Putin's statement is an attempt to create an alibi for Trump from accusations that he is a Russian agent. Although, Putin may not think so, but still links some hopes with Trump. Just in vain he does it.

For all the time that Trump is in power, he did nothing of what Russia needs. He is an agent of Russia or not an agent of Russia, there is a secret line of communication there or not, his brother-in-law Roman Abramovich has been bribed or not bribed, many in his entourage or few Russian spies - I can not judge, writes Leonid Radzikhovsky for Apostrof.

In fact, Trump gave the go-ahead for the development of shale oil and removes environmental restrictions. Is it beneficial for Russia? No, it's not beneficial. Trump signed a lot of agreements on arms sales to the Middle East. It is unprofitable for Russia - it hoped to relieve at least some weapons in Saudi Arabia, but these hopes were weakened.

Trump increases US military budget. Is it beneficial for Russia? This is for Russia nothing, no way at all. But, if you mean Russian ambitions, psychoses and an eternal desire to compete, then this invitation to continue the arms race. And this would be deadly for Russia, just deadly. Russia will not participate in this, but the fact that it does not participate in it - psychologically unpleasant for Putin. Here, strictly speaking, all the actions of Trump.

All his actions are so fussy, stupid and incomprehensible, about what to say, in favor of or to the detriment of Russia, is difficult. This is some sort of chaos.

And most importantly, of course, that the very fact of Trump's election and the endless talk that Russia has climbed, influences, bribes - an additional form of Putin's demonization. He was finally conserved as the main enemy, the evil wizard Volana de Mort from Harry Potter novels. In the West, Putin is on the list of bad ones, but untouchables can not be named. With him there are. This is not the dictator of North Korea, this is not Bashar Assad, but he is put to hell.

I do not think that Putin is attracted to this glory, he loves any glory. Since there is no positive, let there be at least one. But, on the other hand, I'm not sure that this is what he is so keen to achieve. Therefore, if Russia played a very important role in Trump's victory, which I do not believe, but I can admit, it's a case of a Pyrrhic victory - they threw themselves into a boomerang.

If Putin remains president for six years, and now this issue seems to have been solved, then the country will face years of economic recession and situations that worsen relations with the West.

Accordingly, six years of absolutely meaningless stagnation within the country, since there are no sources for the rapid movement of the economy in Russia and is not foreseen. Yet this is the period of psychological decay, because the constant debate about Stalin, the endless May 9 - a sign that the country is doing something nonsense - is looking not forward, but back. Which exit? No.
