Seems Putin does not care much
He wants a multipolar world without international consent towards a united world, he got it. He wants a cold war again, he got it. He wants confusion and doubts about democracy and life in the US, he got it. Russian tsar shtronk!
Does he want war? Not yet. But peace is not on his agenda.

US republicans and Trump at the helm should normally mean competition and a hard hand towards Russia, but no! The US is weak as never before, ignoring its allies, retreating everywhere, basically betraying what has been done and held up for decades.
Putin's support against the democrats (which are not politically "left" at all, in the US) means that he sees the USA weaker that way, and he has been proven right. Certainly with a bit of internet and troll help (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/29/t...-election.html), but it works. People in the west are so unbelievably dumb. And Putin uses this to its full potential.
