Putin’s Pals Panic That Trump’s Opponent Is No Longer Old, Sick Guy
Putin’s Pals Panic That Trump’s Opponent Is No Longer Old, Sick Guy
One said if the Republican had been “smarter,” he’d have done more to keep Joe Biden in the race.
The news that President Joe Biden would not run for re-election caused a stir not only in America, but also in Russia, where pro-Kremlin propagandists are kicking up a fuss about what it would mean for their beloved Donald Trump.
Appearing on Monday’s broadcast of a state TV show 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev complained that Biden’s move is a disaster for Trump’s election chances. “He is left without any trump cards!” Matveychev said. “Previously, he could easily attack Biden’s health, now he has nothing left to attack. More than that, attacking Biden at this point would be seen as inappropriate and rude.”
“Now they’re switching to [Vice President Kamala Harris] and are trying to attack her, but nothing new will stick to her,” Matveychev added. “Bringing up the fact she is not quite white will only activate her electorate.”
Russian state TV’s coverage of Harris—which is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox News—was largely limited Monday to attempts at mocking her laughter.
Matveychev said that Biden’s departure from the race rendered the previous agenda obsolete. Discussing the age of the U.S. president or an assassination attempt against Trump is now yesterday’s news, he argued.
You're viewing a single thread.
At this point a Trump win is pretty much Putin's only chance of a positive outcome for Russia in Ukraine. No wonder the fuckers are all panicked.
How many days after Trump loses do you think it will take them to pull out of Ukraine? Or will it be flash in the pan assault, mission accomplished but not really, demilitarized zone kind of ending?
Definitely the second.
The war has been going long enough that Russia's economy has retooled for wartime production. They are propping GDP up by spending oil revenues on war production and maintaining consumer confidence through their continuous propaganda, to pull that prop suddenly would likely result in a massive economic collapse.
Putin has no other option but to keep going at this point. So they'll be throwing meat waves into the grinder until they finally run out of meat.
That depends on if the dems take the house. At least the degree of where the lines get drawn in the end will.
How would Putin not get a positive outcome in Ukraine do you reckon?
The US will keep helping Ukraine. Trump will bend over and withdraw support from Ukraine and "let Russia do whatever the hell they want."
If the US keep supporting Ukraine, they're is no way Russia can win.
But in fact the USA has given them uninterrupted support for 2½ years and Russia is winning.
What universe is that in?
USSR propaganda universe
USSR has been gone for 30 years.
- Price of the ruble
- Russian economy on the brink of collapse
- Entire world divesting from Russia
All the extra countries signing up for NATO because of Putins "Military exercise"
