...

VLADIMIR PUTIN: Well even now, I believe that former US president Mr. Trump is an extraordinary individual talented individual, otherwise he would not have become US President. He is a colorful individual. You may like him or not. And, but he didn't come from the U.S. establishment.

He had not been part of big time politics before, and some like it some don’t like it but that is a fact. .... President Biden, of course, is radically different from Trump because President Biden is a career man. He has spent virtually his entire adulthood in politics.

He has been doing it for a great deal of years and I have already said that and that is an obvious fact. Just think of the number of years he spent in the Senate, and how many years he was involved in the matters of international politics and disarmament, virtually at the expert level.

Quite long and worth the read.

Simmons doesn't do well,:

KEIR SIMMONS: —a direct question? Did you order Alexei Navalny's assassination?

VLADIMIR PUTIN: Of course not. We don't have this kind of habit, of assassinating anybody. That's one. Number two is I want to ask you: Did you order the assassination of the woman who walked into the Congress and who was shot and killed by a policeman? (Ashli Babbit) Do you know that 450 individuals were arrested after entering the Congress? And they didn't go there to steal a laptop. They came with political demands. 450 people—

KEIR SIMMONS: You're talking about the Capitol riot.

VLADIMIR PUTIN: —have been detained. They're facing— they're looking— they're— they're looking at jail time, between 15 and 25 years. And they came to the Congress with political demands. Isn't that persecution for political opinions? Some have been accused of plotting to topple— to take over-government power. Some are accused of— robbery. They didn't go there to rob.

The rest of the world knows what real insurgency looks like. It isn’t a guy with facepaint and a buffalo lodge hat.

America’s “moral high ground” has been reduced to rubble by what the Democrats are doing.

Journalists should tread lightly when engaging heads of state so as not to ignite international incidents.

Why don’t they take this same tone with China?

He stays on point dismissing NBC:

>> this is just — plain fiction. This is just — fake news. At the very least, I don’t know anything about this kind of thing.

Mr. Putin lands a nice jab.

I seem to remember, Mr. Trump once saying, when asked about Mr. Putin as an adversary versus the democrats, “well, at least he loves his country...”

Communist China OWNS US "Journalists" in addition to the Biden Family.

>>KEIR SIMMONS: President Biden wants predictability and stability. Is that what you want?

>>VLADIMIR PUTIN: Well, these are the most important things. This is the most important thing. This is the most important value, if you will, in international affairs.

>>KEIR SIMMONS: s — sorry to interrupt you. But he would say that you have caused a lot of instability and unpredictability.

>>VLADIMIR PUTIN: Well, he says one thing. I say another thing.


It wasn’t Trump who brought instability and unpredictability.

last year the Communists/Left/Globalists aligned to cause massive instability. Riots. Impeachments. Pandemic. Lockdowns. Prohibited some protests. Promoted other protests. Businesses burned. Businesses forced to close by governors and mayors with no compensatio.

>> The U.S. intelligence community says Russia interfered with the 2016 Election.

The US “intelligence community” was run by former Communists engaging in hanky panky, planting fake news stories, spreading rumors about a golden shower video, and illeglly spying on the Trump campaign with falsified FISA warrants.

>>Cybersecurity researchers said government hackers targeted COVID vaccine researchers, hacking for COVID vaccines.

China on the otherhand spied in America upon medical centers and research departments at universities.

>>(K) The late John McCain— in Congress called you a killer. When President Trump was asked— was told that you are a killer, he didn't deny it. When President Biden was asked whether he believes you are a killer, he said, "I do." Mr. President, are you a killer?

I challenge Keir Simmons to take this same bulldog approach to Hillary Clinton for an interview.

>>(P) "What kind of stability and predictability— could there be there if we remember the 2011 events in Libya where the country was essentially taken apart, broken down?" (from earlier in the interview)
