Although he probably has more entertaining conversations with Trump, Trump being coherent, Biden is the Deep State’s man. From Andrew Korybko at korybko.substack.com:
President Putin prefers Biden over Trump because: 1) Biden has the support of the “deep state’s” ruling liberal-globalists; 2) this faction is expected to remain in power even if Trump wins; and 3) they could carry out more anti-Russian provocations to discredit him in that case just like last time.
Most of the Mainstream Media and Alternative Media Community alike agree that President Putin’s preference for Biden over Trump is a “5D chess master plan” aimed at discrediting the incumbent due to his secret support for the Republican frontrunner. The Russian leader explained that “[Biden] is a more experienced and predictable person, he is a politician of the old sort.” He also defended his counterpart’s cognitive capabilities in a reiteration of the points that he made after their summer 2021 summit.
Even though Biden is formally overseeing NATO’s proxy war on Russia through Ukraine, which Trump has railed against since it began and claimed that he’d end right away if he returned to power, President Putin still prefers him to his opponent for several legitimate reasons. For starters, Biden is the figurehead of those powerful members of the permanent military, intelligence, and diplomatic bureaucracies (“deep state”) that really formulate and implement American policy, who support him while opposing Trump.
The ruling liberal–globalist faction’s decision to prioritize containing Russia over China obviously works against Moscow’s interests, unlike their conservative-nationalist rivals’ plans to prioritize China’s containment over Russia, but it’s precisely because of their power that they’re predictable. President Putin cautioned Russian strategic forecasters against indulging in wishful thinking in summer 2022, after which he admitted being naïve about the West a few months back in December.
