MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday he had noted what he called harsh anti-Russian rhetoric from U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, but that he had been encouraged by Biden’s comments on arms control.
Putin, who said Russia would work with any U.S. president, made the comments during an appearance on state television.
Biden is campaigning against Republican incumbent Donald Trump for the presidential election on Nov. 3.
“As far as the candidate from the Democratic Party is concerned ... we also see quite sharp anti-Russian rhetoric. Unfortunately, we are used to to this,” Putin said.

Update: Putin comments on Biden's 'sharp anti-Russian rhetoric' (The Hill)
WNU Editor: The sentiment that I am getting from my contacts in Russia and from what I am reading and watching in the Russian news media is that the Kremlin is getting ready for a Biden Presidency. They see this development as both a plus and a minus. On the one hand a Biden Presidency is committed to imposing restrictions on US fracking and oil/gas production that will result in higher energy prices and a boost in revenues for the Russian government. A Democrat administration may also limit the defense budget. On the other-hand there will be an increase in tensions between the US and Russia over disputes like Ukraine, Libya, and Syria. I also do not believe there will be any breakthroughs on arms control with a Biden administration, contrary to the above Reuters reporting.

What trip do you Ivans have to say today? Or are busy eating dinner right now?
The Russians are making the same mistake as the Democrats. They are not dynamically scoring. Any shutdown on fracking may be resisted slowing its effects. Any successful shutdwon will start tanking the economy ahead of 2024.
Personally, I think we should adhere to the Paris Accord Targets. A Dutch court ruled that to meet the targets the Dutch government could violate human riots. The target is 25% less CO2 than emitted in 1990.
Most CO2 is emitted in the Northeastern seaboard. I think it is go time people. Shutdown the gas and oil pipelines to the north east after November 3rd. It will be a Biden Christmas gift.
We will not have to worry about COVID. People will freeze to death or be so worn down the common cold will kill them. Next year housing prices will be cheap.
This is not a great leap in logic. It is the next logical step. Activists have been fighting new gas pipelines into the North East for decades. So go the next step. Turn the valves shut on the ones already in existence.
