    Reverse psychology? Is he trying to make libs think that Biden has been compromised by Russia, therefore Trump wins, which is actually what Putin wants?

      or and here me out here, he is not lieing? just maybe, like you are doing lots of mental gymnastics to get to the point of he is lieing for reverse phycology and doing like a tripple bluff, when accams razer would sugest it is just he means what he says.

      Note in no way am I pro Trump … nor do I want trump to win.

        It doesn’t exactly take mental gymnastics to think Putin might lie about something if he thinks it’ll give him an advantage.

          Agian I ask of Trudeau made the same claim, or the Prime Minister of New Zeeland, would you be making the same argument

            I’m honestly not sure what you’re arguing for. All politicians lie constantly. I’m sure the ones you named also lie frequently. It’s all just mind games to confuse people during a war.

              1. this does not answer the question.
              2. do all politicians lie? is this like a universal truth of the universe? do they have to lie?

                  Agian, is this a universal truth or just in the US system or Liberal democratic system, is it not possible (and I am not saying the Russian Federation is this system I am now asking in hypotheticals) where that would not be the case

    A former CIA officer basically argued the same thing back in 2022

    The timing of the Ukraine hostilities, Koffler said, was because Russians assessed President Biden as more predictable than former President Trump. They feared Trump because of “his unpredictability and the disconnect between his words and actions. So, it is possible that Putin would’ve waited if Trump were in office, because he just couldn’t predict what Trump would do.”
