Russia is happy with any outcome that destabilizes the US. I’m sure they’d prefer for Trump to win, but the infighting only serves them. You better believe they’ll push the “Trump is unfit” narrative if he wins.

Not saying they’re wrong, just saying that we shouldn’t be taking Russia’s word for anything. They’re seizing an opportunity, not conveying reliable information about a candidate or demonstrating their own posture towards him. Propaganda isn’t news just because we like the message.

Alternate theory: Trump forgot to cup the balls while blowing Putin this week, and now Daddy Putin is gonna punish him a little bit.
