What does Putin want?

Does he want to be Emperor? How far does he want to expand Russia's borders? How much influence does he seek?

His strategy in using Trump to weaken the USA is working brilliantly. He's even got Trump ending sanctions and retreating militarily.

I believe Putin is the real danger to the world, not Trump. Even when Trump croaks, Vlad has Mitch and LG.

the biggest danger we face. As far as his endgame, I know he wants the sanctions dropped and to destabilize the West. Whether he takes his ball and goes home after that is anyone's guess.
