Long but very good read, the basic premise seems to be that even if Trump isn't beholden to Putin that America would become much weaker and more importantly (for Russia) that NATO would become weaker. This would allow Russia to more effectively throw it's weight around and even allow it to complete some more Crimea style land grabs.
Really "Make Russia Great Again" is pretty apt.

PFC Jim Wheeler - Well Trump has already pledged to cut support for NATO even going sofar as saying he would ignore our treaty obligations to defend NATO partners if they were attacked by Russia.

As for making the U.S. weaker, that's mainly focused by the likelihood that the U.S. economy would go into a tailspin if Trump were elected, resulting in a strong recession if not a depression.
In short, what's bad for America is good for Russia, and President Trump would be VERY good for Russia.

Estonia's president said not only did his country meet its commitments to the alliance, but, "we are equally committed to all our NATO allies."

PO2 Robert Aitchison - So weakening NATO is probable, tweaking the U.S. is possible but mostly conjecture. Correct?

PFC Jim Wheeler - True, though I'm not aware of any economists who would disagree with that assessment.

Dictators like other Dictators, There is none of that Wishy Washy Democracy to get in the Way. One Man decides everything, Preferably a Paternal Dictator, a Great Father Figure, A Czar. Russia just replaced one with another.
