The girl I work with is from Russia. She came here in 2008 and became a citizen. I sent this to her to translate to make sure that is what he's saying.
He is saying what has been translated correctly. However. Keep in mind. He says Trumps persecution for political motives. He did exactly the same to his opponent, Alexey Navalniy, who actually disappeared from prison and many think Putin ordered to kill him. So putin cannot be put above American "democracy". He is not better and it is not for him to judge American politic swamp while sitting in his own swamp and doing exactly the same.
it is not for him to judge American politic swamp while sitting in his own swamp and doing exactly the same.
I definitely disagree with her here though. People can judge, and should judge. We are supposed to be the leaders of the free world. We took that mantle upon ourselves and yet as a country did not maintain it, though instead use it as a weapon.
We judge everyone else for their stuff, they can judge us back. They are free to do so.
Just because he's guilty of the same thing (assuming he is) doesn't make him wrong for recognizing it in our politics.
Plus, I think it's a little bit disingenuous to treat Putin, who grew up in and was part of the Soviet government, as if he's the leader of a long democratic tradition. He's one of the couple first Russian leaders to be elected rather than appointed by the party. I don't expect Russia to get democracy 100% right, right out of the gate. God knows we screw it up and we've had almost a quarter millenia of practice, plus the benefit of England giving us a model to build on.
Well, I mean, how many people live in America who do not know what is going on in America?
The translation check is very good practice. thank you. But her opinion is her opinion, and there are a LOT of normies out there, Trump supporters included.

Here is what she said.

Not sure why you got downvoted.

That is her opinion. She lived there until her 20's. Her entire family is there.
Also keep in mind her entire family lives there still so she knows what's going on. She is conservative and a Trump fan.
