    This is going to get the same treatment in the West that his interview with Tucker Carlson got.

    No actual analysis of Putin as a rational actor, just “hE’s a MaDmAN”

      it’s such an idiotic contradiction

      Putin is a madman who wants to control the world! maybe-later-honey

      well, he has a lot of nukes

      nah, he’s just paper tiger, we can slap him around smuglord

      there are actual people in power who believe these statements simultaneously. wtf. even by the standards of Western statesmen this is the worst generation
