Putin is marginal, and a distraction.

He is trying to destroy the EU by weakening European states who are part of it because Russia cannot join since to be a member of the EU a nation has to be a democracy. Putin is against integration and a strong European economy because it makes his kleptocracy a naked example of Russian backwardness.
That is why he invaded the Ukraine because they wanted to join the EU.
Why he supported Le Pen in France and Farrage in the UK: they were against the EU. He supported Scottish separation in the UK and Brexit with internet bot campaigns designed to influence British opinion just like he did in our election in 2016. The RT network is basically Putin's effort to denigrate western European integration and a strong EU economy by televising the anti-EU message to countries in Western Europe.
People who supported Trump are afraid of an false external immigration problem that doesn't exist. While Trump has distracted his base with racism he has made our kids and grandkids less wealthy by giving a huge tax break to his fellow billionaires that they will have to somehow pay for. The base is getting duped but everyone is going to pay for it.
