      He endorsed her specifically so that Trump would say that in the debate. And he did.

              Please explain why Putin would endorse the person who says that Ukraine should win the war over the person who won’t say that.

                I don’t need to explain anything. Again, I’m just citing facts, and you’re guessing. But honestly, how much do you think your armchair analytics are really worth? Or anyone’s for that matter?

                  I just cited facts too.

                  Harris wants Russia out of Ukraine.

                  Trump refuses to say what he wants Russia to do.

                  Why would Putin sincerely endorse Harris? I think you know the answer is that he wouldn’t.

                    Because you, quote ‘don’t live under a rock’, was that the citation you consider a fact?

          Here’s a guy who believes things that come out of Putin’s mouth, over his own eyes and his own government.

          Remind me, which side just got busted for being literally paid by Russia to post pro-russian propaganda about the election and Ukraine? Wasn’t that conservatives? If Putin wants Kamala, why is Russia paying American conservative influencers millions of dollars to sway voters away from her?

            Lmao I don’t really give a damn. I just quoted Putins’ own words, make that what you will and the fact is he supports Harris apparently.

              I know you quoted Putin’s own words, that was my whole point lol. He said those words in response to the US GOVERNMENT saying that he is paying conservative influencers to influence the US election.

              So, which source do you believe, Putin, or the US government? Go on

                  Here’s the official statement

                  The US business that was implicated has been named as Tenet Media, which employs Tim Pool and Benny Johnson, noted Trump supporters. Each of whom was being paid $100s of thousands of dollars by Tenet, who was in turn being paid directly by Russia. Tenet has since shut down and the creators are lawyering up.

                  Here’s an article from BBC giving more details about who was involved, with quotes from the conservative influencers that took the money, and from the DOJ. I will put some quotes below but I strongly suggest you read the whole thing because it does seem like you personally have fallen victim to this Russian propaganda.

                  “While the views expressed in the videos are not uniform, the subject matter and content of the videos are often consistent with the Government of Russia’s interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition to core Government of Russia interests, such as its ongoing war in Ukraine,”

                  The platform’s two founders “admitted to each other in their private communications that their ‘investors’ were, in truth and in fact, the ‘Russians’”, the indictment says

                  Editing to add the actual indictment for you, since we care a lot about sources in this thread! https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1366266/dl

                    No, I mean that the US government claims Putin support of Harris is false or a charade.

              If you’re just going to quote people and accept it as fact, I have the metal scrapping rights for the Eiffel tower for sale and I’m willing to do so for cheap.

      That’s because officially Putin knows who he supports has negative connotations for the electorate.

      Whoever Putin visibly puts his weight behind is the opposite of who he wants to win.

        It’s also so the MAGA rubes (who mostly secretly root for Putin) can say “See Trump don’t balong ta no won cause Pootin was for the Kamunist!”
