POOTY IS A DEAD MAN WALKING>>>
He gave the order for Russian to invade Georgia in 2008 - a war that ended in an uneasy stalemate - and has been fighting a low-level conflict against Islamist insurgents including ISIS in the region for many years.
The security situation has also been destabilised in recent years by fighting between Armenia - a close ally of Russia - and Azerbaijan, which included a war over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region in 2020.
Hostilities along their shared border had ticked up in the early months of this year, just before Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in late February.
Putin is said to be fearful of assassination since declaring war, after hit squads were sent into Ukraine to take out President Zelensky in the early days of the conflict.

Zelensky and his entourage have described surviving several attempts to storm the presidential palace in the opening hours of the war, in what they believe were kill-or-capture missions by Russian ‘saboteurs’.
Last month, Putin took his ‘nuclear football’ - a briefcase that can launch an attack remotely - to the funeral of a far-right politician.
Mourners were cleared away when the President paid his respects to ultranationalist Vladimir Zhirinovsky, showing his fears of an assassination attempt.
Putin has previously claimed he has escaped numerous assassination attempts.
In 2017, Putin told filmmaker Oliver Stone that there had been five assassination attempts against him - and the only reason he is alive is because he deals with his own security personally.
‘I do my job and the security officers do theirs and they are still performing quite successfully,’ Putin said in the documentary ‘The Putin Interviews’.
Putin is said to travel with his own sniper squad whose role is to locate any shooters and kill them before they are able to pull the trigger on Putin.
In 2012, a former public schoolboy in Britain was arrested in the Ukrainian port city of Odessa in connection with a foiled plot to assassinate Putin.
Adam Osmayev, who is from a prominent Chechen family opposed to Putin, was seized by special forces in Odessa and he allegedly confessed to wanting to travel to Moscow and kill Putin, then a presidential candidate, by bombing his motorcade.

Et tu Brutae?
Last week he survived cancer 🤪
Super Russian
Hypersonic missiles bounce off his manly chest.
“there was an attempt to kill the Russian president”
Try, try again!
Sources say he’s riddled with cancer and all his meetings are pre-recorded, he’s addicted to Pervitin, he micro-manages the war, and he danced a jig when Mariupol fell. All of this sounds vaguely familiar.
It was a Special Operation by the Goats of Kiev.
No one lies better than a Brit propaganda puppet. They have centuries of practice.

I heard he's hiding in his bunker with his mistress, a pistol and some cyanide 🤪
Pooty will be dead by Christmas. If not that, then he will be pushed out to live his remaining days in a sanatorium by the Black Sea. For the most powerful Russians, Pooty Toot is too incompetent to stay in charge. The Rooskie military is now the world’s #1 laughingstock
He’s created a whole batch of new ones.
Sorry, Biden's “withdrawal” from Afghanistan leaving $80 Billion in military equipment in the hands of terrorists puts us so far ahead of the Rooskie military that there is no valid comparison...
Laughable propaganda. So the Caucasus tried to assassinate. Trying to get Russia’s minority regions and Russia split apart. Embarrassingly amateur story.
Regime change neocons on suicide watch!
