Did he shit his pants or something?

That's Vladimir Putin, not Joe Biden silly.

I know they are both world leaders, well one is, but they shouldn't be hard to distinguish.

Yep, definitely shitting his pants here:

I know. Vladimir Putin obviously shitting his pants. Boy, did he go downhill fast.

The press always goes out of their way to make the devil dujour look as bad and as goofy as possible.





It's an old trick with our bullshit "news" media propaganda. The independent media has recently picked up doing this now, just grab a video, find a second where their victim looks stupid in a single frame, single step through it, find the most goofy frame. You can do this with anybody. The media has been doing this to demonize anybody that they want to make look bad.

I have to admit that with Biden its pretty easy, wasn't too hard with Trump either since he's so animated.

So Joe is not demented, it's just press made him look like he is?

Putin looks like he is in severe pain (like 11 on the 1-10 scale). He's probably got terminal cancer. There are stories out there about his condition, although I can't remember off the bat.

So go ahead, haters gonna hate. You'll all get your wish that Putin will die in agonizing pain. Yay for you.

Remember the Kim Jung Un is dead / in a vegetative state? Take it with a grain of salt.

I'm pointing out it's pretty easy to get a picture of anybody looking silly with video.

Putin is annoyed after discovering all of the intelligence he got was bullshit and all the military capabilities his generals claimed was a lie.

Biden on the other hand is unaware of what is going on around him, he takes directions from the Easter Bunny.

I don't think Russia is losing this war, just because my government is claiming they are.

They claimed the US was winning the war in Afghanistan for nearly 20 years. There is nothing credible about the United States now. Nothing at all.

This was was instigated by the United States - just as Chechnya was, just as S. Ossetia/Georgia was, just as Kazakhstan was. The people in Chechnya, S. Ossetia and Georgia know this now. The US funded anti-Russia groups (didn't matter who they were) and encouraged them to fight a fruitless war against Russia. This time, after the US overthrew Ukraine, they beefed up the military from around 60,000 people to 300,000 in 8 years. Zelensky is forcing fighting age men to fight. They are out of weaponry, they no longer have an airforce, all they have is anti-aircraft and soldiers and are being fed arms by NATO.

I think Ukraine doesn't have a chance - but who knows though? I might be wrong. Time will tell. It doesn't really matter what I expect. I didn't expect Russia to attack Ukraine, only to fight in the Donbass region.

Rishwicks made an assumption about how I reach my opinion.

Putin’s own actions of jailing and purging intelligence guys and generals speaks for itself.

How so?

There's no way to even know if it's true. Hell, this might be propaganda from Russia itself to make the West believe they are weak. It could be a feint. There's no truth during a war. Our government you KNOW will lie about it. Remember back in 2005 or so when every other week the "2nd in command of Al Qaeda was killed"? They did that over and over again. Remember when John Ashcroft raised the "terror alert level" whenever the Bush administration had to deal with some small scandal?

Nothing has changed.

I know that the US government will lie CERTAINLY, and that Russia - they really have no reason to give accurate information to the United States in a war they instigated, and if I'm to believe some people's hypothesis, are actually planning the execution of. Nobody really knows. Even in intelligence, information is compartmentalized.

There's even a possibility of something nearly unprecedented - my government could be telling the truth. That would blow my mind, to be honest.

I was somewhat shocked that the video was released as it appears to show him in (what I view as) poor health. See Putin's Health Questioned After Video of Him Gripping Table Circulates
Wonder if they are preparing folks for an (inevitable) transition. Will he go down as the richest man in the world?

@Hugh_Mongous

Why do you hate Putin?

Seriously, not media-talking-point reasons.
