You can live for years with Parkinson’s, even when at the shining uncontrollably stage. My grandad was worse than in this video for a decade or more, and had no obvious cognitive impairment. Wouldn’t be thinking that these videos suggest anything like an imminent end to Putins life not his ability to rule
Gulfstream, possibly, Globemaster and the chance of being mistaken for a weapons shipment, not a chance.
The irony.
Jayzus the Mirrors video is very bad quality, this is a bit better quality!
Putin's leg looks odd as he starts to move, he could've had a stroke too.
Sorry for being astounded at the support this barbaric and senseless war has from a huge number of Russians and the utter bile some of them are displaying. I've seen enough Moscow vox pops and images from Ukraine.
And there is documented situations now where teachers are reported to authorities by pupils and being fired for being against the war.
Basket case country.
I'd hazard a guess the majority of the public are pro-Putin and pro-war. The sheer number of pro-war Russian expats (where they are free to speak their mind and give their honest opinion) would suggest that the numbers of pro-war people back home must be pretty high.
Putin has been assassinated is what I want to read when I view this thread tomorrow.
possible he could be replaced with someone just as bad or worse
He has spent years evolving his control it would difficult for anyone to replace him given the erosion of the myth of military power and the collapsing economic situation which makes replenishing weapons difficult. They can of course push the nuclear threat but that puts them on a tragically similar plateau to North Korea. Not sure this was Putin’s aim at the start.
Oh look another fire in Russia in belgorod again !!!
I get the neutrality thing, and I wholeheartedly support Switzerland (and Ireland, and whoever) in their stance, but ... I feel there's a whiff of hypocrisy in producing items that kill and maim, then getting upset when they're used for their intended purpose.
Definitely looks like either a stroke or parkinson's ( or similar) it will be interesting if more videos get leaked showing more physical issues
Some breakthrough news if correct, from a Canadian soldier on the ground , I was patient for the lack of up to date news lately but I can understand how the Ukrainians wanted a news lag for intelligence purposes, but this seems bang up to date and major breakthrough.

He's well worth following on Twitter. He's near Kherson so his updates from there are on point.
Any updates from further afield he is basically relaying from internal Ukrainian sources. So one or two things he's relayed has never backed up by other sources. Doesn't mean they're untrue but you like to see the verification. The majority of the time though it's been bang on the money.
That account has consistently made a bunch of pretty outrageous claims which have turned out to be false; so I would ignore anything he says until or unless there's official confirmation or clear evidence.
There's nothing in the morning briefing from the Ukrainian General Staff on any gains for example.
One or two come to mind alright 😄.
But i think he tries to post in good faith as best he can. Updating Twitter and warring at the same time makes it difficult to follow up all those sources.
Putin looks like he has Parkinsons or something, maybe he thinks taking Ukraine will cement his legacy before he pops his cork
Did Putin not say sometime in late Feb that Russian and Ukrainian people are all the one family /the one people and that there is no need for the two countries to exist separately or words to that effect. - we are all brothers except for the few natzis that exist in Ukraine.
So has your typical Russian seriously deviated from the Masters position?
That was the thinking early on in the invasion ,the idea of him bringing back the Soviet union for the people of Russia and it would only take 3 weeks from Ukraine to the whole of eastern Europe,
How wrong were they
Yeah I don't think he's being intentionally dishonest; he's just repeating what he reads or hears without really verifying it. Also I believe the account is being shared between several volunteers which can make things a bit harder to judge.
Whether he is suffering from multiple diseases or not, he is probably in his 70s, it's hard to tell when 87% of his bounce is botox.
He approaching popping his cork either way.
Could be a false flag as a prelude to declaring war proper and recruiting from the east parts of Russia.
I know I'm a bit late in responding, but anytime you see an airport such as "Zweibrücken", "Trier" or "Bitburg" as the point of departure for a USAF aircraft, particularly transports or tankers, you can be pretty much certain that the aircraft in question actually took of from Ramstein. The airfields I mentioned are all pretty close to Ramstein, Zweibrücken and Bitburg actually started out as US air bases, and the US Air Force sometimes uses them for civilian flight plans to cover up where they're actually flying from.
EDIT: Removed some major typos. No posting on boards without coffee from now on...
Putin's date of birth, and therefore his age, is a matter of public record: 7th of October, 1952. He's 69. Speculation about his health aside, he's not particlarly old by head-of-state standards. The ten older current heads of State range from 96 (Queen Elisabeth II) to 83 (Iran's Khamenei). And there's a load of world leaders in their 70s. Putin's only a year older than China's Xi Jinping. So unless he does have some serious health issue, his age in itself isn't necessarily going to bring a swift end to this barbarity.
Emotion overcomes critical thinking.
Soviet Records from an Ex-KGB agent?
Prob legit alright. 👍️
Russians lost more ammo. https://twitter.com/PhillipsPOBrien/status/1519168200566620161?s=20&t=OIIq7uYWtvbbUiccHGx-AA
Just had a thought on the tranistria thing there. Supposedly there is 20 thousand tons of military arms in warehouses in the region stockpiled during the 90s . Assume the Russians would absolutely love to get hold of it on to the battlefield considering the rate they are going through stuff at. Has to be some element of this thinking in it .
Does the UNSC irrelevance and non performance due to it's veto clause not tell you that demanding unanimity of an organisation is not a good idea?
Someone more knowledgeable on these matters may comment, but I would imagine mothballed munitions would have a best by date, and cold war era hardware unless it's regularly serviced may be mostly junk now.
