Putin got confused about the age of the child of a deputy mayor during a discussion at the Kremlin, sparking social media comments about the state of the Russian president's health. Unproven rumors have persisted about Putin's condition since the start of his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. These have included that the Russian president has cancer, Parkinson's disease, and even dementia. The Kremlin has insisted Putin is in good health. However, adding to the speculation was footage from Wednesday's meeting of the group "Russia—the Land of Opportunities," a non-profit set up in 2018 to help citizens develop business ideas. The clip tweeted by Uliana Yapparova, a blogger who tweets about Russia and Ukraine, shows Putin speaking with Ivan Shtokman, who had given Putin a potted history of his journey from working in a bakery to building an IT business. The transcript and video of the full meeting lasting more than 90 minutes was also available on the Kremlin website. Wearing a military uniform, Shtokman described how success in a management competition had propelled him to deputy mayor of the city of Nizhny Novgorod where his brief included IT, tourism, and developing businesses.

You just won FreeRepublic for the day.
How many articles has Newsweek written about Puppet Biden’s dementia?

IBMM
I know last year he beat terminal cancer four or five times. Maybe it’s brain cancer this time.
Ironic.
Biden has frequent memory lapses and the media hardly even notices.
Took a moment.
LOL.
Biden take the board out of your eye before you complain about Putins!
:D
“Putin got confused about the age of the child of a deputy mayor during a discussion at the Kremlin, sparking social media comments about the state of the Russian president’s health.”
Wow. Over getting “confused” about someone else’s kid’s age? Just lock me up in an old folk’s home now to die there.
Maybe he could have sniffed the kid. Can you tell someone’s age that way?
Is he talking about his parents in their bedroom?
From your profile: “A formerly active initiator of threads.”
That’s for sure. Very few comments from 2009 - about one per week, by my estimate.
Any reason why this war caused you to re-activate your account?
Another 70 year old leader. Do 70 year olds ever retire?
Nonsense. Putin’s mind is as sound as Joe Biden’s.
Many freepers view a Putin win in Ukraine as a cheerful prospect.
Holy shit! Is this an American article?…
