Kamala, of course. Here’s why.
Putin is almost terrified of some other Trump presidency, but not so much of Kamala. The Russians considered him distasteful, unintelligent and incompetent, and he was possibly unbalanced and manipulated in the eyes of Moscow.
DEMOCRATS TELL US THAT THE OFFER WAS VERY CLEAR. WAIT UNTIL THE US GETS KAMALA HARRIS’ TURN

Russian media, controlled almost exclusively by the state, wondered on Monday whether the “taunts and laughter,” “nervous and out-of-place applause,” “exaggerated gesticulations,” absurd statements such as “the passage of time” and “strange” facial expressions are the result of a psychiatric disorder or a constant state of intoxication.
Russian analysts expect Harris to continue Biden’s policies aimed at transforming the United States from a society based on meritocracy and competition to one hyper-focused on forced equality and government regulation, typical of a socialist system. Since socialism destroyed the USSR, Moscow believes that, like Harris, leading the United States down the path of destruction is a smart thing to do for Russia, which sees the United States as its main security threat.
Vice President Kamala Harris tells an anecdote at an event in Colorado.
Harris, like Biden, who has called Putin all sorts of derogatory names, including “war criminal,” “murderer,” “murderous dictator,” and “pure thug” (a sign that Putin’s moves have put him under the skin) The Russians believe that it could also be shaken through the former KGB agent. Harris has criticized Putin in the past, accusing him of brutality and of being guilty of the death of Alexei Navalny, his political opponent.
By contrast, former President Trump, a gifted statesman and shrewd businessman, acted with respect toward Putin, knowing that the Russian is not afraid of words. Instead, Trump has pursued the most formidable anti-Russian policy since former President Reagan, after taking steps to counter Moscow’s anti-American policy.
TRUMP’S ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SHOWS THAT PUTIN AND XI THE WEST UNDER BIDEN’S WATCH IS VULNERABLE AND OUT OF FOCUS

Trump founded the first all-new U. S. armed service since 1947, the United States Space Force, in December 2019. This was 18 years after Putin created the Russian Space Force, whose project is to attack American satellites, on which our military depends for all facets of war: missile warning, navigation, reconnaissance, target selection, command and precision strikes.
The key project of the U. S. Space Force. UU. es attack our area ships and attack enemy area assets through offensive operations.
In September 2018, Trump launched lawful offensive cyber operations against his adversaries, allowing the US military to step up cyber operations targeting the Russian network of forces. This is direct retaliation against Russia, which had been hacking into US networks for more than two decades and compromising every major federal agency, including the power grid and nuclear facilities.

S. troops would lead to a resurgence of the extremist group. (U. S. Army Photo) (U. S. Trooper Zoe Garbarino via AP)
In 2018, as part of the United States’ modernization of its nuclear arsenal, Trump ordered the development of a low-yield, nuclear-armed, sea-launched cruise missile. This is a direct counterpoint to Putin’s atomic “escalation and de-escalation. ” strategy, the objective of which is to detonate a low-yield tactical nuclear warhead in the theater of combat operations – such as in Ukraine – to deter the United States from intervening.
The Biden-Harris leadership has canceled Trump’s agenda. Today, Washington goes into a frenzy every time Putin issues a nuclear threat.

Putin is perfectly aware that Trump would not hesitate to shed Russian blood to protect U. S. forces. In 2018, a small organization of U. S. forces stationed in Syria attacked through a bunch of Bashar al-Assad loyalists, adding Russian members of the Wagner Group. Some three hundred people, including Wagnerians, were killed when a small force of 30 to 40 U. S. special forces heroically repelled the attack with the help of local allies.
There is no direct retaliation from Putin.
Similarly, Trump did not hesitate before ordering U. S. forces to attack Iranian Qassem Soleimani, the murderous commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, killed on Jan. 3, 2020, outside Baghdad International Airport. To do this, the ayatollahs placed Trump on the list of assassination targets, where he remains today.
Putin knows that Trump can be fooled without problems.

In 2017, the then-president signed into law the US government’s ban on Kaspersky Lab, a Moscow-based antivirus software corporation owned by Eugene Kaspersky, a former KGB intelligence officer turned cybersecurity expert.
It is a Russian cyberespionage platform that US federal agencies – which award contracts to the highest bidder – voluntarily installed on civilian and military networks, after paying the Russian “businessman” for his “protection” against malware. It takes a smart New York real estate mogul to understand how criminals like Putin operate.
Compare that to the Biden-Harris team, which begged Iran to impede its nuclear program, after providing the ayatollahs with billions that they all but redirected to anti-American actions.
As for Ukraine, Trump said that if he were elected president, he would end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours,” prompting considerations that he would give Putin everything he wanted. The Russians are in a strong negotiating position, having prepared their military and economy for a multi-year war, while the United States and Europe are unable to help Ukraine in a protracted standoff against Russia, as they do not have the trade capacity to fill their weapons and are quickly depleted. arsenal.

Putin knows this and will almost lead complicated negotiations on Ukraine, no matter who is sitting on the other side of the negotiating table. That said, if there is an American politician who can intimidate and outsmart the Russian dictator, Trump has the most productive chance to do so.
Putin is not afraid of the hysterical statements made about him. What he fears is a indeed strong NATO, whose military strength has been weakened under the Obama administration. Unlike Biden, who has placed the burden of investment in Ukraine on the United States, a policy Harris will almost certainly continue: Trump will most likely force all NATO members to shell out a few euros to fund their security. Ask an ordinary American if Germany, the richest country in Europe so far, doesn’t spend 2% of its GDP on NATO, merits that should be protected through American taxpayers.
When it comes to gangsters like Putin, the choice between Teflon Don and the mocking Kamala is easy.
