This is interesting. Putin snuzzles up to the Trumpster:
“He’s a very lively man, talented without doubt,” Putin said according to the Interfax news service after the three-hour news conference. He added that Trump is the “absolute leader in the presidential race.”
“He’s saying he wants to go to another level of relations, closer, deeper relations with Russia,” Putin continued. “How can we not welcome that? Of course we welcome that.”

Putin is savvy enough to understand that the world's perception of Donald Trump as the political leader of the U.S. (As unlikely as I hope that reality is) would lead to devolution of American influence around the globe. This would be beneficial to Russia and Putin.
