In my opinion, Tucker seemed pretty nervous during the interview, may be the reason for getting really loud & laughing at times. I mean just sitting in the room alone with Putin's total attention on him is enough to be nervous about, he's formidable. Although, every time I see Putin talk he seems very laid back, he seems very intelligent and composed. Tucker also had the weight of what will happen when he comes back home, will the DS try to suicide him? Heck, we can all say "why didn't he ask this or that, or why did he mention that reporter" all we want but we were not sitting in front of Putin. When I'm nervous I forget everything I wanted to say, I get tongue tied in the middle of telling a story, lol, it's like my brain has continuous brain farts, it's embarrassing.

For Putin to even contemplate an interview with Tucker out of all the journalists in the world is saying something.
