I don’t know that this story is on any average person’s radar. These aren’t the yellow ribbon days of 1980. But assuming Putin did it to help Harris, if a comrade can’t help another comrade, whom can he help?
This is a set up for campaign ads. Because it happened today, before the election which has less passage of time. Because passage of time that makes something happen tomorrow instead of today is less progressive...wierd. And it happened today instead of yesterday, even though today was tomorrow yesterday, because the passage of time is so wierd.
