This interview was a perfect opportunity to be his evil self...no confrontation either... knowing lots of American viewership

And Stone takes part in it. Sole purpose is to present Putin to american audience as someone not to fear, an ally not enemy (per trump). His views mirror trumpsters. They'll worship him because Obama is the enemy of the state to them abd Putin is trump's closest ally. It's horrible. You don't interview someone with zero credibility. But then again even NBC is bringing alex jones (who is on putin's payroll).

I know exactly what he is doing. If you ever care to learn about Putin, please read Masha Gessen publications not Showtime.
