Russia’s despotic President Vladimir Putin has raised fresh health fears after he wheezed and coughed through a dramatic meeting.
Rumours have been swirling for months that Putin is seriously ill, and he did nothing to ease concerns during a testy meeting with mums of soldiers who have been killed in his war with Ukraine.
The dictator tucked into fresh berries and cake with the 'grieving relatives' but seemed to be struggling and uncomfortable.
Words didn’t come easily, clearing his throat often, as he spoke with people who – were it not for him – would still have children, although the true identities of the women are unknown.
The news comes after Putin’s hand appeared off-colour during a meeting with the leader of Cuba, president Miguel Diaz-Canel.
The crowd was carefully selected, invited to his official residence to be told how much he felt the losses of the troops he had never met but sent to fight.
He said: "I would like you to know that, that I personally, and the whole leadership of the country - we share your pain.

Some of the women are understood to have been identified as Putin loyalists by Russian journalists.
On Tuesday (November 22), the allegedly ailing Russian leader was seen gripping onto a chair for dear life and seemed unsteady and his hands seemed a strange colour of purple.

That issue which was “hostile to Russian interests” was Ukraine joining the EU. That was the hill Putin wanted his puppet Yanukovych to die on.
And joining the EU was and is vastly popular in Ukraine.
So Putin was fighting the firmly expressed will of the Ukrainian people, which is ... what? That is plain tyrrany. Putin is a tyrant.
Are you saying that you sympathize with tyrants? That tyrrany us the moral system you prefer?
Exactly. Obama can share some of that, too. I can’t believe the left even tries to drag Trump into all of that. (Well OK, I can because that’s how they operate. Still…)
The international system I support is spheres of influence, to prevent conflict between states if said conflict can cause lots of damage.
In this context, what the “people of Ukraine” (or of Mexico) want is of no importance.
“The left”.
Phooey. I am radically right. I spit on John Locke. I am a De Maistre man. He would have seen through your puffs of vanity, into the core of your sins, into your depraved hearts. Expediency rules you.
“what the “people of Ukraine” (or of Mexico) want is of no importance.”
This is one of your errors (the other is dismissing morality). Ignoring this is a fundamental failure to deal with legitimacy. You will never get a stable system of “spheres of influence” where the peoples involved are unwilling. This is a recipe for perpetual conflict.
LOL - and there you go with the insults. Right on time. The hallmark of the Ukie ankle-nipper crowd.
But hey, another angel just got his wings!
Re insults - you deserve them.
Think of who your friends are - Xi and Putin, the IRGC, Kim Jong-Un, every bad actor on the planet, Orwells vision of the boot crushing a human face forever. Your sympathies are straight out of a bad novel, those with cardboard villains.
But human complexity is overrated. Reality is often closer to a bad novel than great literature.
LOL - I used to think you were more reasonable than the little yip-yappers.
Turns out you’re just another member of their unhinged little pack.
You even make the same nasty, completely wrong (and you know it) accusations. This is what you *all* do when you know you’ve been defeated.
(“She outsmarted me! {stomp! stomp!} My word-twisting and gaslighting techniques were no match for her! How dare she resist my attempts to make her think *my* way! {kick door} {stomp!} I’m gonna accuse her of supporting Putin and Russia! And Iran and North Korea and the Grinch! And Darth Vader! I’ll show *her!* {stomp!} {stick lower lip out} {slam door}”)
So predictable. So funny. 😂
I am not “reasonable” at all.
I refer you again to De Maistre. He distrusted “reason” - for good reasons. As the French Revolution proved, “reason” was no guide to human affairs. Reason is impossible without omniscient, Godlike understanding of every factor and consequence, to run through the infallible divine calculator. Lacking that, in human terms it is really rationalization. And that is a rhetorical technique.
Which brings us back to religion, morality, legitimacy and St. Thomas Aquinas. And hell.
BULLCRAP.
I downloaded the video in 1080p and watched it on the big screen. Not only were his hands NOT BLUE, his nail beds and lips were pink. If he were cyanotic, it would have been first visible in his nail beds or his lips (with the other a close second).
And he cleared his throat ONCE. No hacking or wheezing, no "death rattle" sounds.
Pure CLICKBAIT.
I’m not reading your posts anymore. I’m done with ya. I have better things to do. I already wasted one of the most odious members of your tribe earlier this week.
Run along, now and kindly refrain from pinging me. Thanks!
bttt
It is not hard to see that the photoshop “stretch” feature is used to distort some of these photos of Putin. When the feature is overdone it is easy to see that a photo fraud is at work.
Cut the cheesy fraud because it makes you look really bad and it is insulting.
Please hurry up and die evil man.
😆
Bravo

I agree. You know why all the lockdowns in China? Because Covid testing is now 1.3% of their GDP. And headed to 1.8%

Can’tadian, mind your own Countries business.
I blame Victoria Nuland, Robert Kagan, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, John McCain; and others for the overthrow of the government of Ukraine in 2014 and the installation of a regime hostile to Russian interests on her borders.
And just to show I am impartial, had Russia or China installed an anti-American regime in Mexico for the purpose of bringing a hostile military alliance to our borders, I would have supported the conquest of Mexico and the installation of an American governor in Mexico City.
