Putin didn’t take Kelly seriously. And he was right to do so. He showed great restraint. More than I would have.

Putin made his bones as a KGB thug. This guy would step over his own mother. He's the product of the soul less and brutal system he once served. He can be charming when he needs to be but Russia isn't the West. Women don't get very high up in the ‘nomenklatura’’ in Russia. It is still very much a male dominated society especially in politics. To Putin Kelly was no more than a pleasant, if somewhat mildly annoying distraction.
