I think the prospect of a pro Russian president was something that could never have been imagined given the history... Putin of course helped Trump win the WH. Like all dictators he had the benefit of being able to play the long game...
As I said, it was always when, not if. Especially given the history of Russia and the West, it should have been obvious that a pro-Russian US president is something that would have been something Russia would aim for. Ditto Brexit, where they succeeded & still have assets here including Farage.

Brexit was likely the dry-run for Trump's first victory in 2016, Cambridge Analytica deeply involved in both.
