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.

Simple example. The article on this thread has to do with Putin going on tv and eringing his hands over Russia being invaded. I happen to think it’s all theater but no matter.

How many of them are here, posting about Zelensky being gay, making fun of others here as gay or liking gays, insulting people as stupid, calling people names including “Zeepers” on and on.

Recently, they started following people to threads about the Trump election, and launching the exact same insults there.

One way or the other, they are here as disruptors so that conservatives on Free Republic cannot discuss any issue.

Do not post to me fourth request.

Jim Robinson himself said this is a reasonable policy.

Stop bothering me. You are not here to discuss anything or even to express opinions. You are using FR strictly to harass people.

Leave me alone.

You idiot, you're the one that keeps posting to me. Stop posting and I'll have no reason to post to you. It's not that complicated.

Careful Karl, you’re gonna give Williams a heart attack. He starts having palpitations every time he sees an image of his globohomo god, Zelensky.

Earlier today he commented on the gif I posted of Zelensky squirming around in a revealing leather outfit and stilettos :

“Yes real athletic men can wear very little and dance up a storm.

I saw Zelensky, his wife and kids in Canada.

As you know, he’s extremely masculine and his wife is stunning.”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4258990/posts?page=42#42

“Zelensky was a dancer in great shape and able to dance around naked. No comparison to Don Knotts.

Z was athletic and his voice is embarrassingly deep.

I don’t really care, but that’s just reality, which is why the propaganda of going on about him as this wimpy fag is just dishonest.”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4258990/posts?page=55#55

Sounds like true love to me.

It’s the same old, same old lie.
The truth could bite them in the arse and they still wouldn’t have a damn clue.
It’s always more fun harassing the patriotic Americans.
According to them, we’re Communist Russian trolls.
I can’t believe this zeeper crap is still OK around here.

Glad you’re intelligent enough to repeat my statements of fact.

You’re really out there with that gay nonsense.

Every word I stated about Zelensky is accurate.

No one is harassing you, bozo.

You can’t believe intelligent people still exist here.

Try discussing the issues instead of your fantasies.

I think Putin is coming to a breaking point. Thousands of Russian mothers are not happy that their teenage boys have been sent to the front, have been given no training and are being shot at or taken prisoner. Putin can survive the death of thousands of prisoners but the anger of the Russian mother may bring him down.

I didn’t know you and he are Siamese twins!

Zelensky does an excellent job of concealing you under his clothes.

I think some of them are paid to cause disruption on American Conservative sites.

Why else would they sit at their keyboards posting anti-American propaganda for hours on end?

Huh?? Was I posting to you or do you just around again harassing conservative, patriotic FReepers??
Now run along and find another Zelensky thread, where you can drool all over his masculine, muscular, body. 😅🤣
Btw, I have more muscles than that wet noodle and I’m a woman.

You really do have a problem with reading comprehension. I posted: “I think some of them are paid to cause disruption on American Conservative sites.”

The operative word is “some”, but if the shoe fits, wear it.

You had this same problem a few hours ago with a post by Fuzz when you overlooked the sarcasm symbol. You sent him a nasty comment as well for which you later apologized:

To: Fuzz

F off and don’t ever post to me again.
Scumbag with your stupid insults

Do not post to me. Thank you.

Slow down and read carefully or maybe you need new glasses.
