‘Milk Him Like a Cow’: Russian State Media Mulls How to Take Advantage of Trump Before He’s Gone

Russian lawmakers want Putin to take advantage of Trump in the remaining weeks he’s in office.

"Addressing Vladimir Putin on Russia’s premier television shows, lawmakers and pundits urged the Russian president to take advantage of the Kremlin’s outgoing asset in the White House.

Most experts unanimously agree that the presidency of Joe Biden will result in a slew of negative consequences for Putin’s Russia. The Kremlin’s refusal to recognize Biden as the president-elect was planned and discussed on Russian state television long before any legal challenges were raised by the Trump administration. This symbolic step is meant to demonstrate that Russia is still on Trump’s side, in order to extract some last-minute favors from the Kremlin’s favorite American president.

Disappointed by Trump’s defeat, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, said on Russian state TV show Sunday Evening with Vladimir Soloviev: “We could have interfered this fall, big time... If his [Trump’s] head worked better, he could have asked us to do this or that. And he would have won, along with us... If we need Trump, then let’s help him. Make him dependent on us, so we could milk him like a cow.”

Zhirinovsky opined that Trump is a businessman and a showman, but lacks political will that could come from Russia, as a deciding external force. “We can help him stay in power,” Zhirinovsky argued. He pointed out that Trump still has 72 days to undertake a number of actions that benefit Russia, including the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, as well as the lifting of sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project between Russia and Germany. He bitterly complained that Trump “didn’t come through on any of his promises that would have been to our advantage.”

In an interview with Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, the historian Valery Garbuzov, director of the Institute of U.S. and Canadian Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, pointed out: “Trump has played a cruel joke on Russian political elites. In 2016, Russia placed a bet on Trump. I don’t know what our top officials were thinking. But they made a major miscalculation... It’s time for our elites to sober up...”

Contrary to the Kremlin’s half-hearted denials, Russia did interfere in the U.S. elections in 2020, but its amplification of anti-Biden smears fell on deaf ears. Garbuzov noted that attacks on Biden turned out to be ineffective, overestimated, and petty. Russian pundits and experts on various state TV shows grimly noted that resistance to information warfare in the United States has risen to higher levels, with most of the media having learned much from the missteps of 2016."

I would hope so! Maybe it will be a catalyst - the one good thing from Trump!

Dang, so close to going the other way - knifes edge. I won't feel 100% until he's escorted out/leaves office though. And even then, we have tens of thousands of entitled Trump cultists hurt and frustrated during a pandemic.

OMG! This is FAKE PROPAGANDA!

Russia is a great, totally democratic country, with a great leader who's totally nice.

Listening to Zhirinovsky talk foreign policy is like listening to Rush Limbaugh. Zhirinovsky pulls about 5% of the vote- just above the minimum to grant him a seat in the Duma. Even Zhirinovsky is pissed off that the Kremlin doesn't listen to him.

Leave it to CAPTNMUSH to present less than half the truth to support a lie.

MOSCOW — Vladimir V. Zhirinovsky, Russia’s septuagenarian nationalist firebrand, long functioned as a safety valve for public discontent, corralling protest votes but then supporting President Vladimir V. Putin at key junctures.

Now, he says, the Kremlin treats his party “like idiots.”

“Go out on the field and play,” he says his party is told, “but don’t score any goals.”

No, son, all I had to do was "copy-paste" Zhirinisovky's name into Duckduckgo, and all of this popped right up. Even the NYT knows more about him than CAPTNMUSH does, an that's saying something!

I never trust what CAPTNMUSH posts, just like I never trust what YOU post, so I always look for verification to see if what either of you post has any basis in reality.

And CAPTNMUSH did not disapppoint my expectations, since he lies most of the time, just like you.

Where? When?
Quote:

This reminds me very much of the disinfo piece "Trump intends to barricade himself in the White House" that CAPTNMUSH posted earlier, with slew after slew of entirely unsourced allegations, without even the figleaf of "anonymous sources". It's like they, yanno, just made up schiess whole cloth.

Quote:

Disappointed by Trump’s defeat, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, said on Russian state TV show Sunday Evening with Vladimir Soloviev: “We could have interfered this fall, big time... If his [Trump’s] head worked better, he could have asked us to do this or that. And he would have won, along with us... If we need Trump, then let’s help him. Make him dependent on us, so we could milk him like a cow.”

Zhirinovsky opined that Trump is a businessman and a showman, but lacks political will that could come from Russia, as a deciding external force. “We can help him stay in power,” Zhirinovsky argued. He pointed out that Trump still has 72 days to undertake a number of actions that benefit Russia, including the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Afghanistan, Syria, and Iraq, as well as the lifting of sanctions against the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline project between Russia and Germany. He bitterly complained that Trump “didn’t come through on any of his promises that would have been to our advantage.”

In an interview with Russian tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda, the historian Valery Garbuzov, director of the Institute of U.S. and Canadian Studies at the Russian Academy of Sciences, pointed out: “Trump has played a cruel joke on Russian political elites. In 2016, Russia placed a bet on Trump. I don’t know what our top officials were thinking. But they made a major miscalculation... It’s time for our elites to sober up...”

Nothing in their about "milking him like a cow", is there?

Quote:

Contrary to the Kremlin’s half-hearted denials, Russia did interfere in the U.S. elections in 2020, but its amplification of anti-Biden smears fell on deaf ears. Garbuzov noted that attacks on Biden turned out to be ineffective, overestimated, and petty. Russian pundits and experts on various state TV shows grimly noted that resistance to information warfare in the United States has risen to higher levels, with most of the media having learned much from the missteps of 2016."


So, out of all of these Russian pundits and experts who are on all sorts of channels, they can only find Zhirinovsky to quote? And apparently everyone ... even the NYT and Wikipedia ... knows that Zhirinosvsky is a nutter like REAVERBOT who says outrageous things that nobody pays attention to? And for their second quote they grab somebody quoted in a tabloid who says nothing provocative at all?

This is one way to tell disinfo... there is little to no sourcing. The "who, what, when, where, and why" of a real news article is missing. The most provocative statement is plastered as a headline.

Really, if you want to be robustly innoculated against disinfo from ANY side, you need to pay attention to what you're reading, and see if it has any basis in fact. You don't see me quoting Trump, do you?

Same reason I don't quote CAPTNMUSH, SECOND, and REAVERBOT.

CAPTNMUSH does this for a living. He's an internet "influencer" and given how smoothly he lies on the topic of politics he's prolly paid by the DNC.

The only topic he has ANY genuine personal interest in is Covid-19, and that's prolly because he's gay and living with HIV.
