I think Putin wanted to pull off the biggest dirty trick of all time.  The result would be to sow chaos and polarization in the Western democracies.  Not to mention putting someone completely incompetent at the head of Russia's biggest geopolitical adversary.  This enables him to do what he wants in the Crimea, in Ukraine, in Syria, and elsewhere.  He also wants to fracture Nato, which he considers a threat to his ambitions in Eastern Europe.

And so far, he's succeeded beyond his wildest dreams. 

The Russians actually covertly supported both sides in the controversy over the NFL players kneeling down for the national anthem!  That shows what they're after- polarization in the western world.

Is that just your opinion or do you have anything to back up what you're saying.... How did they interfere with the NFL and where's your proof of this....and I'm pretty sure they just posted a couple ads on Facebook... Threw out a couple memes on the internet..which really none of them affected the election or the outcome of who won.... The whole thing is a farce....pretty much so far everything the media has said and the Democrats have tried to portray has all been fake... There's really no proof of any of it...
