We started watching Thursday night, finished the talk last night after four, nightly, 30-minute viewings. While I appreciate the transcript offered, I found it most interesting to watch Mr. Putin's face, his hands, his closing of eyes to better consider a thought, his times of silence while he considered his response--all of the body language which he quite generously displayed. I don't have Russian, so have to rely upon that translator, pretty clearly Russian-born. Husband and I considered that someone more comfortable with English would have been helpful, but no doubt Mr. Putin chose a Russian as translator to better control the translation.
I have been studying Russian for a short while, not long enough to have a good opinion. But for what it is worth, the translation seemed good. And like you, I was fascinated by Putin's body language.
We tend to forget to think in terms of audience. First, there is the alleged thinking American crowd including the people, all levels of operation, who contrived and run and/or abetted Project Ukraine/Take Down of Russia. And then their is the Russian Federation viewers. And then there is the rest of the world looking on, including the Global South so-called. Putin has to speak credibly to all of these audiences, and Goldy Locks just right.
I alo noted Tucker's facial expressions and body language, and it was obvious to me that he was nervous until the last part of the interview. Clearly he knew he was in the presence of someone who know his stuff inside out, has penultimate class, and experience few can match. Having been head of the KGB, imagine the survival skills he has both to reach that position, hold it, then rise to the presidency. And the clowns in the deep state and MSM keep calling him a dictator, when he was elected, and the real detector is the pretendent of the US.
