My thoughts on it are that it seems like a very good thing when the two powers controlling 90% of the nukes better their relationship and the details of why that relationship is improving is secondary. Sure it is likely Trump and Putin have some private deal(s) going on that help enrich both them, but we already know they are both enriching themselves through their positions with or without them having a relationship. So let them play kissy, kissy...it makes little difference to the corruption, but it could make a big difference in the chances of them starting to nuke each other over Syria.

However, on the the flip side, there is one remote, very scary possibility. What if Trump and Putin got super-duper chummy and decided to become a two-headed dragon holding the rest of world hostage with their combined nukes? Together they could change the whole balance of power across the globe. Pretty unlikely though as hopefully they are both too egotistical to ever collude to form an "equal" partnership.
