Putin: “Vote for Joe!”
I don’t really want to write about this, but it can hardly be ignored.
Russian strong man Vladimir Putin has endorsed a candidate for president of the United States.
He likes Joe Biden (https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2024/02/14/putin-biden-better-russia-trump-more-predictable/). The White House is not exactly pleased. Not the kind of endorsement calculated to endear him to the voters.
Why would Putin want Biden re-elected? Well, as Putin himself put it, SloJo is “more predictable.” “We will work with any leader of the United States who is trusted by the American people,” he added. Vlad, you need to get out more.
By now I think almost all of us can predict what SloJo will say or do in any situation.
Problem? It’s Donald Trump’s fault!
Economy slipping? Heck, no! We have a fabulous economy!
Millions of illegal aliens swarming across our border? Ain’t happenin’, dude! But if it is, it’s Trump’s fault!
Special favors for China? “What’s in it for me? If the price is right, I’m sellin’!”
Civil strife? “It’s those neo-fascists, those MAGA people!”
And so on and so on. He takes ownership of NONE of his disastrous policy capers.
Of course Putin is going to endorse him! With Biden remaining in the White House, global villains can do anything they please. Music to Russia’s and China’s and Iran’s ears. They can always pay him off if he gets balky.
It’s hard to imagine an endorsement by the Russian bad guy is an asset to anyone’s presidential campaign. But it’s not hard to imagine SloJo asking himself, “What would Castro do?”
