Concerns over Putin’s well-being were first raised earlier this week when he postponed a trip to Kazakhstan for talks with the country’s president, Nursultan Nazarbayev, and his Belarusian counterpart, Alexander Lukashenko. A source in the Kazakh government told Reuters that the visit was cancelled because Putin had fallen ill.

Putin has not been seen in public since a meeting and press conference with the Italian prime minister, Matteo Renzi, on 5 March, where he appeared healthy.

Hey guys, give the poor man a break. Invading countries isn’t easy, even if you win.

I think the Fres world,espechially Western Europe had best keep their eyes on the Russian bear.Somethings not right and now would be a good time for Vladimir to reclaim parts of the old Soviet Union.

He’ll have to do it while we have a thirty pound dirtbag running the show.He(Putin)probably knows that Obama will do nothing to defend Wester Europe.He sure hasn’t helped Ukrain.

Time will tell.

Who knows what's up?

What we do know is that 210Po is amazing stuff and that denizens of the Kremlin have access to it.

This is a regime that poisons its enemies.

It’s not a big stretch to believe that somebody might slip a pinch of polonium into his tea.

Karma?

The problem with the Putin photos, is that they are posed and fake.
