I'm not clear what you're arguing against, but you seem to be making an argument about a previous election and not a future one.

Do you believe that Russia benefits equally from the election of either candidate this time around?

Do you believe that's a meaningful metric? Because it's not.

The distinction between Biden and Trump is that Trump is opposed to the machine that's been responsible for decades of disastrous foreign policy, while Biden is the face of that very same machine.

Putin is far from the only foreign leader who would prefer Trump. It's silly to attempt this framing.

I mean, sorry if you're one of those "electricians on the Death Star" just trying to pay your mortgage, but your downvotes aren't going to put that toothpaste back in the tube.

Kim Jong-Un and Xi Jinping would prefer Trump as well.
