I noticed that Putin started a few of his answers in English and then switched to Russian. I’ve read that he is fluent in English. It seems evident that he understood it perfectly and may even speak it well.

Thanks for your insight and reminder of who he is and how he came to power. He is a dangerous and ruthless man, all the more so because of his capabilities.

When speaking, it is always paramount to keep your audience in mind. I believe he had his Russian audience in mind which was the one audience he could address with his own voice in his native tongue.

Yes sir. It was quite interesting, Putin was definitely in control of the interview. I admire Tucker for doing it, but I’m not sure how much was gained by it, notoriety for Tucker, but no remarkable revelations. At least Tucker was smart enough to know that you “don’t poke the Bear”: our national leaders aren’t that smart.

it probably works for him to have more time to get to the answers.
