Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

It's interesting that the Kremlin felt the need to confirm this. Why?
Putin frequently confirms or publicizes corrupt actions, when he knows nobody can do anything about them. It's part of the projection of power - not only can he act with impunity, but he can publicize it in various ways, and the fact that there will be no repercussions is itself a secondary assertion of power.
Similar to any US presidential candidate we know of?
Diversion tactic. Promote political ~~discourse~~ discord in US so Russia can continue their atrocities in Ukraine
Because it shows power to those that need to know.
As the top post says: Republicans denied it happening. They might as well have played a soccer ball to Putins feet even though they're supposed to play on opposite sides, and then wondering why he kicked it back in their face.
They did that to show that they are in control. They can get whatever they want from a republican and spit in their face afterwards, because some idiots in the GOP are under their control.
The Russian mobsters like to remind people of their reach like that.
Its the same reason why they keep confirming people falling out of windows with two suicidal bullets to the head and such. It's mobster whistles.
Are you joking?
You don't know why the Kremlin felt the need to brag that they own a former president of the United States?
IMO is because Russia is a pariah now. It’s the same rationale that made Putin endorse Harris.
It’s the same narrative “we, the GOP, are against Russia… see? Putin endorses Harris. See? They fabricated a lie that Trump gave tests to Russia. Because Russia is afraid of the GOP”
