Feeling the pressure Vladimir? Putin shows his stress over Ukraine war by wringing his hands in meeting with shame-faced officials after Zelensky's troops invaded Russian soil
Daily Mail ^ | 8/17/2024 | Will Stewart and Jon Brady

Vladimir Putin is feeling the stress from Russia's invasion of Ukraine - as he is seen wringing his hands in a meeting with his top officials after Volodymyr Zelenskyy's troops bit back and made a counter-incursion into the country.

The dictator, 71, was in a security council session on the crisis he faces due to Ukraine's dramatic invasion of the border areas of Kursk region.

His very public hand-wringing and fidgeting came as he was told earlier this week about how Russia had lost territory to Kyiv troops and - at the time - more than two dozen settlements, a figure far higher now.

-snip-

As he was told the news, Putin was seen with a solemn expression on his face, fidgeting with a pen and absent-mindedly rubbing his wrists. He occasionally appeared to grimace as he was told the worst information.

Such non-verbal gestures are seen by experts as reflecting anxiety, stress, or indecision.

They may show the dictator is facing an internal conflict and a lack of confidence, or feels fear, or insecurity. He may be seeking to calm himself in an act of self-soothing.

Putin is more often seen strongly gripping a table with one hand, which could also be a reflection of tension and anxiety. As such, the hand-wringing is unusual for the Russian leader.

During the meeting Putin showed some strange facial movements, at several points appearing to bite his lip, appearing exasperated at what he was being told by his officials.

“...don’t include the pic of Putin kissing the little kid’s tummy...”

He didn’t just kiss the kid, he raised his shirt to kiss the bare skin on his torso. If that vid doesn’t creep you out then you are a freak. Biden is creepy. Pedophile Putin is creepy. We would have more evidence of Putin’s weirdness and corruption, but he murdered Boris Nemtsov in the dead center of Moscow to make a point to others who were exposing his crimes.

Absolutely correct.

Freepers against the invasion of Ukraine by Putin are well aware to BEWARE the Russian agitprop ‘Kool-Aid’ served by those in opposition to freedom for Ukraine.

Here we go again...

“His grandmother Valentina, who pushed him (Nikita Konkin) in front of the Russian president, recalled the excitement of the day, and said the president was “very highly regarded” in their family.

“Nikita was reportedly so besotted with the kiss at the time that he refused to wash his stomach afterwards, according to Russian daily newspaper Izvestia, which tracked the boy down after the kiss occurred.

“He reportedly told Izvestia that the pair had mutual affection for one another, and he wishes to be president someday.”

Putin is the President of Russia, therefore, in the eyes of most Russians, Putin is their Father (just as they looked upon the Czars as their Fathers), so looking through their eyes, we see a Father showing affection to his Children. It’s a symbolic gesture, nothing perverted.

If globohomo Zelensky kissed a boy’s tummy on camera, zeepers would claim it’s a cherished, entirely wholesome, Slavic tradition.

That boy was too old for that. You are a creep. I know plenty of Russians and Ukrainians and that vid is thought very disturbing by Slavic viewers who are not deep in the sauce.

“I know plenty of Russians and Ukrainians and that vid is thought very disturbing”

Absolutely true. That is why Russian news outlets immediatelt tried to spin it.

But, Putin made it worse when questioned about it.

Vladimir Putin [In quotes: Putin webcast]

“Nikita was among a group of tourists visiting the Kremlin.

In between answering questions about North Korea’s missiles, Iran’s nuclear program and relations with the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin answered what was for many observers a more burning question:

What compelled him to kiss the bare stomach of a young boy in a Kremlin courtyard?

Footage of the June 28 incident was broadcast on all Russian television stations, quickly became fodder for Internet chat rooms and topped the Moscow tabloids the day after. The question was one of the most popular among the thousands e-mailed in for the Web chat, hosted by the British Broadcasting Corp. and Russian search engine Yandex.ru.

In the footage, Putin, 53, is shown walking up to a small crowd of tourists in a Kremlin courtyard and crouching down in front of the boy, who appears to be five or six years old. As the Russian president talks with Nikita for several seconds, he tugs at the boy’s shirt before finally lifting it up and kissing him on his bare stomach.

‘He seemed to me very independent, very serious, but at the same time a boy is always vulnerable.

He was very sweet. I’ll be honest: I felt an urge to squeeze him like a kitten, and that led to the gesture that I made.’

The kiss triggered intense speculation in the Russian and foreign media, with questions being raised about the president’s motivation.”

“The Russians launched their largest ever missile and drone attack against Ukraine in the hopes to get through Ukraine’s air defense systems and successfully strike civilian power and water services.
Ukraine has developed their own long range jet drone that they have begun using on targets inside of Russia.”

Since Russia was reported to have set up strong defenses at the Kursk/Ukraine border which were not encountered by the Ukraine invaders, one wonders which oligarch or oligarchs, including top military personnel ran off with the allocated funds. No wonder Putin is pixxed. Tune in for window flying Russians, the most interesting but least effective form of Russian aircraft.

ANKE69: "This perverted pig running around naked in grocery stores and in the the street, in front of kids is a-ok with you, correct?"

You're talking about "He-man Putin" of course,
with 5 children by three different women, plus uncounted other girlfriends, and inappropriate public behavior with children:

As for Volodymyr Zelensky,

  1. His Kvartal-95 satirical comedy group formed in 1998, when Zelensky was 20 years old.

  2. In 2003 Zelensky married his high-school sweetheart, Olena Kiyashko.
    They have two children, now aged 20 and 11.

  3. By all accounts they are happily married.

And, to your charges, meaning Zelensky:

ANKE69: "This perverted pig running around naked in grocery stores and in the the street, in front of kids..."
It's true that some of Kvartal-95 satirical comedy routines were pretty outrageously funny, but I've seen no evidence to support your claims here.
Here is a key element in how Zelensky became Ukraine's president:

You’re that thick that you equate a video of a naked man, gyrating though a store filled with with people, INCLUDING NAKED KIDS, to still pix of a grown man, standing shirtless with adults?

Yes, mommy’s boy, you are that thick.
