The entire interview is over two hours long. I haven’t sat through the whole thing yet, may not, but it’s interesting and Putin presents well.
Of the first half hour I’ve watched, I don’t hold the same opinion that Putin expresses on the subjects covered but there was nothing that was completely false. He’s not lying. I don’t think many American politicians could talk for over half an hour without descending into complete BS.
The money quote…
“… in the war of propaganda it is very hard to beat the United States”
On the North River 
LOL! Nobody…and I mean NOBODY does propaganda like the USSR/Russians.
Everyone who grew up during the cold war and paid attention remembers quite
well then nonstop BS that came from Moscow.

You seem to be an extreme victim of the propaganda right here in your own country but are completely unaware of it.

At the core of Putin’s comment is his observation that in America all the media sources willingly echo the governments point of view and self-censor any dissenting voices.
His long dissertation on Russian history is interesting; our US history is only around 250 year old, Putin pointed out the foundations of the Russian state can be established at 1,200 years in the past. And he feels that history is important.
Here we are in this country erasing American history only 160 years old. Hell! Their’re trying to rewrite history only fifty years old! Isn’t that propaganda?

NOBODY does propaganda like the USSR/Russians. And I stand by that
statement. Is OUR media corrupt and dishonest? Hell yeah. That in NO WAY
makes ANYTHING coming out of Moscow believable.
