They are and sure the US does bad things covertly worldwide. 

But let me ask you would you rather live in a US world order or a Russia-centric world order. 

There is going to be no magically fairy land where all countries agree to not want "too much power", a vacuum of power simply means someone else is going to seize it, and those who seize power are usually not teddy bears. 

Neither, I would hope both keep disrupting the other so no winner is ever seen 

Yeah but that's not how reality works.

You assume this is like a school playground where the kids stop playing rough and agree to a time out, this is not how geopolitics works.  

Like for example, do you think Russia will not try now to do this type of thing in every election? Strategically from their POV it's a brilliant move. 

Why expend so much in military spending when you can just puppeteer/blackmail/sabotage the entire politcal process? From a purely startegic POV looking at this purely like a chess game is for Russia to go even harder on this in the future and attempt the same in 2018 and 2022, and also to do this in Europe as well (France has elections coming on up). 

The absolute correct call based on what's happening is for them to continue this strategy, and not only continue it but expand upon it.
