You may have missed it, but smiling Russian strongman, Vladimir Putin came down hard on the side of Kamala Harris, America's "joy" presidential candidate. Speaking on Thursday at the Eastern Economic Forum, Putin praised Harris for her "infectious" laugh.
“Our favorite, if you can call it that, was the current president Mr. Biden," said Putin, “He was removed from the race, but he recommended that all his supporters support Ms. Harris. That’s what we’ll do too, She laughs so expressively and infectiously that it means that everything is fine with her."
The evil, unhinged, psychotic, Hitlerian, corrupt, ignorant, foolish, barely coherent (Ahem, Biden/Harris? Ed.) autocrat went on to say that US governance is "up to the American people."
"Ultimately, the choice is up to the American people, and we will respect that choice," Putin stated. "As for the favorites, it is not up to us to determine that. It is, after all, the choice of the American people."
Well there you have it, is it? I'm in two minds. On the one hand, no matter who wins some kind of vote theater the unelected apparatus of the State and its billionaire backers remain in charge. On the other, if enough people were to vote for a real change maybe there'd be one.
OK, don't hold your breath, but hats off to Vladimirovic for top-level trolling. You'll have noticed the Dems are already rolling out the tired old muh Russia elections wheeze. Will it work round two? Will an incoming Trump 47 be investigated for years as a Kremlin agent, head of CHAOS, SPECTRE and CEO of GRU?
I doubt it, that comedy line's set sail over the horizon. But not to worry, we still have our proxy war in Ukraine, and maybe Blackrock welcomes Sweden's new war campaign:
Like wow, and NATO military, not least our own, worries about a recruiting crisis. Huh. Far out. As one pundit put it, "Surprised that ad hasn't been cancelled for its lack of an identity chevron."
