Putin does not speak English fluently although he does understand a great deal. He also speaks English with a strong Russian accent. But he realizes that speaking English poorly in a sensitive and public situation can make him look weak and unintelligent. This he cannot abide.

He understand that, speaking English already colonised his country and make him a wannabe world power.

who told you that the British colonized Russia?

To the enlightened and developed countries English is irrelevant. They stick to their own language unlike what is obtainable down here in Nigeria

If you didn't understand what I said then you should have shut up and saved yourself from embarrassing yourself publicly..... Go and research on "multiverse theory" maybe you'll be able to know what I meant.
FYI, England colonized a lot of countries all over the world which explains why most countries speak English as their official language but Russia was never colonized by them.....So no Russian is obligated to understand English.

Answer; standard protocol.

In Vienna, Austria, during a summit with President Kennedy of the USA in 1961, Chairman Nikita Khrushchev spoke Russian. Khrushchev spoke excellent English. When his foreign minister, who doubled as his interpreter, tried to downplay something he said, Khrushchev used English to correct him then reverted to Russian for the rest of the conversation.

doggedfighter:
He's not like doggedfighter.

hmm

He's trying to preserve and promote his country's language.

E.g like Most Germans speak English but pretend and would want you to speak German when communicating with them.

What's the point of speaking English.
If Americans or other presidents don't understand what he's saying, they should get a translators.

He's only preserving his country's language.

Don't fool yourself sir. That only happens in some part (not all) of the 3rd world countries

English is a language, not intelligence.

Meaning while, most African mentality; if you can't speak English fluent they recognized you as ignorant, unintelligent, non smart.

To me English is a language which is normal, as far you can your message to your audience and besides, they will understand you.

That's all, no need of blowing grammar like Obama.

Just keep it simple, that's is the rule.

Maybe u don't understand his grammar, read again sir

because english is not his fucking language ,


putin, sexiest presido alive


buhari is aterrorist tho

It is an act of patriotism to put your nation (or the country you represent) out conspicuously when opportunities presents themselves.
This is how you preserve and your culture, tradition, language and ethnic identity.

There are some Africans suffering from colonial mentality that assume it is a thing of pride that they or their children cannot speak their mother tongue almost fluently. This is how some culture dominates others till they die off.
And others that are "ethnocentric" preserve their cultural identity and even introduce others to it.

For example, if the Chinese weren't unapologetically ethnocentric in certain aspects, some of us wouldn't see any need to learn Mandarin Chinese.

Dear African, put your cultural identity at the forefront before others

English is just another language in Europe just like Russian, French, German, Italian etc. Why should he leave his own language and be speaking those of a neighbouring country? Do Hausas communicate in Igbo?

I also found this here https://metrovibes.ng/why-does-putin-pretend-he-doesnt-speak-english/

Does the American or British head speak in Russian?
