BREAKING: Putin calls Trump legal cases ‘politically motivated persecution’
Inside Paper ^ | Sep 12 | AFP

Posted on 09/12/2023 4:37:02 AM PDT by RandFan

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.

Agreed 100%. I’m a big believer of discernment. That’s why I read magazines and books that most would not.

What I’m not a big believer in is conjecture with no primary sources, or primary sources that don’t withstand critical analysis.

Putin saying it is no help to Trump, and Putin knows it.

Putin, in this election cycle, is now, and going to continue, to aid the Dims narrative that Trump colludes with Putin. Putin knows it will help the Dims.

My bad, let me be more specific.
“As the US targets all its economic and military might towards a laughably inept, totally failed attempt at destroying Russia.” Yes, America’s plight at the hands of those DC oligarchs you march lock step with does elicit tears from any true American patriot.

Who knows? Maybe he’s the clock that’s not running, and this was his time to be right.

Like him or hate him—when Putin is right—he’s right. As Sam Houston once said: “The Truth Burns, but burns clean.”
