I have yet to listen to the whole interview, I think TC will have been a bit frustrated, and ultimately a bit disappointed. Putin does not and never has obliged with simplistic sound bites for a press stenographer to repeat, and he probably doesn't even have a spin doctor. I don't know how Russians take their political news, but obviously it's not the way we do.
Here's an interesting paragraph proving that the writer doesn't understand metaphor or parable.
When asked to explain the blocks of alliances in the geopolitical situation, Putin became more vague.
“Listen, you have said that the world is breaking into two hemispheres. A human brain is divided into two hemispheres. One is responsible for one type of activities, the other one is more about creativity and so on. But it is still one in the same head,” Putin said. “The world should be a single whole. Security should be shared, rather than a demand for the golden billion. That is the only scenario where the world could be stable, sustainable and predictable. Until then, while the head is split in two parts it is an illness a serious adverse condition.”
I would have thought anyone with any pretension of literary thought and writing would have been able to understand exactly what Putin is saying so eloquently, but obviously not. Can you imagine Biden even stringing one sentence into a rational argument?
Worth comparing, as we have written confirmation from the legal investigator into documentgate - ie the careless filing of secret papers in a garage - that Biden has serious memory lapses, and that according to special council,
Hur added, however, unusually pointed remarks about Biden's mental capacities.
He wrote that a jury would not want to convict Biden, who came across to investigators as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory."
"It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him -- by then a former president well into his eighties -- of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness," the special counsel said.
