Thank you for the correction. Let me rephrase my assertion:

"Nothing good for America came of it, nothing good for America will come of it."

As I have pointed out before, President Putin is a true child of the Cold War era and hopes to turn back geopolitics as best he can by:

- using any means possible to weaken and dismantle Europe
- using any means possible to recapture the ring of buffer states around Russia it enjoyed during the Soviet era
- using any means possible to hamstring or eliminate all American intelligence gathering in America and throughout the world

If he happens to recreate the American "threat" of his childhood, so much the better. That's something he knows how to deal with.
