This is good. Everyone deserves a voice; ultimately, it's the people to decide. I'm surprised by the global panic over Putin's publicized interview. What's causing the fear?

The oppression against Russia is not just something that has been happening the past 100 years, or 2 centuries ago - its been several centuries way before communism was around even before the middle ages. European countries have always gang up against Russia - geopolitical competition, territorial disputes, ideological differences, and power struggles

Also, Russia was the strongest force in fighting against Hitler and the Nazis, and have been providing safe haven for the Jews for many centuries. Have we ever thanked them?

If you want to talk about systemic oppression, well hello there.

I am not a fan of communism from an economic standpoint and as charming as Putin can be (I have watched many of his other interviews over the years), I am not a fan the control and the oligarch practices.

BUT. It important to be fair to him and Russia to at least hear him out.
