Russian President Putin Is Probably Having Regrets On Being Interviewed By Megyn Kelly



Leonid Bershidsky, Bloomberg: Putin May Want to Pick a Male Interviewer Next Time

When Megyn Kelly turned up the heat, he turned to nastiness and eyerolls.

Russian President Vladimir Putin needed someone to deliver a message to his Western adversaries. He picked Megyn Kelly of NBC News, which was probably a mistake.

Kelly was invited to Putin's signature investment gathering, the annual St. Petersburg Economic Forum, to moderate a panel of four leaders: Putin, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Austrian Chancellor Christian Kern and Moldovan President Igor Dodon. The motley crew seemed calibrated to signal that Russia is working constructively with the developing world's giants, with European neighbors, and within its traditional sphere of influence. It's by no means isolated.

Next to this display, Kelly represented the U.S., the one "pole" in a multipolar world that's not engaged in constructive interaction with Putin's Russia. Mostly ignoring the other panelists, she grilled Putin on supposedly inconvenient subjects such as election interference and his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Putin, however, has heard these questions many times before, and was in a playful mood. Bored with reciting his now familiar answers, he shifted to tasteless jokes, mansplaining and mocking. He repeated his main message for Kelly about a dozen times for emphasis: "This has to stop at some point."

Megan Kelly

The 40-ish liberal tease.


So why?

She's nothing but trouble.

Anastasia O'Grady or Claudia rosette would have been better choices. They are not eye candy, but they are good journalists.

I watched the interview. Megyn Kelly reveals herself to be the complete idiot I've long suspected her to be. She repeatedly sites "17 US Intelligence Agencies." US Intelligence agenices have long since shown themselves to be incompetent boobs. As such, ANYONE who would rely on ANYTHING they'd present as a primary source is a COMPLETE and TOTAL idiot.

Perhaps Mr. Putin chose her to conduct the interview with knowing what a complete bimbo/idiot she is with the idea of illustrating this point to his domestic audience just how, vain, stupid, and shallow Americans are. America/Americans already are the most hated people/country on earth especially in Russia.

This interview provided even more ammunition to anti-Americanism. This may have been Mr. Putin's plan. Russian patience with the diplonatic process has got to be growing thin. At most, I'd say we have six months before the Russians abandon diplomacy altogether.
