In Preview: what Putin thinks of Trump and Biden
Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an interview to a US media this week for the first time in nearly three years. NBC's Keir Simmons spoke to Putin for about 90 minutes and released some sneak peeks.
Perhaps the most interesting part of the conversation centered on the Russian leader's perspective on American politics and his personal thoughts on the two last presidents, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Putin called the former president "extraordinary" and "talented", noting that Biden is "radically different" and is a "career man" par excellence in politics.
" Well, even now, I believe that the former president of the United States, Mr. Trump, is an extraordinary individual, a talented individual, otherwise he would not have become president of the United States, " Putin told Simmons.
“ He is a colorful individual. You may like it or not, but it wasn't from the US establishment, it had never been a part of prominent politics before, and, you may like it or not, that's a fact . "
On the contrary, he said of President Biden:
". .. President Biden is a career man. He spent virtually all of his adulthood in politics, ”Putin said in part.
" He is a different kind of person, and it is my great hope that yes, there are some advantages, some disadvantages, but there will be no impulse-based movements, on behalf of the incumbent US president ."

Putin's response to the fact that Biden would have called him a "murderer" without a "soul" is also interesting. Putin replied in this new clip from NBC:
" During my tenure, I have grown accustomed to attacks from all kinds of angles and from all kinds of areas with all kinds of pretexts and reasons and of different caliber and ferocity and none of them surprise me ."
Putin called the killer label "Hollywood macho".

Putin also targeted a recent Washington Post report on Russia-Iran military relations and the relocation of advanced satellite systems. " It's just fake news," Putin rejected. “At least, I don't know anything about that kind of thing. Those who are talking about it will probably know more. They are just nonsense, garbage ”.
NBC will release the full interview shortly before the Geneva meeting on Monday, although neither party expects any significant results from the meeting.
