However the biggest common sense argument is that a crippled US economy will not benefit the Russians. I'm on board that the US is in trouble, and it's slowy becoming a house of cards, though much slower than conspiracy theorists argue.

However, it's not a zero sum game. A US economic collapse will trigger a world collapse including Russia. China and India cannot support the world or even make Russia profitable without the US.
China would likely collapse as well as they are one of the largest bearers of US T-bills and bonds. As much as China might seem aggressive at times they have a vested economic interest in seeing the US survive.
