In a new interview this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed his preference for the re-election of President Joe Biden over that of former President Donald Trump.
When questioned about the merits of Biden versus Trump in an interview with state television, Putin stated that Biden leadership would be more in the interest of Russia.
“Biden. He is a more experienced, predictable person, a politician of the old school.” Putin said.
“But we will work with any U.S. president who the American people have confidence in,” he continued.
Putin’s statements follow criticism, resignation demands, and doubts regarding Biden’s mental fitness for office following the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s criminal investigation into Biden’s handling of classified materials last week.
Hur concluded that Biden intentionally retained and disclosed classified materials, but that no criminal charges were warranted because prosecutors believed a jury would find him to be a sympathetic and well-intentioned individual rather than a suitable defendant.
Biden, according to the report, could not recall even the most trivial particulars regarding significant events in his life, such as his tenure as vice president during the Obama administration, or the date of his son’s demise within several years, despite frequently discussing the subject.
Biden subsequently delivered a press conference during which he yelled at reporters and jumbled together a number of crucial details.
Putin stated that Trump’s recent remarks regarding NATO were logical, specifically that Europe should contribute fairly and not rely on the United States to pay for everything.
