According to my mate in the MOD at Whitehall, it seems more likely that Putin will do whatever the fuck he wants knowing that Trump will leave him unchecked.

My mate down the fox and hounds reckons that putin and trump should sort this world out properly.

I've heard quite a lot of talk amongst US investment banker sorts that suggest that Trump may have received some large bail outs from Russian contacts during the fall out of the financial crisis. No idea if it is true or not.

Yup.
Weirdly, this might actually be A Good Thing™with regards to Russia relations – Putin might feel less inclined to poke the bear by fiddling with Ukraine if he has a rapport with Trump (which would be unlikely with Hillary).
That said, Putin is probably a little hesitant about Trump's unpredictability.
Could be wrong on that though. It might be a huge disaster in every way but I'm just trying to find a silver lining here.
