OTOH, Putin may want a partner in the war against the Muslims. He can't want a Muslim Europe next door, that would be a powerful enemy, and America would be Muzzie-friendly with Clinton in charge. European tech coupled with jihad would be bad news.

But....if he helps Trump win, he will have a friend in Trump. Trump won't let him get away with everything, but he will be willing to work with him as a respected world leader. That may be better for Russia in the long run. Putin is smart enough to think long term strategy.
