Putin is playing games with US electors

So Putin likes Kamala Harris's laugh. He thinks it's infectious and is one of the reasons why he says he hopes she will win the election in November. Somehow I doubt whether Putin's opinion of Harris or Trump will make any difference to the way Americans vote. But it does show that Putin is becoming more and more relaxed and confident with his presence on the world stage. And, the war in Ukraine is going his way right now. He has studiously avoided doing what the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, had hoped would happen which was to force him to transfer thousands of troops from eastern Ukraine to take on the Kyiv invasion force which is currently spreading its wings in the Russian province of Kursk. Putin has made it clear he is not that bothered by the Ukrainian incursion and will sort it out another way. Meantime Russian troops are making real headway in eastern Ukraine and could seize the strategic town of Pokrovsk any day. So while he is satisfied about his campaign in eastern Ukraine, he has found time to joke about the US election and praise Kamala for her laugh, the samer laugh which Donald Trump says makes her sound like a crazy woman. Putin would probably like Kamala to win because Trump, while a fan of his as a strong dictator, is more likely to try and push him around over Ukraine. If Kamala has any sense she should laugh in Putin's face.
