If Russia's (Putin's) goal is to disrupt the normal state of affairs in the USA, he will accomplish more by cutting Trump off abruptly from any help from Russia. Trump would collapse almost instantly and things in this country would be thrown into turmoil. If he wanted to accelerate the process, he could suddenly reveal the kompromat he has on Trump and, perhaps, others in the Republican party.

The result would be a much speeded up impeachment process, leading to a mad scramble to reorganize and execute a power change. In the confusion, Putin would have a pretty free hand to execute his own plans.

So, Trump is praying that Putin will continue to offer support in Trump's last-gasp attempt to preserve his own power.

If Putin thinks that ploy will fail, he might just pull the rug out from under Trump and do something like invade the Crimean peninsula during the ensuing confusion. Putin is evil, but he's smart. Count on him to do the thing that benefits him, regardless of who else suffers.

There's a strong chance that Russia will throw additional monkey wrenches into the works of the United States of America. He can do that very easily at this particular moment.
