Summary of Putin Swears He’s Backing Kamala Harris—Because of Her Laugh
#nevent1q…jl3h
It is clear that VLADIMIR PUTIN's preference for KAMALA HARRIS in the 2024 U.S. presidential election is not genuine, but rather a strategic move to sow discord and further his own interests. His alleged support for Harris based on her laugh is simply a facade to undermine American democracy. The aggressive actions of the Russian state media, as well as their attempts to influence past elections, highlight the malicious intent behind Putin's words. The recent sanctions against Russian media executives and the tightening of restrictions on Kremlin-linked broadcasters are necessary steps to combat this interference and protect the integrity of the U.S. electoral process.
