I watched the Putin interview and was a bit surprised he didn't say anything about our cultural & social rot here in the US and in many other western countries.

I watched the Putin interview and was a bit surprised he didn't say anything about our cultural & social rot here in the US and in many other western countries. It may have very well been what you suggest Jeff but it occurred to me that maybe he held back because we're our own worst enemy? No wars are needed if your enemy is self imploding, right? IDK. My takeaway was pretty simple. Russia's President gave a detailed 30+ minute Russian geopolitical lesson while our President was found cognitively impaired (Hur's report) and can't put 2 sentences together.

LuAnne -This may be the most concise, cogent and insightful analysis I've read about the interview.
I just sat in awe thinking this as well as I watched the first half. This man clearly has a fully functioning and capable brain and then America… 😣 well the Hur’s report is beyond humiliating.
Great comment LuAnne! That interview convinced me that he is one cagey fox. And maybe more dangerous than I had thought. He is intelligent and well informed on every subject as a world leader should be - and he’s giving nothing away. Still the KGB agent at heart.
yeah, I think many of us were really hoping he would take the opportunity to call us out for our nonsense. Yeah, I could see that it's maybe one of two things - like Jeff said, he either held back to try to appeal to more independents and moderate dem's or he is perhaps enjoying watching us self implode from our own stupidity.
Better than that he called out our leaders for their nonsense. He knows as well as anyone the populace is helpless to prevent the neocons running the country from forging ahead with their ridiculous NWO agenda.
Biden's demise has been planned for a long time. They were never going to let him run in 2024--they know even his own constituency has no faith in him--his cognitive impairment is beyond obvious. So, just in time, about 6 months before the election, he is officially deemed demented.
This is not good news. Who will replace him? *They* are very good at pulling people from under rocks to swoop in and win the country over. Just in the nick of time.
I am sure that a lot of people would have wanted commentary on the US/Western rot/corruption. But this is not Putin's job. Putin's job is Russian. Only Russian and not the rest of the baggage of the world.
Here is an example from the interview regarding the pipeline. Putin mentioned that one gas pipeline still can work. And did he mention that by accident? Probably not ... and in spite of the outright attempt of the Collective West/American Empire to smash Russian and fragment Russia into ten or more pieces controlled by the West, Russia still appears willing to supply gas to Europe. Why? Because selling gas is good for Russia. And also, and by political settlement, a re-stabilised Europe is also good for Russia.
So why are we giving a ruthless dictator a platform? I am sure he thinks he now has a free pass to invade whatever country he wants and Americans will watch and nod their heads in agreement.
We give dictators a platform all the time. Biden, Trudeau, Zelensky, to name a few and no one thinks twice.
Sorry....I'm being sarcastic (well, somewhat), I couldn’t resist.
Honestly though, there was nothing Putin said in that interview that changed my mind or opinion of him and quite frankly, I'm not sure why you seem to be OK with government and/or media have the say in who we are "allowed" to hear. Also, Putin doesn't need any American "nods" to do whatever it is he has up his sleeve.
It is not an issue of the media or government “allowing” - I am horrified by how naive so many are - this dictator has been given legitimacy for his brutal regime- and most have no idea what goes on in Russia. This totally undermines all dissidents and that’s just the beginning of how embolden his American following has made him.
Who's given him legitimacy and how is it Americans have emboldened him? American taxpayers have forked out billions upon billions to Ukraine. Money we don't have btw! We've got millions upon millions of unvetted, unchecked foreigners
waltzing across our southern border for which taxpayers are once again, on the hook for. And now, we're sending even more war money to the ME wars. It seems our very own government is behind so much of this and it's destroying our country so you'll have to excuse me for not being hyper-focused on hating Russia.

I tremble at the thought (given who’s second in line) but didn’t the DOJ just sign, seal and deliver a 25th Amendment take-down?

Place him next to the imbecile in office, mind blowing

Putin talks about our cultural and social rot in other speeches.

100%. If Tucker had asked him, Putin’s response would have been something like ‘why should I help your country? That’s your job not mine.’

Antonia, IMO your perspective is way off target.
