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

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.

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.

As Zelenskyy is busted for hiding pipeline sabotage and Germany is cutting him off.

Putin ringing hands is definitely a huge win for Zelenskyy...

“Putin doesn’t look sick to me.”

Oh well. If he dies, he dies. Someone worse might replace him. We don’t know who would succeed him.

You two should get a room together and screw around watching reruns of zelensky playing piano. That’s the only way you zeepers are ever going to be happy.

Didn’t you say you want a block feature? Yet you keep bothering me.

Guess you’re an infatuated faggot.

But that possibility isn’t as dramatic.

The Ukrainians deployed that thing, an American expat, to threaten those outside the Ukraine with retribution in a weird, psychotic rambling dialog. I recall it said no one is safe because the Ukrainian patriots could get them, and it seemed to read a script meant to spread fear, instead of the disgust it actually spread. At the time, some speculated it was hinting about harm coming to Tucker Carlson for his remarks. It is a transvestite or trans - no one wanted to find out which.

[JoSixChip]

Didn’t you say you want a block feature?

I did indeed. But like your desires to play catcher for zelensky, it's never gona happen.

[Williams]

Why try to reason with him? can’t you see the whole crew of them never discuss substance, they constantly tell you exactly what’s going to happen (inaccurately) and they go on and on about gays which has approximately 0% to do with this war.
Just a bunch of hyenas.

[Williams]

Do not post to me again. Ever. Thank you.

As per Jim Robinson’s policy.

I thought JoSixChip had been zotted weeks ago. She-he is a bully.

Do not post to me again. Ever. Thank you.

You don't post, I'll have no reason to post to you, easy peasy. Other then that, I'll respond to any post I want to.

Never happened.

Not a thing about the USA. It’s all Russia, Russia, Ukraine, Putin. What a sad life.

Is that the satanic person (Post #2) who does things like spirit cooking? One of Zelensky’s friends?

[MayflowerMadam]

Oh well. I can dream, can’t I?

You're proof that Deep State operatives, at least the lower level ones like yourself, aren't very bright.

The Ukrainian incursion into Russia's Kursk oblast has even worse consequences for Ukraine than had been known so far.

Over the last six months, in revenge for Ukrainian attacks on Russian infrastructure, especially oil refineries, the Russian forces created serious damage on Ukraine's electricity network. Nearly every conventional power generation facility in Ukraine has been damaged. Half of Ukraine's 18 Gigawatts of electricity generation capacity has been taken offline. The damaged power stations were often also used to provide heating to large blocks of Soviet type apartments. Without power and heating it will be a very difficult winter for many people in Ukraine.

There was interest on both sides to stop the campaigns against the other sides infrastructure. An agreement about it was in the making and was possible. But, as Washington Post reports, the Ukrainian attack on Kursk blew it apart:

Ukraine and Russia were set to send delegations to Doha this month to negotiate a landmark agreement halting strikes on energy and power infrastructure on both sides, diplomats and officials familiar with the discussions said, in what would have amounted to a partial cease-fire and offered a reprieve for both countries.

But the indirect talks, with the Qataris serving as mediators and meeting separately with the Ukrainian and Russian delegations, were derailed by Ukraine’s surprise incursion into Russia’s western Kursk region last week, according to the officials.

...

The diplomat familiar with the talks said that Qatar has been discussing the arrangement for an energy strike moratorium with Kyiv and Moscow for the past two months. The official said the two sides agreed to a summit in Doha with just minor details left to be worked out.

“After Kursk, the Russians balked,” another person familiar with the talks said.

Instead of its senseless attack on Kursk Ukraine could have had an agreement that would make it possible to get through the winter without many blackouts and other interruptions. It blew that chance.

The moral uplift for Ukrainian forces created by the attack on Kursk is already waning. Russia has not pulled any of its troops involved in the attacks in the east to defend Kursk. It has instead pulled reserves from elsewhere. One of the hoped for effects of the Kursk incursion is thereby not happening.

I forget whether the thing in the photo is Satanic, but you may be right about that.

Ukraine’s Transgender Spokesperson Returns to Duty After Suspension, Announces Book Deal

Ukraine’s controversial transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo has claimed to have been reinstated in the role representing the Territorial Defence Forces (TDF) after being suspended last month.

“I continue in the role of TDF spokesperson. Truth, trust, and humanity will always prevail over accusations, allegations, and artificial intelligence,” Ashton-Cirillo said on Tuesday.

The American citizen, born as Michael John Cirillo before ‘transitioning’, went on to claim to have signed two book contracts with Potomac Books publishing, with the first volume set to be released in the summer of next year.

“The last weeks of allegations and accusations have created new and unexpected opportunity to bring the on-the-ground truth and facts of Ukraine to the global community while putting to rest all the Russian lies, propaganda, gossip and rumours that have surrounded me,” the former freelance journalist said of the upcoming book.

Is that thing a man dressed up and talking like a woman?

I believe so. Recently there was some LGBTQ+ promotional stuff going on the  Ukraine (wokeness) and looking a that weird person his/its hands, forearms width of shoulders and complete lack of ...anything feminine (IMHO) indicate it's something like a gender neutral or its pronouns are it/they etc.

There's something psychopathic about this person - I wonder if this is a neo Nazi. It's the attempt at sinister posturing that has me wondering. At first glance I thought it was a parody mocking Zelensky by putting a blond wig on actor to deliver this rabid screed in a faux movie-style 'trans-menace' voice. I managed to capture the entire transcript of the message at the bottom of the gif below.The video 'start' is marked by a few seconds of the title "Russia Hates The Truth".

By the way, that's an American who registered as a Democrat in 2022, according to soem FReeper digs here (69 and 95).

As someone else said on this thread - it does sound like they   may go after Tucker and using this theatrical trash is likely meant to give cover to the CIA.

So it's going to have to be an all out hit-man war on America because the majority of Americans don't want to fund the proxy war and that's what gets you called a 'Putin propagandist' around here.

Threatening the citizens of the nation which has contributed most of the money throughout this proxy war is a clear sign they are winning. Supposedly when they win, they'll have even more time on their hands to lord it over us, hunt us down, and tell us what we can say and can't say about them.

Maybe Biden will use this threat to push more American taxpayer funds at Zelensky ASAP to "keep Americans safe." Recall the neo Nazis Biden shipped to the US, per journalist Laura Loomer, who got a call from one of them.

Whatever - despite this and the other threats by Zelensky, the Ukrainians/NATO handlers DO expect America to keep sending them all our money. Did you see this earlier today?

That a Threat? Zelensky Warns Ukrainians in Europe Could Act ‘Unpredictably’ if Western Aid Is Cut

"Don’t push Ukrainians into a corner by cutting Western support for the war or else the millions of refugees who are presently “behaved well” in Europe may start to act unpredictably, President Zelensky has said."

ransomnote: What I want to know is where are all of FRee Republic's pro Ukrainian zealots? Why aren't they on this thread denouncing threats made on American lives unless and free speech we do what Zelensky tells us? They always claim to be staunch American taxpayers. If they don't come out strong on threats like these, they will lose more of their 'prestige' on FR.
