Bloated Vladimir Putin video heightens theories Russian leader is sick
NY Post ^ | 4/22/2022 | Lee Brown

New video shows Vladimir Putin looking bloated and awkwardly gripping a table for support — heightening suspicions that the warmongering president is seriously ill.

The footage released by the Kremlin Thursday shows Putin, 69, tightly gripping the table with his right hand as soon as he sits down — then keeping it there throughout the nearly 12-minute clip.

Putin sits with hunched shoulders and regularly fidgets and taps his toes during the briefing with his defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, who is also rumored to be suffering health woes.

The clip shows Putin and his key adviser “both depressed & seemingly in bad health,” tweeted Anders Aslund, a Swedish economist who was previously an adviser to Russia.

Former UK politician Louise Mensch said the footage appeared to back earlier reports that “Vladimir Putin has Parkinson’s disease.”

“Here you can see him gripping the table so that his shaking hand is not visible but he cannot stop his foot from tapping,”

I was expecting something more than what I got. He mildly taps his feet and grips the table? That’s it? FFS, I do both of those things and don’t have Parkinson’s.

Sorry to hear. Terrible way to go but there are few good ways. The time for quick and violent in glory is gone for so many of us.

Trying not to be macabre but I wonder what form my end will take, we all do. You probably know this by now. At least that is settled.

I read a lot of modern war history with the aim of digging into the why of things and trying to understand the frame-of-mind at the time and after, looking for answers to questions of like why was Korea the forgotten war?

In these studies I am looking for and trying to recall such a time of terrible leadership as this, at least in the current era.

Pootie is bloated from swallowing so much of Saint Zel's Ukraine.

He should cut back a little, or wait between courses.  winking face

“Maybe he’s just pulling his chair foward.”

No! He’s hurting too you know? Just like the 50,000 Russian families of the casualties to date. He is concerned and grieving too, see. He is having serious meeting with his Defense Chief. A suffering, grieving leader with the man who has failed all of Russia. Even Putin is a casualty in his presence.

Look at his ankles. He is not bloated from steroids because there is little to no swelling in the ankles.
