A recorded meeting shows Russian President Vladimir Putin losing his temper when arguing with his deputy prime minister.
In Putin's first video call meeting of the year with government ministers, he sparred with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov before humiliating him by asking why he was "fooling around" instead of securing new contracts for plane construction, a video released by RIA Novosti shows.
When Manturov attempted to defend himself, Putin adopted a mocking tone before giving him one month as a deadline.
The incident started with a disagreement over whether or not new contracts had been issued for 2023; Manturov claimed they had been, and Putin claimed they had not. After going back and forth a few times, Putin got visibly annoyed and began chastising the deputy prime minister.
"There are still no orders at some enterprises ... for a long time. Too long. Enterprises must understand their prospects, orders — they must hire labor, maintain or expand production facilities, you understand? They need to understand how many military ships, how many civilian ones will be ordered. There aren't any orders for 2023," Putin said.
"So? When will this be sorted?" he asked.
Putin's tantrum against Manturov went on for a full minute while the minister awkwardly looked down at his papers.
"Why are you fooling about?" Putin asked. "When will we have the contracts?"

Manturov would be wise to avoid tall buildings, windows, elevators, boats, etc. for the foreseeable future.
This paints a scene from that movie about Hilter.
The one where he works himself up into a sputtering, shrieking rage, making all surrounding officers silently shake in fear.
So both world leaders Putin and Biden are grumpy old men going into dementia style anger outbursts?
Sounds dangerous for us all.
Perhaps he can commission another statue and ceremony to honor another mass murdering communist dictator.
Get Herr Steiner on the phone!!!
That’s the Movie! It can be applied to so many situations!
The video that the Washington Examiner links to doesn’t match the tone they describe.
That’s very mild “snapping”. Very low energy by comparison.
He is trying to make it sound like it’s business as usual in Russia.
“ Why are you fooling about?” Putin asked. “When will we have the contracts?”
Manturov could have responded “why are you still fooling around in Ukraine?” before he was shipped off to some gulag I suppose
This diatribe is very Stalinist.
Nothing any different then any other meeting he has such as this - if you see his other videos.
The propaganda would not be necessary if it were true.
Putin is draining our economy and laughing. As Zeitzler said to Hitler, “”they’re (Russians) such clever devils.”
I guess they could’ve all put on dresses and started kissing one another. Like here in the West.
Rome was not built on smiling faces.
Putin is not Hitler, he’s not Stalin, and he’s not a communist, and he’s not loosing it.
People on FR should be more worried about our own government, and the carnage we have and continue to do in our name around the world.

Biden has given the Ukraine over $100 Billion dollars in aid and this drives you to conclude PUTIN is draining our economy.....This after Biden family (son, brother, Joe) has been laundering money in the Ukraine, after our 'foreign aid' has been laundered back to the DNC, Pelosi, Schumer etc. You're just certain PUTIN is the problem..
