Russian President Vladimir Putin raised eyebrows Thursday when he expressed his support for US Vice President Kamala Harris’ presidential bid, flattering the Democratic nominee with some curiously timed remarks.
“Our ‘favorite,’ if you can call it that, was the current president, Mr. [Joe] Biden. But he was removed from the race, and he recommended all his supporters to support Ms. Harris. Well, we will do so – we will support her,” Putin said Thursday at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok. “She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that she is doing well.”
Putin also criticized former president and current Republican nominee Donald Trump for placing “so many restrictions and sanctions against Russia like no other president has ever introduced before him.”
Putin’s comments come on the heels of sweeping sanctions announced by the Biden administration to combat a Russian government-backed disinformation effort to influence the 2024 elections and boost Trump’s candidacy.
And despite the Russian leader’s vocal support of the Democrats, US Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco said on Wednesday that three Russian companies – at Putin’s direction – used fake profiles to promote false narratives on social media. Internal documents produced by one of those Russian companies show one of the goals of the propaganda effort was to support Trump’s candidacy or whoever emerged as the Republican nominee for president, according to an FBI affidavit.
So what is Putin trying to accomplish?
If the past is any guide, Putin is simply stirring the pot of US domestic politics. In December 2015, Putin praised Trump, calling him the front-runner months before the businessman secured the Republican nomination.

It’s also possible that Putin was simply trolling Harris by winking at a consistent insult from Trump about the way she laughs.
Hinting that Putin is trying to make both Trump and Harris look bad? Who knows.
endorsement?
hell
the dems will send him a mail in ballot
“Russian President Vladimir Putin...expressed his support for US Vice President Kamala Harris”
There it is, looks like the Zeepers and Leftists here were right, all along - Putin is inserting himself into the US Election.
Just one question - since Putin endorsed their candidate, will they complain about it? I, somehow, doubt it. In fact, let’s see if they stop posting trash about Putin, now that Putin is on their side.
Pooty Pooh knows he’ll be able to walk all over the giggling jiggly wiggling Karen.

I wonder which RINO talked Pooty Pooh into endorsing the Jamaican Injun. Liz? The Zingulator? Mittens? Barry Sombrero? Clintoon?
Whatever that means, it sounds true.
He endorsed Biden before. You are being full Dem by pushing your take.
Maybe Hodge is a realist and a secret MAGA voter.
Putin gets the most advantage from a 50-50 race that Harris wins but has us at each other’s throats for the next four years. Putin loses from a crushing win by Trump who then opens up the oil spigots and drives down world prices.
PDS — Putin derangement syndrome.
When Vladimir Putin notes his preference, it's 'trolling'? He's a respected world leader. He can voice his preference's too. I can see why he prefer's Kambala. She is a dumb beotch who poses no threat.
The great Russian Collusion of 2016 was the Trump pee tapes, and Trumps secret servers to Russia, that was verified by a trusted MI-6 retired agent, the pee tape only, (that means lies for hire) and we are now repeating the same crap again. That was a lie, it was verified a lie after years of investigation by special council Muller that knew it was a lie from the beginning. He is an evil man that changed the 2020 election by suborning lies he knew were lies.
He (Christopher Steele was paid if my memory is correct by the Clinton campaign and the DNC. My memory is correct. The monies were funneled through Fusion GPS.
Per Wiki they are, “Fusion GPS is a commercial research and strategic intelligence firm based in Washington, D.C. The company conducts open-source investigations and provides research and strategic advice for businesses, law firms and investors, as well as for political inquiries, such as opposition research.
It was all a lie! It was a lie that was repeated by the media and they knew it was a lie! It changed the 2020 election not alone but with their other many lies.
The media is our true enemy. If the truth is told, fair and knowledgeable elections will occur if one be left or right. If the truth is not told, the voter has no real knowledge of how to vote. If blatant election fraud is committed, the people have no voice as is such in Venezuela today.
I lived in Venezuela in the 70s before Chavez. It was a great place and it was corrupt. It was less corrupt than our nation today. It had a thriving middle class that was expanding each year. It had some very rich at the top. It had some poor at the bottom but none were hungry. The middle class were the majority and the poor became less and less every year. Venezuela had the highest standard of living in South America prior to Chavez and communism. That is all gone and will not return until communism in Venezuela is gone.
We must not allow what happened to Venezuela happen to us!
Must be true. CNN said it.

You can’t vote Communists out.....they won’t let you.
LOL. When you think "the most trusted name in news..." Yeah, because Darth Vader is the narrator.
Accurate history. Fool me once, shame on you... Well, You and I were not fooled in 2020, but there were enough Chicken Littles to doom us to 4 years of Joe and Kamala. When Joe blew it at the 1st debate it seemed like a miracle, but it’s not over yet.
No idea what this has to do with Ukraine.
He said it during an interview. Can you find it on YouTube. He’s just messing with her.
