Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday described legal proceedings against former US president Donald Trump as “politically motivated persecution.”
The Kremlin, seen has having friendly relations with Trump, has repeatedly spoken out in defence of the former president, who is facing a series of charges linked to election interference.
“As for the persecution of Trump, for us, in the current environment, it’s good because it shows the rottenness of the American system,” Putin said at an economic forum in the Far East.
“It is a politically motivated persecution of one’s competitor.”
Putin, who served in the Soviet security services, added: “And this shows who we are fighting … As they said in Soviet times: ‘the bestial face of American capitalism.'”
Relations between Washington and Moscow, strained by a litany of issues under Putin, have hit new lows since the Kremlin launched large-scale hostilities in Ukraine.
Putin said he did not expect any change in US foreign policy stance towards Russia regardless of “whoever will be elected president” next year.

why? He’s right...
Why don’t you make a giant poster saying that? Put it outside the CIA, the white house, and the pentagon.
If there is anyone who is an expert on ‘politically motivated persecution’, it's Vlad.
Kommisar Josef Stalin Biden is following through with his promise "to fundamentally change America". Welcome to the New Banana Republic!
Kudos for a clever retort.
What about Biden, though? I haven’t seen such a list for him.
LOL!
Did he also note that water is wet?
Not that long ago maybe a year, there was a statement by Putin posted on here where he called out the United States for the way it was treating J6 protestors or whatever ( my memory sucks and I blame nicotine gum) and he actually offered asylum the politically persecuted in the United States. Pretty wild.
Maybe.
But if the Clintons were Putin, Trump would be dead. And not with a double-tap headshot suicide. Like blown up dead.
It’s yet another wingnut attempt to link Trump with Putin. It’s telling that the VERY next sentence adds conjecture and projection about Putin “seen has having friendly relations with Trump.”
Everyone, including the Dems themselves, knows that these are political prosecutions. What’s the purpose of even asking Putin such a question, it it’s not to get a response to stoke the delirious Russian collusion narrative?
I wonder what makes him think there will be no change no matter who is elected next term.
Putin IS an expert on political persecution.
Was the asylum location in Novosibirsk?
Ukraine, and Ukrainians, HATE Trump. They know he’ll cut off their never ending supply of $$$.
Real leader, unlike globalist scum and their apologists.
Trump was and still is America’s best and perhaps last chance for restoration and revival.
No one else has the courage or the skills to pull it off.
Putin is using the Truth as a weapon and taking on the role of the boy to yell “The Emperor has no clothes.” Putin is the only world leader with balls enough to say the truth. Unlike many who whisper the truth out of fear of Biden’s Cabal, he can openly say it. We should thank him—his comments might have saved Trump’s life. The assassination plans would spark international outrage now if they went into action. If Trump has an “accident” The world will see the USA as a savage beast ready to tear apart any who oppose them and join the Russia-China-Iran-North Korea team. Biden is building a vast world alliance that could bring us down.
"The world agrees with Putin on this issue.""Putin is absolutely right. The dirty Democrats are trying to take Trump down because he is the competitor and they are afraid he will win the election."
"Never thought I'd find a reason to agree with Putin.."
The question is, What is Putin’s motivation in saying it?
Truth is Truth regardless of who speaks it.
It is a bit of a stretch to call Putin Hitler.
