    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?

            Again:

            Harris says Ukraine should win.

            Trump will not say who should win.

            This happened last night. I heard it with my own ears.

            So, again, why would Putin support the person who wants him to lose the war? Because, again, I think you know the answer.

                My source of what? Those two claims? Again, the debate last night. Putin’s obviously bullshit endorsement of Harris? I can give you a source, but I’m not sure what your whole point here is if you didn’t know about that.

        There’s a big difference between citing facts and citing a statement. You likely have no evidence that the statement is a fact, besides taking the ex-kgb leader of an adversarial nations word at face value, which…does sound a little silly when you say it out loud like that, doesn’t it? Keep in mind this nation has definitely messed with our elections in the past too lol.

          The statement is the fact, and I put no more value to it than that. Make of that what you will, I really don’t care
