Russian lawmakers want Putin to take advantage of Trump in the remaining weeks he’s in office.

Addressing Vladimir Putin on Russia’s premier television shows, lawmakers and pundits urged the Russian president to take advantage of the Kremlin’s outgoing asset in the White House.

Most experts unanimously agree that the presidency of Joe Biden will result in a slew of negative consequences for Putin’s Russia. The Kremlin’s refusal to recognize Biden as the president-elect was planned and discussed on Russian state television long before any legal challenges were raised by the Trump administration. This symbolic step is meant to demonstrate that Russia is still on Trump’s side, in order to extract some last-minute favors from the Kremlin’s favorite American president.

Disappointed by Trump’s defeat, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, said on Russian state TV show Sunday Evening with Vladimir Soloviev: “We could have interfered this fall, big time... If his [Trump’s] head worked better, he could have asked us to do this or that. And he would have won, along with us... If we need Trump, then let’s help him. Make him dependent on us, so we could milk him like a cow.”

1. Is this for real?

2. "leader of the Liberal Democratic Party"

Talk about duplicity.
RW parties do this all the time. In my neighbourhood, British Columbia, Canada, our conservative party pulled a coup on the Liberal Party, took it over, and did not change its name. Can't even be honest with its constituents. I think they do it to pull in more ignorant moderate voters who are fooled by their name.

In Oz, the Liberal Party is, ideologically, the conservative party.

15. Vlad the Russian isn't happy with Trump the Russian asset?

Too bad, so sad!

Whatever Trump does in the coming weeks, I'm sure (and hoping) Pres Biden can undo with some Executive Orders.
After all, Trump has shown how powerful these are . . .
