    Than why did he need a translator in the room to speak to Trump?

    Speaking slowly is common courtesy when the other person isn't fluent. Now if he was speaking English with a Russian accent that would another story..

    to be fair the use of a translator is all designed to be worked to his advantage, no doubt putin is fluent in english but to make things awkward he operates through a translator.

    McGregor is one of those morons who think when they talk to a foreignor they have to 'dumb down' or simplify their English: "your security... too tight" (accompanied by expressive hand gestures). Putin speaks good English, probably better than McG.

    Probably the type who raises his voice when talking to waiters and retail assistants when he's in Spain too.

    Pretty much. He has a translator on hand for official engagements but is indeed fluent in English. He speaks with foreign leaders in English or German in private. He speaks quite a bit of English in Oliver Stone's 'Putin interviews'.

    I imagine like most people from that region, Putin speaks several languages, including English, quite well.

    That was because Trump can't speak English.

    Putin may speak English that doesn't mean he understands a thick dub accent!! He had an interpreter with him for his meeting with Donald Trump.

    Some people just criticize the man for anything

    Think you're getting a bit worked up over nothing. It was clearly tongue in cheek.

    To be fair, after the Mayweather bout, he was exhausted and talking naturally Dub, and people didn't know a word he said.

    Maybe I've missed something. Putin is from St. Petersburg. Are people from there renowned for their linguistic skills?

    Putin speaks english, and probably understands it well. But not every non-native speaker does though. Not being aware of Putin's english ability is hardly a massive blunder imo.

    Although in McGregor's case, he 'dumbs up' the language..

    Some of the lads on here will be absolutely drooling at that photo, getting all upset at you for daring to suggest he has anything other than an absolute monster cock.

    In the space of about a week, we've gone from Dee being off her nips on coke while pregnant, Conor being a new breed of tyrannical fascist, and now his cock. Wow.
