This is the best summary I could come up with:
Vladimir Putin has described the recent criminal conviction of Donald Trump as politically motivated and claimed that it had “burned” the idea that the US was a leading democracy.
Trump last week became the first former US head of state ever convicted of a felony crime after a New York jury found him guilty of 34 charges over efforts to conceal a sexual liaison with an adult film actor, Stormy Daniels, in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election.
In a press conference on Wednesday, Putin said: “It is obvious all over the world that the prosecution of Trump – especially in court on charges that were formed on the basis of events that happened years ago, without direct proof – is simply using the judicial system in an internal political struggle.”
Speaking earlier this week, the former White House Russia specialist Fiona Hill warned that Putin was likely to see Trump’s conviction as a chance to undermine the US’s global influence and boost his own standing.
“What mischief does he have to make when you have people within the American system itself denigrating it and pulling it down?” Hill, a former senior adviser to three US presidents – including Trump – said to AP.
Earlier this year, Putin said he would prefer to see Biden re-elected in remarks that were met with skepticism by many Russia watchers who believe his intention may be to use his notoriety to boost Trump.
The original article contains 574 words, the summary contains 241 words. Saved 58%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
ha, says the guy who has to literally murder his opposition to stick around.
“You need to get a conviction! HA!. in russia, we just them out the window.”
Didn’t he arrest his opponents?
Yes, but only with the achieved intent to murder them.
“Relax man, I was just going to shoot you in the head and kill you.”
Putin proves the idea that a pile of shit can run a fucking cesspool.
On the contrary. But, of course, he’s just stirring shit.
Weird, so does Trump.
This from the man who “won” his own “democratic” election.
“Democracy is when your leaders can get away with anything, but their opposition gets jailed for nothing.” - antidemocratic dipshits
You can tell a man’s character by the friends he has
As if the US were ever a leading democracy to begin with. Not a good one at least.
Yeah, we should really give two wet shits what the all-but-in-name dictator of Russia has to say about democracy. When we need advice about subverting democracy with false flag attacks on your own civilians, we’ll be sure to ask ol Vladdy what he thinks.
Who the fuck cares what that fetid fascist sack of pustulant assholes says?
You are a wordsmith my good sir!
I don’t know, he left it kind of ambiguous whether he was talking about Putin or Trump. There’s nothing in there that;s specific to either.
the title says “putin says”.
And yet, removing the ambiguity seems superfluous. It’s not like it’d change anything, right?
Trump after getting convicted of 34 felonies:
Oh my god…there’s no better representation of it.
Indeed. Rich people are not treated like that.
Ah yes - the man who still has to have the vote rigged even after arranging for the murders of his opposition speaks on democracy…
“Coming from you, that’s high praise!”
