Why on earth would the Russians prefer a strong-on-defense team like Trump-Pence in power at a time when Putin is seeking to basically bring back the Soviet Union. A strong American military is the last thing Putin wants now. On the other hand, the Obama-Hillary admin decimated our military. This while they handed Putin everything he could ever hope for on all-important missile defense and nukes, including the Iran nuke deal.
Because Hillary Clinton was bought and owned by the "neo-con" globalists in Washington who have been orchestrating military campaigns against Russian allies for 25 years. Trump is an American nationalist who recognizes that crap for what it is.
