I surprisingly liked Tucker's questioning. I found most US-style interview styles annoying as they always insert their opinions and agenda in them, are leading and confrontational. I like that he let Putin speak and didn't interrupt. Too often journos liked the soujd of their voices too much. 🙄 However, as Tucker did not seem to be prepared with the Russian history bits he can't rebut/clarify Putin's points well.
Context: I was trained by a Canadian interview expert when i was in journalism.
