Putin says: preference for Biden remains unchanged despite the debate

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that he had seen fragments of the debate between Joe Biden and Donald Trump but that his preference for Biden as the next US president remained unchanged.

Asked by a state television reporter if Biden or Trump was better if his publicly stated preference for Biden had changed after the debate, and if he had seen it, Putin said "Nothing has changed".

"Did we not know what could come? We knew," Putin added.

Putin has several times said that he feels Biden is preferable as the future U.S. president to Trump, even after Biden cast the Kremlin chief as a "crazy SOB".

Putin said that he had seen parts of the debate between Biden and Trump but he had other things to attend to.

"I saw some fragments," Putin said. "But I have enough to do".

Biden, 81, put in a stumbling performance during the debate, which brought questions about his age and mental fitness to the forefront of the campaign.

I think Vlad is playing a little reverse psychology here.

Putin understands that Berlin Wall 2.0 separating EU Ukraine and Soviet Russia with no cross border travel and forever sanctions are a disaster. The panic is setting in. Russia is desperate for a deal with Dementia Joe before Trump takes office.

Putin is afraid of President Trump.

Ty and the pro Putin liars who keep calling me a “Biden supporter” can KMA.

They are the Biden supporters, along with their hero Putin.

Oh but they said Putin was here to save the Western World from Biden. Idiots.

Putin and many of his propagandists here, want no part of Trump.

Putin is no longer screwing around. He realizes the West isn’t changing. He will therefore establish a buffer at the Dnieper River. That’s means this ridiculous DC meddling will cost Ukraine Kharkiv, Kiev and Odessa. Those are all traditional Russian cities will form the Russian western border. Poland and Hungary will most likely liberate their traditional lands lost at the end of WWII. What’s left of rump Ukraine might need a UN mandate to survive.

The Putinists are truly demented and living in a Soviet fantasy land if they really think President Trump is on the side of Putin and his botched invasion of Ukraine.

I remember one of the Alec Guinness “Smiley” miniseries used Russian nesting dolls as the opening credits, which was a brilliant metaphor for the kind of game-within-a-game-within-a-game for which the KGB was legendary. Who the hell knows what Putin really is in the best interests of himself and Russia? It’s a mystery wrapped in an enigma, as Churchill once said. But who cares? All we can worry about is who’s better for America… and that’s DJT

Putin’s clown army is a flop and your delusions about any capture of those cities are silly Soviet fever dreams.

I think Vlad does not want WWIII and he knows Joe’s handlers behind the curtain do.

Russia produces 11.300,000/bbls of oil a day and a lot of natural gas.

Biden’s energy EO has been worth nominally $90bilion/yr in oil alone revenues to him.

He wants climate hoax oil energy prices. He doesn’t want to go out begging for global production cuts as he was under MAGA oil previously.

As we close in on the most important election in my lifetime, I urge you to refresh your image of the horror of WAR.
Why?
Because this 2024 election is between the America hating Soros, Obama, Marxist Democrats & RINOs allied $$$$ Military-Industrial Complex WAR HAWKS and DONALD TRUMP!
President Trump has often declared abhorrence of events such as those depicted in films like “Hamburger Hill” & diplomatically avoided several situations between 2016 & 2020 that could have led to war!
Doesn’t concern you? Have or going to have kids?
Think about YOUR KIDS ON THAT HILL as the MIL-IND COMPLEX & their bought & paid for DEEP STATE flunkies laugh all the way to the bank!
It sure as hell concerns all of us...or should!
FILM HERE: (FREE!)
“HAMBURGER HILL”

Putin prefers Biden so his donkey Obama can continue to do “useful things” ... I continue to believe Biden only pretends to be anti-Putin to facilitate the mutually profitable business of war in Ukraine. Trump would threaten that unspoken agreement.

Of course Vlad wants Biden.

Oil was $40.00 a barrel in November 2020. It’s now $83.00 per barrel.

Oil is Russia’s major export, so of course they are going to prefer the guy who shut down much of America’s oil production and made the price skyrocket.....Joseph Robinette Biden.

Ukraine ping

Trump slaughtered hundreds of Russian mercs over a piece of Syrian wasteland. He could have ordered an American retreat or simply let Americans be killed, as Obama and Biden both did.

Unlike Syria, Ukraine isn’t just valuable in itself, for its people and natural resources, it’s also a traditional way station for Russian invasions of Europe. What Trump will do on Ukraine only he knows, but past sweet nothings to Putin accompanied by sanctions or worse on Russia are one reason to view with skepticism the idea he’ll be soft on Russia.

For one thing, just on prestige alone, if Putin conquers Ukraine on Trump’s watch, his historical stature rises above Trump’s. Does Trump want to be Hertz, #1, or Avis, an also-ran? His first term suggests Hertz. His urging Europe to spend more on defense is clearly aimed at warding off Russia, as is his reactivation of V Corps and placing it in Poland, in preparation for the stationing of 50K GIs hundreds of miles closer to Russia.

If Putin somehow had a vote here in November he’d vote (D).
