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.

Antonia, IMO your perspective is way off target.
