I don’t think you were trying to deceive us. I was just questioning the photo. It just looks a little “off” to me.
“It just looks a little “off” to me.”
Little Pukin looks a bit “off”.
I haven’t lingered on his health issues that much in my daily war updates. But he does look bloated, has put on weight, seen limping in videos, grasps chairs when seated and has odd leg movements.
The photo of Putin shows zero results on a Tin Eye search. It’s either a very new picture just posted in the last few hours or it is of questionable provenance.
Just saying.
I also thought the head looked a little enlarged, and that the legs seemed a little reduced.
It might be enhanced in the photo (by the publishers, not Speedy), or it might be some muscle wasting, causing the head to slump forward, and the thighs to thin out.
