So apparently Biden is Putin's choice for president over Trump...
> "For us, who's better, Biden or Trump?" Russian TV correspondent Pavel Zarubin asked President Putin.
>
> "Biden," Vladimir Putin replied in a flash. "He's more experienced, he's predictable, he's an old-style politician."
@freemo You know that this is just tactics from Russia to make Biden look even worse than he is?
@louis We didnt assume that was the case for Trump, why would we assume that was the case for Biden.
I am pretty strict to apply either sides logic against them consistently. It was accepted at face value for Trump by the Democrats so ill accept it at face value for Biden against the Democrats.
Maybe they should considering not being so toxic and opening the discussion of this stuff to nuance without calling you a Trumper? Then when the tables are turned I might give them the same privilage, but no, thats not how they (democrats or republicans) want to play it. So i will use their own rules.
@freemo Easy, Putin learned. He knows now that whoever candidate he endorses will have a disadvantage at the election. And obviously he's trying to help the American to figure out how stupid all of that is.
@louis He already knew that when he endorsed Trump, I mean how could he not?
But yea obviously i dont think Putin is saying the truth, he is saying what has the effect he wants.... just as he wasnt telling the truth when he endorsed Trump either. He knew endorsing Trump would result in riots, he wanted riots, he never cared about Trump.
Just as he knows endorsing Biden will create turmoil and strife, which is more than enough reason for me.
No, The problem I have with that is the former leader of Russia, the drunkard Boris, picked Putin, because he was the only honest man he foun in the circle around him. He had the last laugh at the CIA at the time. The man has character that's not found in our politcos who like most Big corporate CEO's are psychopaths.
President Putin, in 20 years brought Russia into the modern world and rebuilt a modern Russian military,all without the US having a clue. Russians love him, because their living standards are as good as the West.
@freemo I'm kind of agree with @marathon about being not so smart. Let me explain a bit
I ran from Russia, because my love to Putler was so overwhelming, I basically couldn't function
You, sir, need to switch from cannabis to Russian propaganda to be as smart as this marathon guy
Economy in Russia so great, they are selling eggs by.. singles now. Part of population (let me guestimate.. I'd say around 25-30%) can't even afford 10 or 30 pack, especially seniors, and garbage dumpster diving granny is nothing special these days
Here is example of Russian health care facilities https://kaifolog.ru/russia/7724-novye-uzhasy-rossiyskih-bolnic-50-foto.html
There is no freedom of speech, unless you are kissing Putin's ass or crapping on anything non-Russian, internet is becoming same bolted down version as in China - there are cases when people are getting jail time for likes. For example, Sasha Skochilenko got 7 years for a couple stickers "stop war"
People love Putin as much, as North Korean peasants love Kim (or whoever), it's easy to love someone when alternative is knees broken with a mallet or colon ruptured with a broom
You sir are a moron. Your thinking is why America and NATO aren't winning in Ukraine.
Thats exactly the response I'd expect from someone with a case of chronic dunning-kreuger syndrom.
@freemo
Actually I think that's more your issue and Ancient Goods. I'll believe the experts over the shit you've been expousing. Stick to what you know because Geopolitics isn't it. The people that studied Russia during the 1st cold war don't agree, and I was one of them, ao no I'm not overstepping what I know. So thank-you very much. History will prove me right as are current events happening now.
You're always bragging about who you know and your wealth etc, it's a little sickening, to tell the truth. Maybe be a little humble and learn some history for a change.
