Never mind: Kremlin says Putin was joking about backing Harris for president

Mr. Putin expressed that endorsement this month, noting that a change in sanctions against Russia could come should she be elected.

Now Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is walking back Mr. Putin’s statement.

“It was a joke,” Mr. Lavrov said in an interview with Sky News Arabia that was posted on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website Friday. “President Putin has a good sense of humor. He often jokes during his statements and interviews.”

“I see no long-term differences in our attitude to the current or previous elections in the United States, because it is ruled by the notorious deep state,” he continued.

Putin? You think Putin is dictator of Ukraine?

In case you didn’t know, Putin has been duly elected President of Russia. Elected 5 times so far.

Zelensky (Ukraine dictator) on the other hand is president only because he canceled an election.

Here’s another thought. Putin has more gravitas than Biden who stole his way into the presidency.

In case you didn’t know, Putin has been duly elected President of Russia. Elected 5 times so far.

Heh...kinda like Sadaam Hussein in Iraq, with 90% of the vote.

Putin wins Russia election in landslide with no serious competition

It's easy to win elections when your political opponents are jailed or die mysteriously, and you get to count the votes.

It's easy to throw stones at Russia. But save a few for the USA as well.

It's easy to win elections when

your political opponents are impeached on false charges
you openly steal an election
your opponents are the subject of years long investigations that were proven false
your political opponents are hampered by the Deep State and the US equilavent of Pravda
your opponents are beset by a man made virus and a summer of rioting in hell hole cities
your opponents are the subject of 20-30 false legal actions
and when your opponents ardent supporters are punished with jail terms, disbarrment and punitive fines simply for challenging fraudulent election results
And much much more.

"Die mysteriously"? If the FBI, DOJ and the Secret Service had been successful in their two assassination atempts (so far), there would be nothing mysterious about the death of Donald Trump.

Think about it. The Russian political infrastructure is far far better than ours.
