Putin claims support for Kamala Harris, jokes about "infectious laugh"
Putin said Russia's "favorite" in the U.S. presidential election was Joe Biden, but that it would now "support" Kamala Harris.
He supported Biden last time.
Same playback as trump. Coincidence? Nope just dictators doing their thing
That's right. Dictators are supporting other dictators. As Putin said, Biden and Harris share their values.

BBC News, Moscow 9 November 2016 Deputies in Russia's parliament broke into applause at the news Donald Trump had been elected US president.
Vladimir Putin wasted no time sending his congratulations and state TV channels switched quickly from claims of fraud, to hailing the triumph of the "man of the people".
Hmm.
Harris is Biden 2.0, which makes her predictable. Trump has a greater tendency to ignore his staffers, and advisors who are part of the Deep State. Putin can't predict a Trump administration with the same confidence. Putin understands Trump is a minor outlier inside US foreign policy, which is contolled by the establishment. For example, look at the Wikipedia resume of a guy like Bill Burns who has worked under many presidents.
That is the interesting part and has been brought up before. Trump is more unpredictable which means people are less likely to test him.
In Syria, Wagner troops screwed with American troops, historically be backed down from those fights. Trump didn't and left several hundred dead. Russia wasn't expecting that results.
Trump is extremely predictable when it comes to flattery tho.
