ExactlyNope, it makes them think 'the Commie likes the Commie, so we'd best vote in Trump to keep this great nation away from those leftists'.

It's full of nutters!Though there's only one country it happens in with frightening regularity. ...
You’re talking about a man who was convinced that his army would be waved in all the way to Kyiv by cheering crowds throwing petals at feet of his army contrary to all the evidence. Always worth bearing in mind when trying to work out how Putin thinks.Sorry to disappoint : )
We all know historically he’s wanted trump in and possibly has some kind of hold or influence over him. However, by him talking up Biden does it make some Americans think ‘Putin, don’t like him but strong dictator who appears to have some respect for biden so maybe he’s not as doddery as I thought’ and therefore does it actually make some voters more likely to vote for Biden ?
Just found it strange
Who's he gonna go for here?Interesting intervention. Obviously can’t believe a word that comes out his mouth but trying to work out if he said it because he genuinely leans toward the frail/senile over the unstable nutcase or some kind of bluff.
US election 2024: Putin says he prefers Joe Biden over Donald Trump in the White House - BBC News
It's a change in tune for the Russian leader, who praised Mr Trump during his first presidential run.www.bbc.com
I'm in the 'he's saying it to make mischief' camp. Yes, there is truth that Biden is more predictable than Trump, but I can't see why Putin wouldn't favour someone who he knows he can manipulate.hmmmm. Not sure it will have that desired affect. Parking the MAGA lot to one side (who will see Biden as a commie anyway), the biggest concern Americans have about Biden is his age/mental fragility. This potentially helps to dispel that myth (myth or not). Found it a strange line to take

Why Russia's Putin backing Biden for the US presidency is not what it seems
Had he backed a Trump presidency, it would have been a bigger gift for Joe Biden, says Steve Rosenberg.www.bbc.co.uk
I hear Putin’s thrown his weight behind the Vaughan Gething campaign! He’s not impressed with Jeremy Miles’ stance on the 20 mph speed limit review.Who's he gonna go for here?
Sunak or Starmer?
is he even aware that the mighty UK (that's the proper, sovereign, world beating UK) is also going to the polls this year?
True, but gun restrictions only apply to people who wouldn't break the law anyway.And yet the gun crime rates in Coventry compared to the United States are what?
I really don’t see how anyone in the UK could argue against the success of more restrictive gun laws.
Firearms are no different.
So your general position on crime is that laws don’t work? What’s your policy on illegal migration?True, but gun restrictions only apply to people who wouldn't break the law anyway.
No gun restriction will prevent a criminal getting hold of one if he wants one.
Comparing gun crime rates in the UK to the USA is largely irrelevant. All crime in the USA is way worse, just look at murder rates (and they have the death penalty) and don't even start on the drug problem.
We have unbelievably tight restrictions on cocaine but just look at how prevalent it is
Same with heroine, spice etc etc.
Firearms are no different.

Wow, where did that suddenly appear from,So your general position on crime is that laws don’t work? What’s your policy on illegal migration?
Wouldn't surprise me to see if his poll ratings haven't gone up. Especially among Rep's.Let's get honest, it won't derer any of his crackpot supporters from voting for him. If the rape case didn't then this won't.
I did see some MAGA commentator compare Trump to Navalny.Wouldn't surprise me to see if his poll ratings haven't gone up. Especially among Rep's.

It's all set up for a purge of the protective systems if he becomes President again, isn't it.He's using "crooked" again for the judge that passed the sentence yesterday.
Yup. What more perfect place to start other than to remove all these crooked lawyers, judges and politicians and deranged FBI investigators and insane DA's.It's all set up for a purge of the protective systems if he becomes President again, isn't it.
It’ll be the same as before won’t itThe very real possibility of him becoming president again is genuinely frightening.
It’ll be the same as before won’t it
What can he doPotentially worse, I think he’ll be more emboldened from being re-elected
What can he do

Nothing new that hasn’t happened over 3 millennia
No. It'll be much worse. The world is a much more unstable place now. Almost overturned democracy in the US last time and definitely would this time.It’ll be the same as before won’t it
Circle of influenceNo. It'll be much worse. The world is a much more unstable place now. Almost overturned democracy in the US last time and definitely would this time.
Not sure I understand what you mean but he will dismantle institutions and fill all important roles with sycophants. There are plenty of them who will love the power. He is much more ready for it this time. And it won't be a comfortable place to be in a disadvantaged minority by the way. For some reason people think he doesn't mean what he is saying but he really does. The court cases have made him determined and galvanised his support.Circle of influence

I hope you are right but I fear not. Don't forget his attempted coup on 6 January nearly worked.
