Harris Wins Big in the Eyes of Putin - But at What Cost to the US?
Table of Contents
The Kremlin's state media machine has unleashed a barrage of praise for Kamala Harris, with one commentator declaring her performance 'masterly' and a clear winner over Donald Trump. But behind the rhetoric, a more sinister motive may be at play. Russia's propaganda machine has long been known for its ability to sow discord and division within enemy nations, and it seems that Harris' debate performance has played right into their hands.
Praising Harris, but Bashing America
Russian state media outlets such as RT and Sputnik have been quick to praise Harris' performance, but not for her policies or leadership style. Instead, they have focused on her perceived 'win' over Trump, and used this as an opportunity to denigrate the United States and its institutions.
Using Divisiveness to Advance Russia's Agenda
Experts warn that this kind of propaganda is not just about praising Harris - it's about creating divisions within American society. By pitting Harris against Trump, Russia's propaganda machine is hoping to create a sense of chaos and uncertainty that will make it easier to advance their own agenda.
The Real Winner: Putin
So who's the real winner here? While Harris may have come out on top in the debate, it's clear that Putin's propaganda machine has achieved its main objective: to create divisions and sow discord within the United States. This is a victory for Russia, and a lose-lose for America.
As the US continues to grapple with the aftermath of the debate, one thing is clear: the Russian propaganda machine is already hard at work, using every tool at its disposal to create more chaos and division. It's up to American leaders to recognize this threat and take action to stop it.
