Vladimir Putin has today been seen with red eyes and a mystery bruise on his hand, fuelling further speculation of his deteriorating health.
The Russian despot, today seen calling a 15-year-old girl from Ukraine's Donetsk region called Arina Porkhal as part of the New Year Tree of Wishes nationwide charity campaign, was seen with weary eyes and bruise on his hand.
It is not known why the 72-year-old Russian leader has this bruise, but he is believed to have long been in ailing health.
In November, strange footage showed Putin's legs twitching uncontrollably at a public event yesterday amid rumours he has Parkinson's disease.
The 72-year-old Russian leader appeared unable to control his movements as he gave an hour-long speech at a podium in Astana, Kazakhstan.
In the clip, the twitching seems to start in his left foot before affecting both his legs and feet.
Putin then took a wider stance but continued to rock back onto his heels and move his legs.

ROFL!! Since Zelensky thinks he’s such a miracle worker, why doesn’t he heal himself?? Oh wait, I forgot...money laundering is a serial criminal’s career.
From the comments:
Charles JohnstonFor this, an article repeating the same-old-same-old Glaswegian and posted by one who also does the same-old-same-old routine. A Scot notices. He is not alone.

3 hours agoLooks more like natural ageing to me. Also, it looks like yet more fake news propaganda.
ROFL!!
Glitch is older than Putin and not half as intelligent. Lucky us.
😂😂🤣🤣
Good one!
Lololol!
Nah. All he needs is an audience of lickspittle Zeepers looking on.
When Biden shat himself at the Vatican, fact checkers said it was unsubstantiated.
When he stumbles around and can’t find the stage exit or White House enterence, the US MSM said little.
When Biden mumbles incoherently, the MSM says little.
Falling up the stairs, on stage, repeatedly, and we get articles about how he’s “sharp as a tack” by our MSM.
When he does the leg lift and let’s one rip right before a British Royal, there is little in the news and the fact checkers again claim it’s unproven: https://nypost.com/2021/11/07/camilla-parker-bowles-keeps-talking-about-biden-fart-at-cop26/ (one of the few articles)
Putin had aspergers already in 2014 according to our MSM: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/02/04/putin-aspergers-syndrome-study-pentagon/22855927/
There is such a thing as “Propoganda” as well, state or government influence in the media with the intent to change perceptions and thereby behaviors, but it’s not he Russians we need to be worrying about!
You're right. I've been telling the Zeepers for quite a while now, that they should be more fearful of their own government at this point in time, than the Russians.
The digital age has made censorship and propaganda easier.
In the US today you have:
1.) The government meddling in the news media, basically hiring (paying) for journalists. What folks don’t realize is that programs like Mockingbird never went away. Names change, funding gets obfuscated, who’s on the payroll is hidden, but you still have this today: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Mockingbird
2.) Meddling in Hollywood: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2022/may/26/top-gun-for-hire-why-hollywood-is-the-us-militarys-best-wingman#:~:text=It%20is%20no%20secret%20that,jumped%20by%20500%25%20that%20year.
3.) Controlling what comes into the country: Global Engagement Center, The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA)...
4.) Using access to pressure the MSM for more positive coverage. You see this with imbeded journalists or the White House Press Corps.
5.) Broad powers that allow government to keep people in the dark using the classification system.
6.) Weak FOIA rights, undermined by every buerocracy trying to hide derogatory information.
7.) A few media conglomerates (about 6 of them) which are all Democrat aligned except one and why a Democrat President like Biden or Obama get favorable coverage.
8.) Direct links between government and the news as well as social media: https://nypost.com/2023/07/10/fbi-facilitated-social-media-takedown-requests-made-by-ukrainian-spy-agency-report/
9.) A plethora of government run PR folks in every agency and levels, radio and TV channels, social media coordinators, and publications which at this point account for nearly 1% of the entire federal labor force.
In such a world, when all the powers align, meaning Democrats and Republicans are in agreement, and you have a president that is favored by the MSM and social media (aka a Democrat), finally you have corporate and government interests being served, you get a one sided avalanche. Examples of such are covid, J6, the 2020 elections, or today Ukraine.
Dissenting ideas are censored as dis or mis information, fact checkers question facts but validate speculation, the term enemy propaganda is used to question dissenting ideas, or the inflammatory label is used to censor speech.
***That is the consequence of giving government the power and capabilities to censor and propagandize, allowing monopolies or oligopolies to hog the information channels, none of which ever should have happened.***
We have government propaganda just like the rest of them, even though we are quick to point the finger at others and use that term “propaganda” as if it disqualifies whatever the other side says.
Transparency, a term we once used often is gone. Between an over used classification system, weak FOIA rights, and a MSM that is in bed with government and or the political parties, you no longer have a “watchdog media.”
This isn't the US of 1960. The US of 2020 is a brave new world where politicians decide to label a protest as an “insurrection” and the MSM will go along with what is a witch hunt against those questioning an election outcome.
That's why I'm glad I'm on the tail-end of my life, and hopefully won't live to see this country turned into a third-world $hit hole.
Yeah,
The not so eloquent way to put it.
I do not see this problem fixing itself.
The self correcting mechanisms of our republic no longer work.
The federal buerocarcy overrides the states. Many people are addicted to government cheese (we all are in some way) and no one wants to rock the boat. The press no longer does their job in keeping people informed.
Today we have the once dreaded police state (large scale organized opposition is difficult) liberals talked about but don’t mind because it’s a leftist / ultra liberal police state. Finally, you have a public education system (by the government) which of course preaches how more government is a great idea.
The US is already a mere slight shade of different from a Euro style social democracy and things will only get worse long term.
When President Trump leaves office, the RATS will once again try to steal the election from J.D. Vance, if he or another Republican is the Presidential candidate, and they will likely succeed. I have no hope for this country once Trump is gone. I hope I'm wrong, but the evil in this country hasn't been eradicated, and like a cancer in remission, it will return with a vengeance.
Trump is an anomaly.
You can’t keep someone like that down.
He’s smart, independently wealthy, able to take a beating, already has celebrity status, knows how the media operates, has what appears as unlimited energy.
How do you control a guy like that? This is someone that acts independently in a world where everyone is on the take and bridled.
