    Regardless of how bad Putin’s actions are, it never hurts to listen to what he says as he still dictates what happens.

    Don’t worry, it is a load of bullshit on Ukraine indeed, starting with vague historical references, but you better know what kind of crap you deal with. On a positive side, it adds some valid critique of the US - not of Biden or Democrats, he goes through with no respect to exact party, and mostly back in history, but related to modern situation.

    It never helps to cut yourself from information, and it doesn’t validate his position if you listen to it. The best approach to critics is “checking out and then reasonably confirming it’s crap”.

        Fair. But, I guess, interviewing a leader behind one of the bloodiest active wars can make you quite nervous. This isn’t just asking a friend.
