I just don't know who that's supposed to target. No one on the left(US left) believes or listens to him. The right is supposedly endearing to him so that just confuses them. Just comes across as either desperate AF or consolatory in the likelihood of Harrison taking office.

Tbh I think it’s probably just an attempt to throw a wrench in the works and misdirect the attention of gullible people. I can just about guarantee Trump will use this and start going off about how “Putin LOVES Harris”, even though it’s clearly nonsense.
Well they know anything he says he wants, the other side will try to use as ammo. Say you want Trump, Dems freak out. Say you want Harris, right freaks out and calls her a communist or whatever. It's just trolling bullshit.
It's purely to muddy the water. Much of disinformation relies on having just enough deniability so that those who have already taken the bait will continue to believe they are in the right. The real issue will be deprogramming those who have fallen for the disinformation.
Putin is just trolling
Congratulations, you’re the target. We all are. His intention is cause chaos.
He’s a crazy person.
It's probably just for him. He said it himself, he's addicted to power, and this is just an attempt to flex by trolling the world stage at this point.
The main goal of misinformation not to convince people of its truth, although that helps when it happens. It's to create enough noise to drown out signal and make people disengage. That cognitive dissonance is exhausting, and the exhaustion in turn makes other misinformation and law/norm-breaking easier to proliferate.
Remarkably similar to the way he grins while expressing regret for his critics who accidentally fall out of windows.
Lots of Russia news, it seems: The Uhuru III trial in Tampa, Florida, is also going on; those were for socialists and for Black empowerment, though.
"I said that our 'favorite,' if I may say so, was the incumbent President Mr. Biden. He was removed from the race, but he recommended that all his supporters support Ms. Harris. So we will do the same, we will support her," Putin said, smiling wryly at an economic forum in Vladivostok.
"It's not surprising that Putin said this with a smirk on his face, that is what he tends to do when engaging in the most blatant and overt trolling of American audiences," Giles said. "It is a burst of trolling, and he's done it before. We had the same excited reaction from some sections of U.S. and international media when he previously endorsed Biden, but of course it is meaningless. There is a clear preference from Russia because there is only one presidential candidate that is so much in favor of Russian interests and would be so inclined to pander to what Russia wants from Ukraine, from Europe, form the world and from the United States," Giles said, referring to former President Trump.
The Biden administration accused Russia on Wednesday of attempting to interfere in the November election, including by creating fake news sites designed to covertly spread Russian propoganda among Americans.
At a meeting of the Election Threats Task Force, which included FBI Director Chris Wray and other top officials in the Justice Department, Attorney General Merrick Garland said Russia Today, known as RT, a media outlet funded by the Russian state, had implemented a scheme to fund a Tennessee-based company to create and disseminate content that was consistent with Russia's goals of pushing division within U.S. society and undermining support for Ukraine.
Documents about another Russian campaign, called the "U.S. Social Media Influencers Project," described the Republican Party as "currently advancing a relatively pro-Russian agenda" that can be "exploited by posing as ardent [Republicans] and relaying the part of their agenda that coincides with ours."
In July, U.S. officials with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security indicated that Russia was working to boost Trump's candidacy in this election cycle, as it did in 2016 and 2020, though they did not directly name his campaign.
Smug little clown thinks he's funny.
Where's an open window when you need one... :-/
