Putin is a serious leader.
I don't know if people noticed it on first viewing but he very skillfully highlighted a lot of US weaknesses without seeming to do much, and certainly never revealing any Russian weakness.
I thought his recollections of specific meetings mentioning times, places and people about US events and promises broken was masterful. I don't for a moment believe those recollections were anything but self serving, so obviously not 100% truthful. But truthful enough that any "fact checking" is going to look petty and manipulative.
"I have the documents in the archive" is brutal. He's made the claim and has the documents. If the US produces some conflicting documents it will look like they are lying.
Tuckers face when Putin said inflation in the US is at 3-4% was hilarious.
Dictators often have a lot of governance experience and tend to be very wise. In democracies, a leader might last 4-12 years max, but dictators don't have silly "voters" to deal with, so they tend to have a lot more understanding and experience than a newer president.
Democratic politians can always blame the other hundreds politicians for the scew ups
