Russia perceives U.S. Democratic presidential contender Kamala Harris as a more predictable rival compared to Republican Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that relations with Washington are unlikely to improve regardless of who wins the election.
During an interview with Pavel Zarubin, a TV journalist with close Kremlin connections, Peskov seemed to brush off Trump’s claim that he could resolve the Ukraine conflict within a day if re-elected.
Before Joe Biden’s withdrawal from the race and endorsement of Harris, Russian President Vladimir Putin had expressed a preference for Biden over Trump, labeling Biden as a seasoned, “old school” politician.
With Biden no longer a candidate, Zarubin jokingly asked Peskov, “So, who is our candidate now?”
Peskov, also laughing, responded, “We have no candidate. But, of course, the Democrats are more predictable. And what Putin said about Biden’s predictability applies to almost all Democrats, including Ms. Harris.”
Although both Putin and Peskov have remarked that the election is a domestic U.S. affair, they have shared various opinions at different times. For instance, in February, Putin lauded Biden’s predictability but also touched on the delicate issue of Biden’s mental fitness, seemingly intending to stir controversy.
In June, Putin stated that Russia had no preference for the next U.S. president, but he noted that the U.S. judicial system appeared to be weaponized against Trump.
In the interview published on Sunday, Peskov criticized U.S. actions that he claimed have overstepped acceptable boundaries in harming Russia’s interests. He described bilateral relations as being at an all-time low, with no current prospects for recovery.
Peskov also remarked that there was no “magic wand” capable of swiftly resolving the Ukraine situation as Trump had suggested.
He labeled it “fantasy” to believe that the incoming U.S. president would declare in their inauguration address a cessation of military aid to Ukraine and a call for peace talks, expecting such a move to alter attitudes in Kyiv.

Australia Government Using TikTok To Give Account Warnings To Those Who Mention Donald Trump
“Because the Australian government knows that the Australian people are now turning against them, and we no longer listen to their nonsense that they feed us on TV. I haven’t watched TV in 3 years now. I have absolutely no interest. But TikTok is suppressing people. I have thousands and thousands of comments that are deleted on every single post. Like I said, about 80% now of my post have been deleted.”
Hey, coming from the Kremlin, you now can be certain which way not to vote! Their new ally, the Ferd from North Korea will likely soon also “weigh” in. Fat boy doesn’t like Trump even though the latter describes the Ferd as his good friend!
“Predictable” in this context means, pushover
Translation: They know that Ms. Harris is one of theirs and that Mr. Trump will call a spade a spade.
