What Putey is learning is that "you can negotiate with competence but you can't deal with crazy."
By successfully installing trump, Russia still ensured no one is looking at its land grab in Ukraine. Trump's cruise missiles did absolutely nothing to inconvenience Assad. The stink about chemical weapons is nothing worse than Hillary would have done. The rabidly anti-Russian Poland and the Baltic republics are still terrified and huddling inside their own borders rather than thinking of building further buffers between themselves and Russia By taking chunks out of Russian sphere of influence through NATO.
No, I think Russia has no buyer's remorse, and is laughing its head off in private over how much it has gained, and how easy it is avoid scrutiny over how it gained these by just simply complaining a little about trump.

I think they took the "better the devil you don't know" position. Oops!
No, they took the "better the half wit who has given you so much to blackmail him with, then the evil you know" position, and I doubt they are complaining.
