Henry Meyer and Ilya Arkhipov, Bloomberg: The Kremlin Is Increasingly Alarmed at the Prospect of a Biden Win
(Bloomberg) -- In Moscow, analysts for the Kremlin and its Security Council are working overtime to war-game scenarios for a Joe Biden presidency.
Increasingly alarmed at the prospect of a White House without Donald Trump, Russia is trying to determine what that’ll mean for sensitive issues from nuclear arms to relations with China, energy exports, sanctions and far-flung global conflicts, according to people familiar with the efforts. Though few see much prospect for improved ties if Trump is re-elected, Biden would likely be bad news for Russia, people close to the leadership said.
A Democratic victory may even give the Kremlin another reason to tear up its own electoral calendar, moving up parliamentary elections to the spring to get them out of the way before a new administration has time to impose additional sanctions or other penalties, according to a person close to the Kremlin, who spoke on condition of anonymity to express that opinion.

WNU Editor: The above Bloomberg commentators totally miss the reasons why the Kremlin is worried about a Biden Presidency. Instead, the above commentary is just a rehash of Russian interference claims in the 2016 Presidential campaign, and quoting anti-Putin sources to make a list and say that this is the reason why the Kremlin is worried about a Biden Presidency. It is not. So what is the real reason why the Kremlin is worried about a Biden Presidency? They see a candidate who is experiencing all of the signs of early dementia, and there is a very real possibility that this is the person who may become responsible for the country's nuclear launch codes. The number one priority for President Putin is the security of Russia. In a worst case scenario between the U.S. and Russia, they know that they can deal with President Trump to defuse the situation. Not so in a Biden Presidency. In a Biden Presidency the Kremlin will make the calculation that they are dealing with a person whose faculties are not all there, and because of that President Biden's response in a crisis situation may be irrational and/or emotional. Or worse .... they may be forced to deal with people behind President Biden who they may not even know. And you can take this to the bank. In the past the Kremlin always knew who in the White House they were dealing with, and they could game it out. Not so in a Biden Presidency. In a crisis who will they be dealing with? President Biden? Vice President Harris? President Biden's advisers and national security officials? No one knows.

Don't you dare to say Biden suffers from dementia and might be seen as a danger
He's on the left, which means he's perfect, a saint, and if he did some creepy stuff to women it doesn't count, and if he has shady dealings with China and Russia it doesn't count either!!!
Get it right! Lol
It could be argued that the Russians do not have to worry about demented Biden, since he won;t be making any decisions.
The worry is that he is a puppet for kingmakers unknown. How can you evaluate persons unknown and wargame it out? If these behind the scenes kingmakers screw up, they bow out, let Biden take the fall, jet off to a safer location.
In some of his more lucid moments Joe knows he is being used, but he is willing to be used to save hunter and squeeze out a little more graft for Klan Biden.
With all the mail in voter fraud, the Russians are screwed. You do not need to pick out a caskets. Everyone will be cremated. The lucky ones in the northern hemisphere anyway.

You're not that great at observation if you think Russia are 'worried' about this. I'm surprised you made such a comment. There isn't a big red button for him to press accidently during one of his dementia episodes.
I'm not a fan of Biden and I'm hoping for a Trump win - but that was a silly comment. If anything Russia would love an American president with dementia.
If they can "convince" 3 or 5 dozen FBI employees to use material from a suspected Russian spy to frame an American academy grad, who spied for America, and also go after General Flynn and Trump, they could convince the officer carrying the football to give it to Uncle Joe.
I do not consider that likely, but I would not expect 20 to 40 FBI agents at the highest level to be dirty.
Besides after all they have done, they could pick which officer carried the football.
How can I just kill a man ? Ser
Big wow
lol, Ronald Reagan, our last president with dementia, presided over the death of the Soviet Union, so I suppose they should be worried about that.
