Reminds me of that creepy little man from the old Twin Peaks TV show.
“Bloated face, hand strangely gripping the the arm chair, nervous foot movement, overall disfigured. He is dissolving.”
Whatever semblance of a family remains around Putin should try to do something nice for him this Christmas - it will probably be his last.
So tragic how many innocents he is taking out with him.

“European Parliament recognises Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism and as a state which uses means of terrorism.
Resolution was approved with 494 votes in favour, 58 against and 44 abstentions, during the monthly plenary session in Strasbourg.” (Wednesday, 23 November)
This vote does not carry legal effects, but it moves it on to the European Union, where such a vote would carry legal effects. Today’s vote shows that overwhelming agreement already exists.
I believe that the Russian attacks on the Ukrainian energy infrastructure are driving this. Putin is not only burning the bridges to Kherson, he is also burning Russia’s bridges back into the civilized world.
The West is preparing for a post Putin world.
Russia’s conventional Military can wreak havoc for another six months or so, given another big wave of mobilization. But after that, it is doomed for a hard landing, as long as the West holds firm.
Send more Artillery! (...and now, more Air Defense too!)
He can’t dissolve fast enough.
