Maria Butina had a sharp response to a guest who questioned her rosy view of Russia compared with the U.S.
But on Friday's edition of on the NTV channel, Butina took exception to being interrupted while she was criticizing the U.S.
Former Russian spy Maria Butina is pictured in Moscow on March 5, 2020. She snapped back at a fellow guest on the NTV program"Meeting Place" on January 21, 2023 as she lambasted the U.S.She said that the"average American...blindly believes their government" before launching into a critique of its justice system.
"Americans are so hard-headed about believing the government that their percentage of acquittals by a jury is only 0.3 percent," she said, comparing it to Russia's acquittal rate of"30 percent, if we are talking about jury trials." Maria Butina, who fancies herself a leading expert on America, was slamming "ignorant" and "hardheaded" Americans who "blindly trust their government," but in a true mic drop fashion, she was suddenly asked an inconvenient question she couldn't answer.
