VLADIMIR Putin appeared swollen as he issued a warning about Russia’s potential use of nuclear weapons.
The Russian tyrant, who is rumoured to be “critically ill”, also gave a chilling update on the war in Ukraine, which he said could last for a long time.
Putin’s public appearances during the invasion of Ukraine have shown him out of breath, stumbling over his words, or looking exhausted.
His alleged health issues hit a new low after it emerged that he apparently soiled himself during a fall at his official residence.
Speaking at a meeting of his own Human Rights Council, Putin said the threat of nuclear war is “on the rise”.
"We have the most advanced weapons, but we do not want to wave it around,” he said.
Fears Putin could use nuclear weapons have been heightened since he forcibly drafted 300,000 reservists in a bid to revive his disastrous Ukraine war in September.
As he made the announcement, he said Russia “will use all the means at our disposal to defend Russia and our people” adding “this is not a bluff”.
Since then it has personally overseen chilling nuke drills which rehearsed wiping Britain and the US off the map.
In his latest address, Putin also said the Russian army could be fighting in Ukraine for a long time, but he saw "no sense" in mobilising additional soldiers at this point.
"As for the duration of the special military operation, well, of course, this can be a long process," Putin said, using his preferred term for Russia's invasion, begun in February.
The Russian leader has rarely discussed the likely duration of the war, although he boasted in July that Russia was just getting started.

Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin is due to take part in a meeting of the Supreme Eurasian Economic Council in Bishkek. The visit to Bishkek will take place against the backdrop of the collapsing CSTO. The lack of desire to be a member of the CSTO is expressed not only by Armenia and Kazakhstan, but also by Kyrgyzstan.

Upon his return from Bishkek, Putin will have a simple surgical operation. The fall from the stairs last week as a result of which the president received a bruised tailbone, as we talked about, did not pass without a trace and caused new problems not directly related to the bruise. The operation will be performed by an experienced surgeon-proctologist, who already took part in the examination of Putin earlier this week. According to preliminary estimates of experts, thanks to modern equipment and methods, the operation will take from 10 to 30 minutes, and the doctor's supervision will be needed within 3-4 hours after the operation, followed by monitoring for 2 weeks. To work, if everything is in order, Putin will be able to return in a day. In general, Putin found himself adventures on the railway. POO literally and figuratively.
He’s dying... again?
Dang he’s been dying since March. More miraculous that Hillary’s recovery from pneumonia.
As 500-800+ Ukies continue to be killed in action DAILY.....
I hope to make it through Christmas at least…all that good food!!!
How was prison, Scott?
‘Ukrainian soldier complain that the Russian Armed Forces destroyed a convoy with equipment and personnel. Only two survived. They don’t know where to go and what to do.’

And now he's sending Ulrainian cannon fodder into the very same place he wouldn't go to.

That would be a fantastic find.
9th time.
It’s probably due to steroids.
He looks fine to me. 😐
Will both sides in this nearly-dead/just-fine debate hate me if I point out that he is not behaving like one concerned about meeting his maker?
Most people in the USA look swollen. Also, many old guys do tend to put on some weight.
He is Russian. He probably is hitting the Wadka a bit too much. In short, hard to tell whether he is ill or just Russian. Neither state seeming to be a healthy proposition.
Honestly, he looks better and healthier than Biden and King Tampax combined.
