The news that President Joe Biden would not run for re-election caused a stir not only in America, but also in Russia, where pro-Kremlin propagandists are kicking up a fuss about what it would mean for their beloved Donald Trump.
Appearing on Mondayās broadcast of a state TV show 60 Minutes, State Duma member Oleg Matveychev complained that Bidenās move is a disaster for Trumpās election chances. āHe is left without any trump cards!ā Matveychev said. āPreviously, he could easily attack Bidenās health, now he has nothing left to attack. More than that, attacking Biden at this point would be seen as inappropriate and rude.ā
āNow theyāre switching to [Vice President Kamala Harris] and are trying to attack her, but nothing new will stick to her,ā Matveychev added. āBringing up the fact she is not quite white will only activate her electorate.ā
Russian state TVās coverage of Harrisāwhich is a carbon copy of what is playing on Fox Newsāwas largely limited Monday to attempts at mocking her laughter.
Matveychev said that Bidenās departure from the race rendered the previous agenda obsolete. Discussing the age of the U.S. president or an assassination attempt against Trump is now yesterdayās news, he argued.
What universe is that in?
USSR propaganda universe
USSR has been gone for 30 years.
āThe war is over. Russia has won. There is no Ukrainian offensive anymore, but the White House and the American media have to keep the lie going,ā a senior US intel official told Hersh. āThe truth is if the Ukrainian army is ordered to continue the offensive, the army would mutiny. The soldiers arenāt willing to die any more, but this doesnāt fit the B.S. that is being authored by the Biden White House.ā
