And why he would kick your ass at chess.
In people's recent 'respect' and 'admiration' for Putin, they're gawking so much they can't see the setting up of the pieces for checkmate.
What does Putin want most from The West?
America diminished on the global stage, with an eye on our influence in Eastern Europe gone. Our involvement in NATO gone. Our give a sh*t about Ukraine going the NATO route gone.
And if he doesn't want that, he's an idiot and doing all this for nothing.
Biden isn't as weak as you are led to think. His persona is weak, he is weak and in an alternate reality, but his position on perpetually funding a Ukraine proxy war that has DECIMATED Russian military capability is not, and not preferred because "it's predictable".
Unless Putin likes the predictability of his troops dropping like flies to USA MIC supplied munitions?
Joe is weak on our own border, without question, but on European proxy war funding he's there. I am betting Russia also wants America to divert its funding to its own border. Interesting how that "one or the other" device was thrown out for consumption.
But who's been ratcheting up the BS against NATO? Whose taking an increasingly hard line against the Ukraine funding, and calling NATO a racket? Who wants to march us off the global war stage for overspending on others?
Biden would never consider leaving NATO
Trump has all but promised it.
So spare me the simple-minded explanation you believe to be the reasoning why Putin prefers Biden, but I think if Trump pulls us out of NATO (like he's really hinting at), his role as Putins Fan-Boy pawn has been fulfilled. Donald Lukashenko. Rolls off the tongue.
USA, in it's quest for recaptured greatness, willingly gives up its prominent role as global military superpower, as China can't believe Putin used Trump to pull it off.
And then BRICS countries eat us alive without the global positioning to defend ourselves through mutual interest anymore.
I don't think Trump really wants out of NATO, he likes the EU spending lots of money on US weapons (of course the CIA as well) so he makes this threat leaving NATO but he would never do that.

I'm allowed to speculate and go insane too. If Trump pulled us out of NATO he might as well be a Lukashenko.
I just have this unshakable image of Trump approaching Putin like this:
I'm worried that, like Tucker Carlson, that 'admiration' (or the The most powerful single person on Earth) will use him as a vehicle to deliver bullsh*t with.
Personal distaste aside, my hope is Trump really does uphold the Military Industrial Complex status quo, because that is what RUSSIA AND CHINA ACTUALLY FEAR about us.

Re: twitter.com...
What kind of drug is Zelenskyy high on? That is such weird behavior. Maybe he's cracking under pressure? After all, his career is comedy...fun stuff.
(BTW...whenever you see a long URL that has a "?" embedded. You can remove that "?" and everything to the right after pasting it, like I did with the Twitter URL above.)[/quo
OK Thanks
