[Regnum] Russian President Vladimir Putin's wordsabout Moscow's support for US Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris are evidence that the Russian side is indifferent to the results of the US presidential election. This opinion was expressed on September 7 by retired US Armed Forces officer Daniel Davis on his YouTube channel.
“They [the Russian authorities] are thus hinting that they don’t care who will be the president of the United States,” he said.
According to the expert, former US President and Republican candidate for this post Donald Trump could be a more preferable political figure for Moscow if he wins the elections, as he has repeatedly spoken about his intention to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. However, against this background, the Russian President declared the intention of the Russian side to support Harris.
"They [Russia] don't take us seriously, and that puts us in an awkward position," Davis added.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 5, Putin called Harris Moscow's favorite in the upcoming American presidential election after the current US President Joe Biden refused to participate in the election race. The Russian leader also noted her infectious laughter. At the same time, he emphasized that the American people will choose the US president, and Russia will treat the choice with respect.
On September 7, American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk called the Russian president's words about supporting the US vice president interesting. And Trump said that he was hurt by Putin's words about supporting Chris.
Leading researcher at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Center for Security Studies Konstantin Blokhin called Putin's words "subtle political trolling" on September 5. According to him, both Biden and Harris are actually damaging the United States and leading the country in the wrong direction.
