Whether you admire or hate Putin you have to respect his ability to confront western main stream media and consistently reply with logical, witty statements. He is very cool under pressure and you can detect this guy is light years ahead of western politicians in terms of intelligence. I always make it a point to watch his interviews.
I've always thought his judo training has something to do with this. Keeping it cool under pressure and adequately responding to every opponent's move is something that comes almost naturally to Putin.
