Actually you can read Russia's intentions, they have several books that outline them pretty clearly. 

Foundations of Geopolitics is required reading by military brass in Russia:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

Written in 1997, it outlines some fairly eerie objectives that are definitely bearing fruit today namely the establishment of a new Russian Eurasian Empire .Some of its objectives

1.) To destabilize the US and to push the US into becoming isolationist, using racial tensions as one cheif tool and gaining "strategic control of the United States". 

2.) To get the UK to seperate from Europe. 

3.) Annexation of Ukraine

4.) The ultimate goal is the "Finlandization" of Europe, meaning all of Europe becomes like an effective Russian bloc. 

Here's the bit about the US:

Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics."

Yeah but sure. Maybe it's all just a misunderstanding and they're just doing this because they like Trump. Some how though I doubt it. They are using him like a puppet. 

You have gone tinfoil hate mode here buddy. I don't really think Putin have outlined his plans for US destablization from a book that has its content viewable in wiki. The world isn't as simple as that. 

And plenty of books are required reading. Doesn't mean it is their handbook outlining their plans for future world domination. They're not morons.

Their actions speak for themselves, they are very plainly doing the things here, beyond that Americans are oblivious to how Russia behaves with interfering in elections of Eastern European countries too. All the stuff they are alleged to have done in this election is stuff they already do in their playbook, and it's all for a reason.

This isn't tin foil hat ... they are actively doing this stuff. 

I'd like to have a peaceful relationship with all countries, but one can't help but be dubious of Russia's actual intentions. I would not be surprised if Putin fashions himself as a new kind of Russian emperor/tsar. Why not?

If you think they are just doing this as a joke, and there's no end game here and nothing to worry about at all, they just annexed Crimea by accident, were pushing for Brexit accidentally, well lets hope you're right. But I think you're wrong. These aren't coincidences. 

To be honest it's not like they're wrong to want what they want in that sense. The US caused the collapse of the Soviet Union, turn about would only be fair in a certain way. It's not like this was 100 years ago either, this was only 25 years ago. I have video games older than 25 years. All the Russian power structure are old enough to have grown up in that system and to see it collapse as it did I'm sure was distressing.
