This is the best summary I could come up with:


The caustic tone from Sidorov and Solovyov provided a stark contrast with that of Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov that same evening, who had personified cool aloofness, saying that, with four months to go until the election, “much could still change.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin, Peskov has often suggested, has bigger things on his mind than the fracas among his political enemies overseas.

With Moscow in its third year of war against Ukraine, they have jumped on the chaos in the United States as an opportunity to frame Russia as superior to the West and distract from domestic problems.

Despite not having been officially nominated, Harris appears to have already been designated a prime target by Russia’s overwhelmingly white male propagandists.

“The entire deep state will be backing Harris,” Sergei Markov, an analyst with Kremlin ties wrote on his Telegram channel.

Instead, the state news agency ran with a comment from the aide of Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council who loves threatening the West with nuclear annihilation.


The original article contains 746 words, the summary contains 170 words. Saved 77%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

It’ll be so fun to watch them squirm when she wins.

I was VERY critical of Biden, before the debate, before the backing of Palestinian genocide. So i was very happy he stepped down, and am content with Kamala Harris. Russia can try all they want. There is nothing they could do to dissuade me at this point.

The Palestine thing unravelled my image of that man completely. I don’t have a vote or anything but he does claim to be “Irish” which grates on us no end over here, where most people are anti-genocide.

I’m skeptical as fuck that you are a real live irish 😑 anyone who is a real Irish American knows the only people who can point to Ireland on the map died in the potato famine. Awfully shady a real live Irish Irishman doesn’t know THAT about being irish😑😑😑 /s

But foreal I kid. Not even bashing Biden or anyone otherwise but I instantly assume someone’s dumb as fuck if they advertise where there their great great gramps used to fuck while they’re 3-4 generations deep in fuckin Jersey or something.

The only reason I commented tho is to ask, what are your opinions whe you catch random Americans giving you a good ole’ nationality hickey?

I mean everywhere you look you can get ancestry history test but I have yet to see a single one at st. Patties day parade, Dingus day, Cinco de mayo, boxing day. If I never have the proof of purchase of where I come from, can I just make shit up? or is that too anti-cultural mis-inappropriation nowadays?

They could dissuade you before? You probably shouldn’t be listening to the Russians regardless of who the nominee is…

Biden was providing the reasons to not vote for him all by himself, he didn’t need any help from the Russians. But its not a worry now so what ever.

Deliberately taking the most negative misinterpretation of what was said. It almost feels like Reddit again.

Funny fact: when Russian government hates someone, that’s probably a decent person.

Don’t forget them commenting that Ukraine “can’t stop begging for money”. Can’t be too transparent about wanting to fellate Putin, you know.

Wow, you weren’t kidding. Random characters for a name and created just for that comment. Where’s that Charlie conspiracy meme when you need it.

Or it means that the opposite is on Russia payroll. Also both can be true at the same time.

I love how they poo-poo away the idea that their illegal invasion of Ukraine and future is going to be decided by an American election, lol.

I look forward to her and Ukraine winning both their wars.

If the Russians are hating it, it must be good.
