“[Biden] is a more experienced, predictable person. He is a politician of the old school. But we will work with any leader of the United States, who is trusted by the American people,” Putin said in an interview on broadcaster Rossiya 1 TV when asked to choose between the two.
Putin is even pushing the lefts propaganda that Biden is 'sharp'.
Putin used Wednesday’s interview to downplay speculation about Biden’s cognitive health, recalling when the two met in Switzerland in June 2021, less than a year before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
“When I met with Biden in Switzerland — it was, indeed, a few years ago, three years — even then there were talks about him being incompetent. I saw nothing of the sort. Yes, he glanced at his notes. Honestly, I glanced at mine too,” Putin said. “There’s nothing to it.”
Do you support the preferred candidate of communists in Russia and in the Democrat party or do you want to make America great again?

Putin also is not a communist, and the Communist Party of Russia has a pretty negative view of him. I am not sure how you came up with the idea that he expresses the opinion of Russian communists. From what I know, the Russian communists generally support Trump who they see as showing to the whole world what is wrong with capitalism.

I recognize what you are saying. Putin is distinct from communism, though he has a good relationship with the Communist party leader. Putin, much like Trump in ways, is a personality driven individual. But how does one delineate the murdering done by/for Putin vs the murdering done by/for Communism in Russia?

1) In no quote in the article "Putin refers to himself as a Marxist-Leninist".
2) No quote suggests that Putin "believes the writings of Mao Zedong..."
Here is what the article actually says:
You know, I keep cutting you slack - but maybe I should stop. You are very careless with how you read pretty much anything: what articles say, what other debaters say... It is just not interesting to debate with someone who demonstrates such neglect for truth.
Now, I happen to have lived under Putin's regime for a decade and a half, and I can read his original words. Here is a good example of his actual attitude towards Marxism-Leninism (from 1991):
I will freely translate this for your convenience:
"My approach is that history is to be treated as something that happened. And it cannot be thrown out. However, if you are curious about my attitude towards this man [Vladimir Lenin] and his ideology, I would say this: there was a period in my life when I was interested in Marxism-Leninism and read a lot. I found it interesting and often logical. However, as I grew up and matured, it was becoming increasingly clear to me that all of this is no more than a beautiful and harmful fantasy. Harmful because the attempt to put it in practice in our country brought incredible amount of damage. I would like to add a couple of words about the tragedy which we are going through today, specifically the tragedy of our country's collapse. It cannot be called anything other than tragedy. I think that exactly the leaders of the October Revolution planted a ticking bomb under this structure, the structure of an unitary state that was called Russia. Because what did they do? They split our motherland into individual republics that used to not even appear on the map. And gave those republics states and parliaments. So now we have what we have."

The China - Russia link is explained here.
You are correct that the quote from Zedong did come from the NE article. So?

I do not have that many, honestly: I was born when the Soviet Union was mostly just two words on the map, not something that one would call a viable state.
What is for certain is that Putin is not a communist, even though he might be sympathetic for some of its ideas - much like I am not a Buddhist, even though I like its concept of "letting go".
A relevant quote from here https://www.dw.com/ru/%D0%BF%D1%83%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%BD-%D1%81%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BB-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BC%D1%83%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D1%83%D1%8E-%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8E-%D1%81-%D1%85%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B0%D0%BD%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%BC/a-42142511 Translate it at your own risk: the comparison in question is not one you will like.
There is almost no evidence of Putin having warm feelings towards Mao Zedong or his teachings: the article you referenced merely said that "Mao Zedong, whom Putin surely read, wrote..." First, "surely read" is something that a person not familiar with Russia would say, for a lot of Russians have read Lenin's works, but Mao's books are barely read by anyone outside China (I have never seen Mao's books in any bookstore, while Lenin's and even Stalin's works are commonplace). Second, reading someone does not imply believing in them. I have read a book by Mussolini - do I now believe in fascism?
Look, there are valid arguments to be made in favor of Putin wanting Biden to win the election because of his frailty. There is no need to resort to this kind of fact-twisting.

I dont think that Biden is bad. he has heaps of experience. I just think that Trump is a better man for the job because he is a doer and cant do much more than what the administration will let him. Regan got things done because he was a good administrator and Trump gets things done because he will always stick his neck out and take the risk.

I would say that if Putin is supporting Biden and with the elections coming Trump better watch what hes eating and he should definitely not go near the Novichok Cookies.
