Well to be fair anybody slobbering Putins knob are idiots. He's an ex-KGB spook, and nobody should believe anything any spook from anywhere ever says.

He had a masterful delivery in the interview. He made himself relatable, and any American right-leaning person is going to leave that wondering at least to some extent if we are the bad guys, which is absolutely his desired outcome.

Or maybe he's genuine and correct, and wants global peace and prosperity and wants America to "wake up." Odds are we'll never know the truth one way or the other. It's worth sitting through just because it is of major historical significance IMO.

Agree 100%. Putin is a killer and evil evil man. Anyone who thinks highly of this guy is a fricking retard.

But it can be beneficial to interview people like him if they’re interviewed by a tough journalist. You can see how they view things, what their thought process is. Which is the point I was getting at. In no way was I trying to praise Putin.

Journalists should be encouraged to interview as many prominent historical figures they can (good or bad). We shouldn’t be discouraging that. Which is what the fig who commented on my OP was getting at.

This part is absolutely on point

This is incorrect. Actually being conservative or liberal has nothing to do with being susceptible to being fooled. It’s about being an idiot.

As someone else in this thread pointed out, a few months ago certain radical leftist were passing around a letter written by bin Laden on Facebook. It’s the exact same mentality with anyone taking from Putins interview that maybe America is the bad guy. Both are idiots. One group just prefers red kool aid to blue.
