WASHINGTON (CNN) — Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent interview separated a conciliatory attitude toward US President Donald Trump from his staunch criticism of the US political system, which he said is unwieldy and self-defeating.

Biden Stumps For Democrat Conor Lamb: ‘He Reminds Me Of My Son Beau’

“I’m disappointed not at all in the partner, but more disappointed in the system itself,” Putin said. “There can’t be disappointment here, because it demonstrates sheer inefficiency and eats itself. And it’s quite difficult to interact with such a system, because it is unpredictable.”

He doesn’t understand the nature of checks and balances.

Putin would be a big Woodrow Wilson supporter.

It is disappointing our founding fathers didn’t include a clause that promptly exiles political hacks.

Biden is an idiot.

It is just the deep state and elitists that argue and limp along totally incapable of understanding that the American people are quite aware they are incompetent boobs and they are unable to make incompetency appear as “smart leadership” anymore. They are just the feckless criminals we know they are fighting over who gets to be in charge of ripping off the people. It is, well, really, very contentious.

Soooo Vlad, we have to watch this nincompoopian comedy 24/7.

Trump is our breath of fresh air!

To Putin: (In by best Sam Kinison impersonation voice), “Thank you Mister Helper!”

Nah, he’s reading the WaPoo and the Slimes ... they say the political system is eating itself. Putin should join FR and get some real news.

Putin must be laughing his ass off that he could cause so much division for such a small amount of money. He’s played the Democrats like a violin.

It's not the political system it's the Left and their corruption.

Conor Lamb is depending on Papa Joe Biden to stump with him in Pittsburgh for the special congressional election? It will make pretty boy Conor look even younger and more inexperienced than he already is.

"It's not the political system it's the Left and their corruption. "

...and those who let them do it with impunity.

We have the best (imperfect) system on the planet but a growing population that does indeed rot the system.

Putin is trolling but he is right to a certain extent. The left is taking full advantage of everything the Founder's gave us. I do believe even they were quite skeptical and here we are.

Maybe he’s talking about how Trump’s policies and the Deep State’s policies are wildly different and often in direct conflict with one another, and he never knows from one person to the next which one he’s going to be dealing with.
