Former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Rebekah Koffler analyzes the Biden administration's foreign policy failures and explains why Vladimir Putin may prefer Kamala Harris as president over Donald Trump.
As the 2024 presidential election approaches, the geopolitical landscape is fraught with challenges and opportunities. One of the most pressing concerns is the potential impact of U.S. foreign policy on the world stage. Former defense intel officer Rebekah Koffler has analyzed the Biden administration's foreign policy failures and provided insights into why Vladimir Putin may prefer Kamala Harris as president over Donald Trump.
During his presidency, Trump pursued a firm anti-Russia policy, taking various actions to counter Moscow's anti-U.S. strategy. Among these measures were the establishment of the U.S. Space Force, authorization of offensive cyber operations against Russia, and the development of a low-yield nuclear missile. Trump's resolute stance and willingness to use military force if necessary posed a significant deterrent to Putin.

In contrast, the Biden-Harris administration has taken a more passive approach towards Russia. They canceled Trump's low-yield nuclear missile program, leaving the U.S. vulnerable to Putin's nuclear threats. Biden's diplomatic efforts have been largely ineffective, with Putin exploiting the perceived weakness of the administration to advance his own agenda.
Russian media has portrayed Harris as incompetent, inexperienced, and easily manipulated. Moscow believes that her potential presidency could lead to the transformation of America into a socialist system, which they see as beneficial to Russia's security interests.

Despite her perceived weaknesses, Harris has been a vocal critic of Putin, accusing him of brutality and responsibility for the death of Alexei Navalny. However, Russian analysts believe that her rhetoric will not deter Putin, who is accustomed to dealing with Western leaders who are quick to make threats but slow to act.
On the other hand, Putin is acutely aware of Trump's willingness to use military force to protect U.S. interests. Trump's actions in Syria and Iran, where he ordered the elimination of enemy forces, demonstrate his resolve to confronting threats.

As a seasoned negotiator, Trump is better equipped to handle Putin's aggressive bargaining style. Unlike Biden, who has burdened the U.S. with funding Ukraine's defense, Trump is likely to demand that NATO members share the financial responsibility for their security.
The choice between Trump and Harris is crucial for safeguarding American interests. Trump's strong stance against Russia, his willingness to use military force, and his negotiating skills make him the preferred candidate for countering Putin's plans to undermine the U.S. from within. Harris's perceived weaknesses and her administration's failed foreign policy approach would leave America vulnerable to further aggression from Moscow.
