It Must Have Been "Honor American Traitors Day" at the Kremlin. Putin Defends Trump and Praises Musk

Mod: It certainly looks like Vlad wanted to give his special boys a nice pat on their tushies.

Putin says prosecution of Trump shows US political system is ‘rotten’ (Associated Press link): Russian President Vladimir Putin asserted Tuesday that the criminal cases against former U.S. President Donald Trump are political revenge that show the fundamental corruption of the United States.

“As for the prosecution of Trump, for us what is happening in today’s conditions, in my opinion, is good because it shows the rottenness of the American political system, which cannot pretend to teach others democracy,” Putin said at an Eastern Economic Forum gathering in Russia’s Pacific Coast city of Vladivostok.

“Everything that is happening with Trump is the persecution of a political rival for political reasons. That’s what it is. And this is being done in front of the public of the United States and the whole world,” he said.

Opinion polls indicate that Trump is by far the strongest contender to become the Republican Party’s candidate in the 2024 presidential election. During his four years in the White House, Trump repeatedly touted having good relations with Putin, while critics alleged he was submissive to the Russian leader.

Russia’s Putin praises Elon Musk as an ‘outstanding person’ and ‘talented businessman’ (CNBC link): Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday praised Elon Musk, calling the Tesla and SpaceX founder a “talented businessman.” Putin made the comments at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Russia, as he spoke about Russia’s space program.

“Elon Musk ... is undoubtedly an outstanding person. It must be admitted. I think the whole world admits it. He is an active, talented businessman,” Putin said, according to a Reuters translation.

The comments come after Russia’s first space launch to the moon in nearly 50 years, failed last month after the Luna-25 lander crashed onto the lunar surface. The flop was seen as a major setback for Russia’s space program just days before India successfully landed its first spacecraft on the moon.
