Russia’s Putin Claims Charges Against Trump Are Simple ‘Political Persecution’

One does not have to be a Trump ally or even like him very much to recognize the magnitude of the injustice being waged on him.

So much so that a fierce adversary of Americans just made this exact public admission.

Russian President Vladimir Putin was speaking about the cultural and economic development of the Far East in his address to the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF), but he was also outlining goals and discussing challenges for the near and distant future of Russia.

Sputnik reported:

“Moving on to the issue of the 2024 presidential election in the United States, Russia’s leader was of the opinion that they will not change in Washington’s policy towards Moscow.

‘I think that there will be no fundamental changes in the Russian direction in US foreign policy, no matter who is elected president’, Putin said, adding that Moscow is not aware who will be elected, in a nod at the since-debunked claims of the Trump-Russia collusion ahead of 2016 elections.

The Russian President also said that accusations against ex-President Donald Trump regarding his alleged ‘ties’ with Moscow are ‘complete nonsense’.

‘As for the prosecution of Trump… for us, what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good, because it shows how rotten the American political system is… All that’s happening with Trump is political persecution of a political rival’, Putin said.”

Putin was asked about the fact that Trump always praised his good relations with Putin and claimed more recently he could resolve the Ukraine war in a matter of days if he regains the presidency.

Al Jazeera reported:

“’We hear Mr Trump say he will solve pressing problems in a few days, including the Ukrainian crisis. Well, this cannot but bring happiness. This is good’, Putin said.

But he said the idea Trump had special ties with Russia was ‘complete nonsense’.

However, Putin reiterated that Russia’s relations with the US are unlikely to change regardless of who leads the country.

‘What to expect from the future, no matter who the president is, it’s hard for us to say, but it’s unlikely that anything will change radically’, Putin said.”

Putin noted that, by and large, Russians are not interested in who will take this post there. It was mostly Trump, he argued, who introduced more sanctions against Russia.

Our Zeepers are largely #NeverTrumps, so they’ll have no problem condemning The Putin.

Putin would know a political persecution when he sees one. Myself, I defer to his lifetime of experience with this sort of thing.

If anyone would know anything about political persecution it would be Putin.

Putin is right about this, not that it’s any of his effin’ business.

Oh, and he’s still an evil, warmonging, Nazi dictator and international war criminal. That will never change, but go ahead and grasp at straws to defend him. Makes you look desperate.

MAGA oil=Putin & Iran back to the poor house, unable to substantively threaten anyone.

At least the 8 billion people on Earth can have a little chuckle about Slo Joe.

Seriously though Putin is only pointing out the obvious.

You're Biden with Putin.

Everything you think is true of Russia is definitely true of Ukraine and more true of us under Biden.

Nazis? That is what the Russians have been eliminating Ukraine. Ukraine was the epicenter of neo-Nazism and we were training and funding the neo-Nazis.

You need a fire lit under your ass to the point you care more about the tyranny in our country than you do about your paranoid misconceptions about Russia.

Right on cue, the Putler crowd suddenly drags Biden into the issue. And heaps on more lies about imaginary Nazis.

Desperate and pathetic.

Light your own fire, Vatnik.

I thought the USA was a “beacon of democracy, a shining city on a hill”.

Our standards are better than Russia’s (unless there’s a vast amount of slush funds for U.S. pols tied to foreign involvement, which Trump wants to end, and hence, is being persecuted).

Kind of like Stalin offering praise to FDR.

Strange how it took Russia invading for people to conveniently forget years of reporting about the widespread presence of neo-Nazis in Ukraine...

Not sure this will help Trump, LOL, considering the Dems claim he’s a Russian puppet. Maybe that’s what Pooty-Poot had in mind.

Some sins (brutally invading another country and causing mayhem and misery) outweigh others (having a repugnant ideological and political view).

Actions speak louder than words. And Putin’s actions are demonic.
