Putin says he prefers Joe Biden over Donald Trump in the White House
bbc.com
"Speaking to Russian TV in an on-camera interview on Wednesday, Mr Putin said Mr Biden's leadership would be better for Russia because he was a "more experienced person, he is predictable, he is a politician of the old formation"."
LOL, what clever reverse psychology Mr. Putin! We will definitely all buy that you want the guy pushing to arm your victims rather than the one who wants to give you a free pass. It's frankly shocking how bad they are at their overt manipulation. Their propaganda videos for conservative westerners are incredibly poorly done, like they have no idea what sort of cultural styles appeal to which segments of the US population.
"‘I’m very conservative and traditional’: meet Teddy Boy Greg, a famous barber living in Moscow, 100% tattooed and 100% in love with Russia."
This is probably on purpose, for the same reason that spam emails are so poorly done and have so many misspellings. They want to get the people who are not attentive to details, because they are easier to manipulate.
Chapotraphouse seems to be buying into it...

Isn't that pretty much just a bunch of trolls?
Well im somewhat new on Lemmy so i cant speak with full certainty, but given the replies i was getting to what i commented on this same news piece there... yeah, it's pretty trolltastic.
I can't remember if they're actually pro-Russia, but I chose an instance that doesn't federate with Hexbear for exactly the reason that I don't have to see their trolling. Reddit was nicer once CTH got banned and Lemmy is much better without Hexbear.
Putin used simplistic mental attack on conservatives! It was super effective!
Weakest reverse psychology attempt ever, yet unfortunately it'll still probably work on a lot of idiots.
“Putin says…”
How you know a lie is coming…
Americans are way too smart to fall for such a ruse... Right guys? Guys?
Putain probably thinks he's great at poker too.
I wonder if Trump exploded before having this explained to him or if his buddy gave him a heads up to prevent that.
No, this plays into Trump's campaign messaging. He himself is running on being the "drain the swamp" guy that will be unpredictable and do things differently from other presidents. Putin is just agreeing with that messaging in a roundabout way.
Idiots will believe him.
Wow, master of indirection here...
I mean, why would he possibly want Mr. "I'll pull out of NATO" in charge? Ain't nobody buying that.
Who gives a shit what he thinks? Besides Tucker Carlson, of course.
I think knowing what he wants us to believe can be helpful, but that's the beginning and end of the value of that asshole's statements
Meanwhile we just find out today that a Russian informant lied about the Biden family’s financial dealings with Burisma, which was entirely what the Republicans built their impeachment case upon.
Republicans will surely apologize and retract now, right? Right?
Watch Republicans switch off their Russian loyalty once they get the news
Bullshit.
3D Uno reverse card.
So if MAGA supports Putin and Putin supports Biden, does that mean MAGA supports Biden now? And who knows, maybe even votes for him?
One can dream.
aka he thinks biden will win...
No, he thinks saying that will make people less likely to vote for Biden.
He wants Trump to win. Trump just gave him permission to run rampant over Europe.
yeah, Trump still be simping for Putin
Even if it was true it’s the compliment you want your enemies to make because it indicates what your allies care about as well
Trump will be incredibly furious when he finds out.
I think punctuation would've helped you get your message across, lol
