Immunodeficient?

DERANGED tyrant Vladimir Putin shed his geeky image with the help of steroids and extensive plastic surgery to become the brute he is today.
Pictures from through the years show the 69-year-old Russian President's transformation from skinny and wrinkled to bloated and bulky, which experts have claimed is down to his expensive procedures.
As Putin's finger rests on the nuclear button, and his troops bombard Ukraine, the extent of his apparent vanity has been laid bare.
Yesterday, former foreign secretary Lord Owen claimed Putin's aggressive Ukrainian invasion was down to his taking steroids, with the medical doctor saying changes in his face made it appear he had been taking the muscle-boosting drugs.
The former Labour MP, 83, told Times Radio: "Look at his face, see how that has changed - he now has an oval face.
"People who said, oh, it's plastic surgery or Botox, I don't believe that at all.
"He's on either anabolic steroids as a bodybuilder - and he's very proud of his muscles and strips to the waist and everything like that - or he's on corticosteroids.
"If you're on these drugs, this gives you this face.
"It reduces your immunity and makes you more vulnerable to Covid.
"This man has been in complete isolation, quite extraordinary, won't see anybody, stays miles away, tremendous pressures.

“Which indicates he’s on a steroid and probably, maybe, a combination of both.
“And we ought to fess up to it, that carries with it, particularly anabolic steroids, bodybuilders, aggressiveness that comes through.
“I think his personality has changed, but don’t believe he’s mad.
“He’s very clever and able, and somebody who you don’t want as an enemy, and he’s ruthless.”
Rumours of Putin’s alleged use of steroids or plastic surgery have been around for years, and one popular joke in Russia goes: “In response to the charge there are no new faces in Russian politics, Vladimir Putin got one.”
In 2019, top UK cosmetic surgeon Gerard Lambe told The Sun Online Putin’s face displayed the signs of cosmetic surgery.
Pictures of a 22-year-old Putin from 1972 show him with much heavier eyelids and fuller lips.
In comparison, more recent images show a much tauter face with thin lips and less visible eyelids.

“Putin’s facial contouring has clearly changed over the years and while our face shape can become thinner with age - his is noticeably wider and plumper,” he said.
“This would largely be down to cheek fillers. I’d say he’s clearly got a dedicated aesthetic surgeon on his team as these fillers were certainly quite subtle to start.
“In images from about seven years ago he certainly looks much more gaunt and craggy but some work has been done to create a youthful, fuller contour with fillers.”
The Russian leader’s love of macho photo opportunities is notorious, whether it be him topless on a horse, hosting public judo sessions, or hunting with machine guns.
A photo of Putin riding a horse shirtless in Siberia’s Tuva region in 2009 became one of the most infamous images of the “strongman” President but was far from a one-off.
That same year, pictures emerged of him fishing shirtless while on a trip with Prince Albert II of Monaco.
In 2011, he was seen riding a Harley-Davidson trike in full leather while in a motorbike convoy with youth organisation The Night Wolves.
The group is extremely controversial owing to its extremely nationalistic and anti-LGBT views and previously fought as Putin’s paramilitary forces in the Donbas occupation in 2014.
I think he’s just getting old.
Immunodeficient?
Yawn.
What's up with the shirtless thing, though? That's a little unusual, isn't it?
When I look in the mirror as a 67 year old it sounds like me.
Biden and 90% of democrat ‘elites’ look like they’ve had ‘work’ too...
Poots is morality-deficient. A bad/dangerous thing to be when one is mortality-prone.
Ever heard of age related decay? Happens to all humans. This is so dumb.
No more so that sniffing little girls' hair, fondling them, or pulling one against your crotch on live TV.
“Gaunt” is never an adjective I would have used to describe Putin.
Ripped would be more like it.
The Sun should be more interested in what drugs President Dementia is jacked up with every day.
They look worse than that.
Pelosi, Feinstein, Waters, etc, all look like the walking dead.
He is over 70. Very few are young looking and escaping the health issues that arise with geezerhood.
I don’t understand why it is such a big issue with what he looks like. Who cares? Yet there is thread after thread devoted to it with the same bot like responses. lol
It seems as of there has been an embargo about this subject for some reason. His change in appearance was stark and immediately evident to me.
Of course, there could be many reasons for this. The Intel Community chatter seems to indicate that he will be undergoing surgery soon. They don’t have a stellar record so we will see what happens.
“with the same bot like responses”
You mean the instant Putard defenses of him like yours? That’s very bizarre to me. It’s as if Putin is their daddy or kinfolk where some feel they must immediately defend him.
This is my understanding,:
There has been a civil war in the eastern part of Ukraine.
Once Covid died down, the civil war flared back up.
The Russian government demanded the Ukrainian irregulars stop fighting the Russian residents and their informal governments. The fighting continued. The informal governments declared their formal status, allowing them to request foreign (i.e. Russian Federation) help. The ‘help’ came in the firm of the invasion.
Bear in mind the 1990 USSR breakup originated from self-declarations such as Lithuania and Ukraine.
Biden probably gets the best dementia drug(s).
Obviously I don’t want Medicare Part B to become too expensive because of such low impact drugs.
I wonder how the people in those areas would “declare” now? And did Lviv and Odessa “declare” their independence? Because they are getting missiles attacks every day—and they are hundreds of miles away.
The whole “civil war” premise doesn’t stand up to the least bit of scrutiny.
