What's Putin got planned after he's exhausted the Chaos of trump?

Russia's still fighting the Cold War and winning as the only participant to infiltrate the other's chief executive officer.

Do you think Putin may crash our power grid by releasing, in unison the hackers that infiltrated our power grid?

Maybe he'll hit our financial systems or freeze out the hospital computers.

What if all the hacks that have been spread out over the past few years came again all at once this time?

His desired result is chaos and he has several tools in his toolkit. Imagine how extreme he can be. He's already attacked and subverted our elections and installed a puppet in the White House. What's next when this no longer serves him? Are we ready?

as he is witnessing the collapse of America as THE leader in the world and reducing our politics to the level of the Hatfields vs the McCoys....

putin as done something no other in history has accomplished to this level, making America impotent. All it took was to place a narcissist in the Whitehouse.

The narcissist will do all the rest as we have seen in just 6 months

He may consider his US goals met in the short term. There's democracy to be subverted elsewhere in the meantime.

Cyber attack on the US infrastructure. The Russian hackers are already probing our nuclear power plants. Cozy Bear 3's fingerprints were all over a recent hack attack on a nuclear power plant in Kansas. They are looking for the kill switch here and have been practicing on the Ukraine, by hitting their infrastructure with outages.

The head of the US cyber unit is leaving his post and this is the scariest development since the election.

In Ted Koppel's book, "Lights Out", all of the experts that he interviewed agreed that a cyber attack on the US power grid is not a question of IF but of WHEN.
