News this week via a Russian leak that Vladimir Putin authorized a spy ring to help elect Donald Trump because the Russians felt Trump was an "impulsive, mentally unstable, and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex" (good call) which would lead to "social turmoil" in the U.S. (good call again) and a weakened U.S. Presidency (not on Joe Biden's watch) was met with some skepticism (apparently Putin doesn't "leak"--wink, wink, nudge, nudge).
I'm obviously not an expert on the political machinations of Vladimir Putin, but it makes perfect sense that he would leak the papers now. Putin got what he wanted from Trump--we're more polarized than ever, misinformation is rampant, and our democracy is suffering its greatest threat in our nation's history. Putin is also smart enough to realize that Trump is truly an imbecile and four more years of his nonsense would very likely not just crush America's economy but the world's as well and any harm he can do to Trump's future prospects would be most helpful to not only Russia's economy but Putin's net worth as well (some estimate he may be the richest man in the world).
After four years of the incompetence of Trump, you'd think folks would realize that Putin was playing chess against a man who'd have trouble mastering Old Maid.
