Great reflection, but this was on how an interview could be much better and more beneficial for the west, and this was never in the cards. Probably Putin recorded it all and then handed Tucker the tape, and he wouldn't have if it was disastrous. My reflection is that the interview could've been so much more damaging if Putin had been better prepared himself to press on Western painpoints, exacerbating the lack of trust we have in our own institutions. Instead it was this rambling, boring stuff about history and so forth that won't leave much of an impression. And this in turn is evidence that Putin is winging it to a large degree. He's not taking help from his team of experts in influence operations, for some reason.
