The exchange took place Wednesday at a Russian Energy Week panel in Moscow moderated by CNBC journalist Hadley Gamble. The reporter had pressed Putin on reports of Russia withholding gas supplies to Europe to drive up prices, and after the Russian leader dismissed the claim, she asked how Moscow could convince its European partners that it’s a reliable gas supplier in light of such reports.
“A beautiful woman, pretty. I tell her one thing, and she says something completely different. As if she didn’t hear what I said,” Putin said, turning to the male members of the audience.
And while he called it “politically motivated blather” to suggest the Kremlin might take advantage of soaring gas prices to get German regulators to approve the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, he said such an approval would “significantly relieve tensions on the energy market.”
He later noted that it was “entirely possible” gas prices could soon reach $100 a barrel.
In a separate interview with Gamble on the sidelines of the event, Putin appeared to react defensively to a question about whether he’s given any thought to potential successors.
“What about Mr. [Alexei] Navalny?” Gamble asked the Russian president. “Are you interested in improving his quality of life?”
“The citizen that you’ve mentioned is now in prison,” he said.
Acknowledging that conditions in Russian prisons are “not the best,” Putin said “he’s not alone.”

A face of hatred.
One of the last people on Earth I’d want to piss of is Putin.
She has perma-frown, and that crap never ages well.
I can’t take that Gamble.
She gets 6.3 for looks. Not ugly. Above ordinary, and does a good job with what she has. Personality is probably a 3 at best, given her required politics.
Very beautiful woman? She ain’t no tennis star.
Obviously, Putin’s taste is all in his mouth.
Lots of alternate headlines:
Pretty Girls Hear Only What They Want to Hear.
Woman Botches Message Trying to Rephrase Man’s Nuanced Statement.
Double Entenders are Doubly Confusing.
Lefty Deliberately Mis-Quotes to Fit Agenda.
Woman Feigns Ignorance and Stupidity Trying to Undermine Point not Raised by Man.
He was being kind.
That said, the older I get, the more attractive women become.
Putin said: “A beautiful woman, pretty. I tell her one thing, and she says something completely different. As if she didn’t hear what I said.”
Women do this all the time, not just the pretty ones.
It’s called “resting bitch face”.
IT’S HEDLY!!
Not that hot on the Russian scale. Putin is surrounded by ladies at least 5 pts above her best day. She is a generously awarded 5 on the Russian chart.
“A beautiful woman, pretty. I tell her one thing, and she says something completely different. As if she didn’t hear what I said,” Putin said, turning to the male members of the audience.”
I like this guy, lol.
Not Hadley Lamarr, to be sure.
Putin was being very kind.
I would give her an 8 because if she was smiling she would naturally be rated higher.
There is a reason why beauty contestants don’t frown on the stage, it deducts from points because nobody has an initial positive reaction to an angry face.
As children most angry faces that we saw probably came with a beating or some sort of punishment so we see angry faces negatively.
Brief memory flashbacks confirm your observation.
Useful idiots being played by the King of Communists, and they don’t like it. Xi Jinping also pulls similar things with foreign media.
I'm an old lady, so women aren't much of an attraction to me. And young men don't have an appeal to me because I'm old enough to be their mother or grandmother.
