The Russian Federation, and Vladimir Putin, stood to have a much easier time of dealing with a weak, erratic and morally compromised Hillary Clinton than with an unpredictable, driven and unflinching Donald Trump. Frankly, Putin was and still is a little afraid of what strategies he may face in dealing with Trump.
The strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, and the sale of defensive weapons to NATO for the defense of Ukraine, were both sweeping and extraordinary actions on the part of PDJT.
Putin would have invaded Ukraine on day 1 of Hillary’s presidency if she had won.
