"Putin will be like -minded": Russia needs Trump's victory - former CIA Director

According to John Brennan, Trump's victory will benefit Russia in the war against Ukraine, where Putin is now "collapsing. " It is critically important for Russian President Vladimir Putin that Donald Trump is selected in the US presidential election in 2024. Former CIA Director John Brennan said this in a comment to MSNBC. CIA Director of Barack Obama's Presidency John Brennan said it in a comment to MSNBC.

He is convinced that the victory of Trump will help to strengthen Russia's position in the context of war in Ukraine. "For Putin, I think it is important that Donald Trump won the election. Putin and Trump are members of the community of autocrats who are captured by each other. And they are going to flatter each other and play for each other," Brennan said.

At the same time, the former CIA leader expressed his conviction that the return of Trump to the White House can harm not only Ukraine, where Putin is now faced with difficulties, but also in other areas. "If Trump is able to return to the White House . . . Putin may have a like -minded man with whom he can cooperate, of course, at the expense of the US interests and the interests of the West in general," he says.
