Full unedited video interview of Russian President Vladimir Putin by USA TV channel NBC's Megyn Kelly, March 2018

I debated in my mind whether I should put up a public post on this or not, as it deals with some super-super-sensitive topics.

I decided to put up this post as I think that in a world that has got very, very inter-dependent like never before in world history, thanks to mind-blowing advances in science & technology, the world will be a safer and better place when USA and Russia, two of the topmost military powers of the world today, have some decent relations and interactions even if they strongly differ on some matters. Today's USA Russia relations are at a very low point.

This really extraordinary interview by USA mainstream TV channel NBC's Megyn Kelly of Russian President Vladimir Putin gives us President Putin's views on a variety of topics including some super-super-sensitive topics which were raised very courageously and quite aggressively by Megyn Kelly.

I saw the entire video over the past two days. I was shocked by some of Kelly's very aggressive questions and charges against Russia and sometimes against President Putin himself, posed directly to President Putin, and was even more shocked to see that Putin, even though he seems to have got visibly angry and annoyed at some of the questions/charges, answered them!

Therefore this interview is an extraordinary capture of Mr.  Putin's current views on almost all of the major issues that USA has with Russia, as per my understanding of these issues based on what I have read in USA mainstream media reports. Some may not accept those views of Mr. Putin. But at least one sees what those views are.

One side listening to the other side's views is an important step in improving relations even if the first side disagrees strongly with some of the views of the other side.

The interview also covers some other aspects of Russia and Mr. Putin which are not connected with any issues/problems between USA and Russia. Russia's challenges (e.g. economy, population decline) in the past (post-Soviet era) and how Russia overcame some of those challenges as per Mr. Putin, and what Mr. Putin's vision and plan for Russia now and in the near future are, are covered to some extent.

Here's the video link: EXCLUSIVE FULL UNEDITED Interview of Putin with NBC's Megan Kelly, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mhi_AyQAyw, 1 hr. 28 mins, published by Russia Insight on 10th March 2018.

This seems to be the transcript (I had a quick browse of it; not yet read it properly):

My prayers to God for improved relations, peace and harmony between the two topmost military powers of the world today, namely the USA and Russia. Peace and harmony between USA and Russia will help in fostering peace and harmony in the entire world.
