Putin has lots to gain from breaking up the EU I'd say.
Probably feels the same way as we did when the CCCP disolved. Who would want an economically and militarily powerful neighbour with an opposing ideology ? Can't blame the man for that ;-)

Oh, I totally understand, but as Russia has a low regard for human rights, high levels of corruption and the average life expectancy lowered after the USSR broke up EVEN with all the oil I'm not so happy with Putin's reign of misinformation/general assholery.
I don't see a win-win or moderate lose-win scenario here. He's stoking xenophobia too/promoting misinformation, which is a win for him but also for the global 0.0001%
It's time to sell those issues as both a security risk/economic harmful issue, but people are distracted by identity politics atm it seems :/

BTW the brexit Front National seems to loan/get a lot from Russian Banks. Putin has lots to gain from breaking up the EU I'd say. Not sure if alufoil hat or healthy paranoia...
