In a recent interview with Russian state television, President Vladimir Putin expressed his preference for President Joe Biden to win a second term.

Putin described Biden as more experienced and predictable compared to former President Donald Trump. This revelation raises questions about Russia's motivations and strategy when it comes to dealing with the United States.

Putin emphasized that regardless of who is elected, Russia will work with any U.S. leader chosen by the American people. However, his clear preference for Biden indicates that Russia sees potential advantages in having a weaker adversary in the White House.

By characterizing Biden as a politician of the "old formation," Putin likely believes that he can anticipate and navigate Biden's actions more effectively.

When asked about speculation regarding Biden's health issues, Putin declined to comment, stating that he is not a doctor.

However, he acknowledged that discussions about Biden's health have intensified as the U.S. election campaign gains momentum. It is worth noting that these concerns have been raised by individuals outside of Russia as well, underscoring the significance of Biden's age and memory in the political discourse.

In another part of the interview, Putin mentioned his impressions from his recent interview with former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Putin admitted that he expected Carlson to be more aggressive in his questioning. He had hoped for a chance to respond sharply and push his narrative on the situation in Ukraine. This highlights Putin's calculated approach to media appearances, using them as platforms to advance his agenda and shape public opinion.

Putin's preference for Biden should not be taken lightly. It reveals Russia's strategic calculations and highlights the importance of having a leader in the White House who will prioritize American interests and maintain a strong position on the international stage.
