Putin and His Allies Mocked for Meeting at Absolutely Massive Table
Newsweek ^ | 6.29.2022

Posted on 06/29/2022 7:29:07 PM PDT by libh8er

Russian President Vladimir Putin and four allies have been mocked for meeting at an oversized table in Turkmenistan one day after Group of Seven (G7) leaders met at an average-sized table in Germany.

Putin met with Turkmen President Serdar Berdimuhamedov, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, Kazakhstani President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev and Iranian President Sayyid Ebrahim Raisi for the sixth iteration of the Caspian Summit in the Turkmenistan capital of Ashgabat on Wednesday. Leaders including President Joe Biden completed the annual G7 summit, which was hosted by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, in Bavaria on Tuesday.

Photos of the Caspian Summit quickly circulated online, with many mocking the meeting's extra-large table compared to the smaller table used at the recent G7 Summit. Putin was also mocked for meeting with foreign leaders and members of his own government at an unusually large table in Moscow earlier this year.

"Above - the G7 summit. 9 people at the table. Below - the Caspian summit (Putin is participating). 5 people at the table," Anton Gerashchenko, advisor to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, tweeted on Wednesday alongside a collage showing the two summits.

Only idiot Biden kept his jacket on. All other guys, incl. Boris and Macron, removed theirs. That is because Biden did not get large print directions from his staff to remove his jacket.

I originally thought this was the bee.

I have vague memories of doing dinner with Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus long ago. Iirc the table was so long the servants used golf carts.

Maybe the table isn’t really that big. Maybe the people are just really tiny.

If Putin is ill, he may need to keep his distance because of
a lowered level of immunity.

He could probably make this a request, and the others
shouldn’t get upset over it.

I don’t like the guy, but this is standard practice for
people at risk.

Brilliant! Great post!

I read the headline and thought of this:

Brandon is old. Feeble. Incapacitated. Incontinent. Poor circulation, especially to the brain pan. He’s cold ALL the time. Hence keeping his jacket on. ;)
