What an elegant and soft way of expressing something so powerful. In a couple of sentences Putin just expressed volumes. This man is brilliant no doubt about it

[The_Dark_Lord-]

Wow! I can't believe that Putin has said some thing so positive and honest about America. Especially at this time when their relationship with US is so bad. No wonder why he's admired so much around the world. I've never heard any US President acknowledging anything good about Russia.

[johnjuhasz]

Putin has HIS OWN COUNTRY'S interests first and foremost. Sure, they occasionally differ than OUR interests but the guy is not fickle. We know who he is. I respect that.

[kacpermigacz]

If a US president was asked this question about Russia I doubt he/she would have been this nice.

[cccpredarmy]

the translation was a little bit off. I as a russian speaker myself heard him definetly saying that "USA is the greatest power to the nowadays world and has influence to it"

[anniegrant]

This is a respectful interview to me on both sides. That man is very good with interviews

[pamelacook]

That was nice of president Putin because I know that Washington gives him mouth at times...Russian ppl are a strong ppl.they are hard working survivors. I really like Vladimir Putin. God bless.

[josephcoleman]

Interesting. As I was watching, I kept wondering if he knew we are like teenagers with money: $19 Trillion in debt? "Creative" budgeting...

[slycordinator]

"Are you curious about America?"

The hell was he supposed to say? "No"?

[NilsOWN]

He admires open-mindedness, and is a dictator that persecutes gay people? That makes absolutely no sense.

One of the most intelligent world leaders in the history of man kind.

Young American men died and lost limbs because of Obama's games.

[thatdrunkguyyousawlastweek]

Is the translations good or bad? Can't tell.

[jamesgibson]

im American and I can respect putin more than our own president but I also love my country more than any other I just don't care for the leaders we have who deceive us as a people. thank you putin for your kind words towards the citizens here in America, our 2 nations should have a much better relationship, I believe we can learn so much from eachother, idk y the differences but I believe many have forgotten the strength we had with eachother and other allies in ww2

[bendover-ih]

0:31 well maybe try that in your own country

[competence]

Lol the fact that he still doesn't speak English to English reporters. He speaks English, German and Russian Fluently, but I fucking love Putin.

[randomlemur]

If U.S.A and Russia teamed up to fight against someone they would be unstoppable.

[youtubedude]

Like it or not, he just tells you there what you want to hear all the time.
You need to be seen as the admirable nation.

AMERICA is FANTASTIC
thx for your leadership
YOU are

[patriotgirl]

Did Charlie Rose understand Russian, then, or was someone writing what Putin was saying?

[SomeOne-eedx]

What does Putin admire most about the U.S.? I thought he was going to say he admires our massive nuclear arsenal.
