Putin says Russia prefers Biden over Trump in U.S. Elections...
Reports came out of Congress this week that Russia is building out a capability that would violate a world space treaty to actually use nuclear weapons in space, to take out satellite communications. This has rankled some members of Congress while others are calling this just a sideshow, a distraction from other things that need to be talked about. But it really bears the question, how much should we be worrying about Russia and Vladimir Putin? If they have this capability, would they use it?

Hey, Phil, I listened to this because I was hoping you can help me make sense of things, and you just made it look exactly like what it is, which is a big mashup of craziness. And I'm such a layperson when it comes to understanding the deeper strategies of comments by Putin and by Trump and Tucker for that powder. Now that he's kind of trying to play ball, everyone looks like a fool. But the truth is that we're talking about very powerful people

And he know when Obama was in office, Fox News wanted to interview me all the time. And when Trump was in office, CNN wanted to interview me all the time and never vice versa. And it's because he's been consistent and he's had a consistent message. But one of the things he said, and maybe this will help make sense of a lot of things, is that he says, don't think of Putin and Russia as a country

It's difficult to definitively say what Putin's preferences are for sure. I mean, he's such a complex person. So is, well, I don't know how complex president, former President Trump is, but I do know that the complex geopolitical calculations of Putin regarding this phase. Right. That's kind of where, you know, some folks suggest that Putin prefer the Biden presidency because Trump is unpredictable. Trump's unpredictable nature, his tendency to challenge everything, to challenge the traditional alliances
