If you saw only a headline of this, it might read “Putin Backs Kamala Harris in 2024 Election.”

Of course that would be problematic considering on the very day he spoke the words we saw Mockingbird flapping its wings in their familiar, tired way. It’s the headline below that matters here, but I did want to leave Professor Patriot’s addition just for an added layer of thought.

The idea that there are people out there, even inside my circle, that will believe that after all we’ve been through with this decade-long RussiaRussiaRussia nonsense is pathetic and frightening.

But anyway, the words Putin spoke do zero justice to the whole point of what he was saying and more importantly, how he said it. Note his wry grin the whole time–as much of a smile as you’ll ever see from him–the smile on the interviewer’s face, the laughter of the crowd.

If that doesn’t do it for you, take note of what he says at the end about Harris’s laugh.

All so complimentary.

This is a troll, a pretty funny one if you can get past the Putin-boogeyman hang-up. And no less, it comes right at the same time as the release of the Mockingbird headline telling Americans to get ready for Russia to help Trump win.

I explored the Putin question at length back in February and invite you to peruse those articles again, especially if your initial reaction back then was impacted by decades of Cold War distrust of Russia. There are truths coming out now, ever so slowly, about who actually was behind Soviet Russia and the Bolshevik Revolution. There are more dots to connect now. But as RFK Jr said the other day, this type of information dissemination must happen at a certain pace and with certain timing.

In one of those articles I show Putin point blank stating that he would be able to work with Trump better because there is mutual respect there. I watched that whole Tucker Carlson interview in February. I follow many of the things he says and decrees in press conferences. Putin doesn’t respect Biden or the Dems, I assure you. Just look at the cultural values he espouses in contrast to ours–it’s more traditional and conservative than Trump’s.

This is politics. This is information war. Don’t believe the headlines. Dig a little into what actually happens with these stories, and if you can, share a chuckle with a Russian at the Dems’ expense here….

May everyone named directly or referenced indirectly ask forgiveness and do penance for their sins against America and God. I fight this information war in the spirit of justice and love for the innocent, but I have been reminded of the need for mercy and prayers for our enemies. I am a sinner in need of redemption as well after all, for my sins are many. In the words of Jesus Christ himself, Lord forgive us all, for we know not what we do.
