1 hour into the interview.

TLDR;

- Putin: West won't let us join their circle of friends 😭 I tried many times

US agencies acting outside US president interests (maybe this is the military industrial complex JFK warned about)...

- Nobody honors any agreements. Putin sad 😢

- Putin afraid of Nazis from a country a fraction of the size of Russia. So naturally we just wipe everyone out to get rid of the nazis..

Victim, victim, victim.

Not defending EU, NATO or US actions. Would love to hear the other side of it. Hard to know how much BS Putin is spewing as most of what he says supposedly occurred behind closed doors. We just have to take his word for it.
