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?"

I thought he was dying. Must have come out of his death bed that the media has him in, to kick some ass.
My advice the him, stay on the ground floor
Putin started this war and he obviously knew thsy a by-product would be the u.s. draining itself (of weapons and money) propping up Ukraine. I think Putin is taking a long view. Attrition. The Russians know it well. It can apply to western resources and Ukranian lives.
Hitler was a paranoid micro-manager. He believed himself a military genius...didn't like anyone, especially his Field Generals questioning his judgement, and telling him he was wrong about anything. When one of his Generals told him something he didn't like, he'd remove them from their Command, and replace them with someone else. It became a revolving door. He got even worse after the assassination attempt at the Wolf's Lair. He was a pathetic little man, who had visions of grandeur that destroyed his country, and refused to accept that he was responsible for any of it. At the end, in his bunker, he vacillated between acting depressed, and dragging himself around in a daze, to periodically shrieking at his Generals that they could still win the war if they did what he told them. He got off way too easily. Wish the Russians had nabbed him before he took the coward's way out.
Our government and elected officials are draining our economy. Please blame the people who are actually responsible.
FEGELEIN!
FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN, FEGELEIN!!!

Your diatribe would carry more weight if you could spell “losing” correctly.

seems to me the russians were allies that helped defeat the nazis
oddly joe stalin was ukrainian
Kudos to Putin.
Putin actually raised his voice and said, “Why are you playing a fool?”
NATO crossed the red-line they had been warned about for decades only after they had built and equipped an army in the Ukraine of 600,000 soldiers.
While at first Putin was trying for a ‘fight until the Ukraine negotiates’ strategy, it didn’t work. When he realized NATO will grind down to the last Ukrainian or NATO soldier fighting in the Ukraine, Russia switched to a war of attrition. Russia is losing soldiers but is confident the Ukraine will ‘run out’ of the resources to fight first. And so the deaths continue.
And Stalin was Georgian.
Utter nonsense.
Stalin was Georgian. He did massacre Ukrainians though.
Biden, Putin and Zelensky are all extremely dangerous unstable “leaders”. All three need to go.
(And others as well, not the end of my wish list, but I’m just focusing on the ones itching for nuclear war over Ukraine bs.)
How refreshing, a boss who demands some real accountability from his reports.
Russia is in good hands.
Absolutely agree.
Their schoolyard fistfight ego trips are not worth all our lives after a nuclear war.
The former Warsaw Pact states had every right to join NATO. They suffered for 40 years under Soviet Russian control. Putin can stick the “red lines” were the Sun don’t shine…
Gee, you sure are taking it personal in your defense of Putin.
Methinks thou doth complaineth too much.
