Putin jokes that Russia will meddle in 2020 US elections
CNN ^ | 10 02 2019 | Nathan Hodge, Olga Pavlova and Mary Ilyushina

Russian President Vladimir Putin poked fun at the ongoing political crisis in the US by joking about election meddling Wednesday.

When asked about concerns the Russia might interfere in the 2020 US elections, he replied: "I'll tell you a secret: Yes, we'll definitely do it," Putin said. "Just don't tell anyone," he added, in a stage whisper. Putin was appearing on a panel at Russian Energy Week, along with OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo and others.

"You know, we have enough of our own problems," Putin continued. "We are engaged in resolving internal problems and are primarily focused on this."

Trump still trolls better but nice try by Vlad.

Only the East German judge gives it a 10.

As much as the Kenyan from Indonesia meddled in other country’s elections (not to mention ours), how come nobody ever talked or talks about that?

He did more election meddling during his usurpation than anyone in recent memory.

OF COURSE, the Russians will meddle in the US elections. They have ever since about 1920, the first US election after they took over control of Imperial Russia from the Czar, and hammered out the Soviet Union. They were particularly successful in 1932, when a hated Republican, Herbert Hoover, was deposed by FDR, one of the greatest allies the Soviet Union and Stalin ever had.

At some level, Russians have put their finger in the pie in the mid-terms as well, and while not exactly an ally, George Soros has been carrying water for the Russians for quite a while. It it not entirely true that “the enemy of my enemy is my friend”, there are very few three-cornered conflicts in the history of the world, where each party is attacking or defending against each of the other parties on both sides.

I know some Russians, and apparently all Russians find the whole thing laughably ludicrous.
