The same reason Putin favors nationalists everywhere.


Putin's Russia is largely isolated by international institutions. His goal is not to further integrate Russia, which would potentially not benefit his own iron grip on power (apparently in his mind), but instead to put pressure on those institutions that isolate him. In essence, to bring the world down to Russia's level, instead of raising Russia up to the world's. Thus, Russia's interference in the initial Brexit vote in favor of "Leave".

More importantly, why do all these erstwhile defense hawk repubs suddenly feel they know better than literally all our own intel agencies, except they, like Trump, feel the assessment works against Trump?

If you'd really like an answer to this question, I'd suggest watching "The Great Hack" on Netflix.
