I'm watching this interview with Chris Wallace, and it's pretty distracting trying to listen to the translator while watching Putin's lips move.

Same reason you don't speak Russian?

He understands it better than he speaks it.

Apparently his German is pretty fluent as well.

Because he doesn't speak English would be my guess.

Maybe, and I'm just guessing here, but maybe he doesn't speak English like 90% of other Russians.

Sounds crazy, I know.

For the same reason that Edwin Edwards spoke with a heavy Cajun accent when speaking in south Louisiana and no accent when speaking in north Louisiana....it’s called playing to your audience.

Putin isn’t speaking to American’s, he is speaking to his country.

Because he's speaking as the President of Russia, he's representing Russia. It also happens to be his mother tongue since you know, he's Russian.
