WeLcOmE TO My SiTeS - Moscow, Argentine football legend Diego Maradona considers Russian President Vladimir Putin a phenomenon that can bring peace to many people around the world. Instead, he views the President of the United States (US) Donald John Trump like a cartoon character who need not be taken seriously.
"I think after (Hugo) Chavez and Fidel (Castro), Putin along with (Ariel) Ortega and Evo (Morales), representing the political 'top leaders'," said Maradona, who arrived in Moscow on Friday.
"Putin is someone who can bring peace to many people in this world," he said. "A phenomenon, just a phenomenon."
The Argentine legend claimed he had not seen President Donald Trump among the world's political elites. "For me, he's more than a comic."
"He's like a cartoon to me, if we talk about politics. Every time I see it on television, I change the channel, "added Mardona, as reported by Russia Today, Saturday (1/7/2017).
The 56-year-old soccer legend does not believe that America today is a dominant force in the international arena.
"People should not forget Russia, China, about North Korea. The US is not the county sheriff anymore. We will find weapons to match that they have, "said the former soccer star with the nickname" The Hand of God "is.
Maradona stressed that no one wants war. "But when you see cartoon characters like Trump, you begin to think that if such men are brought to the head (mind), we might all be enemies," Maradona continued.
"Latin America feels increasing pressure from the right. Right, I mean the United States, which is bad for this continent, "he said.
"Rights are stronger now. The right has more money. They can buy many things. And I am angry because of that, as under the previous president, people at least have food, but now in Argentina there are people who are starving. This is sad. Very sad. And not just Argentina. Brazil too, "explained Maradona.
