But look at his contemporaries - the Clintons, George Bush jr, Blair etc....anyone would recognise them instantly from their younger version.
It's propaganda to make the Russians think they are under attack from nato.
It's certainly quite possible, but the change in him is notable. If he had never been President, I'd say people who knew him 20 years ago wouldn't even recognise him if he passed them on the street today.
He does look like he is on a steroid treatment.
Putin the knobhead.
..
That blond woman is in every photo shoot with him, playing various parts…
Fuc* them. Good things will happen despite them.
Several countries will announce the dispatch of Leopard 2 tanks in Ukraine on Friday at a meeting at the German Ramstein airbase - Reuters, citing the Lithuanian Defense Minister.
Russia-Ukraine war: Kyiv to receive ‘hundreds’ of tanks from several nations, says Lithuania

Yes her name captain Anna Sidorenko also known by several other alias Larisa Sergukhina ,depending on wether she's a female fishing captain,fish cannery operation manager or ice cream seller
Germany is really keen on roasting its reputation.
Seems to be going down the route of very much fair weather friends stuff, again …
Principled stances against the utterly unprincipled and calls for diplomacy with people who only seem to respect strength.
Hungary being useful idiots to the Putin regime.
Ah heyor. Leave it bleein' ouh. I understand you don't like him but that's below the belt.
Body shaming the poor fella. You are basically calling him a fat bastard.
Totally impractical. It's not just the lack of power, it's as much the range over which you can control the things, which is essentially line of sight at 5Ghz WiFi frequencies.
If you want range, you need wings. US drones are controlled using satellites for longer ranges. They also are powered by hydrocarbons because the energy density of Li batteries sucks in comparison.
Terrible performance in lower temperatures especially at altitude too
Program it to go one way. Stick a GPS module on it and set it free. Set it to go to the midpoint and then the person there can flick the switch to set it to go to the final destination. Do it with a winged one if you want.
I'm sure the boffins can figure it out. I'm just the big ideas genius person
He's also 20 years older...
You defeat us and we'll use nukes,more saber rattling from those delightful rascals.
They already have GPS modules, and yes, they can autonomously fly a set route, but 25 battery swaps to get from Kyiv to Moscow to drop a massive 1-2 Kg payload is a logistical nonsense. If you have 25 agents, there would be better uses for them.
Speculation from some observers that it is not Ukraine that Putin fears, but that a military coup might be staged against him.
25 swaps or recharges? Worse than a bleedin' iphone.
They already hit an airbase fairly far inside. And did a bit of damage with that.
Although the damage is not necessarily assessed in terms of the specific physical damage but the operational hassle for the other side in having to put systems in place to protect themselves against potential future "attack".
Great piece of kit,i presume its the 40 mm version,if it is they can easily sideshot a russian MBT as well
Universal Soldier?
But the psychological effect would be massive, people would be getting rounded up to look for non existent traitors ,
Everyone would be looking over their shoulders
Dont think the Serbian president was to happy about wagner group recruiting serbians to join the meatgrinder in Ukraine
This is politics I'd say.
Hungary wants nine individuals removed from the sanctions list.
Fcuk em. They wanna play this way, time to keep turning off that EU tap and let them sink back to a soviet hellscape.
Only because it was found out. The Serbs are, pound for pound, worse inherent fascist / ultra-nationalists than even the Russians. There is 220 years of incidental evidence to demonstrate that.
Its a moment of reckoning for all the Serb people, forced on them by Russia. They can either continue to simmer the tensions of the Yugoslav conflicts of the 1990's and seen heat up again as recently as December vis-a-vis Kosovo, or they pledge themselves absolutely to democratic self-determination and have some chance of EU membership down the line.
If they continue to mirror Russian carry-on, they'll be left as a failed fascist basket case, landlocked by the EU/NATO/Anti-Russia coalition.
It's probable they hit the airbase with special forces, just as they did at the other one where they blew up the 3 choppers.
I heard some details of the Archer today I found interesting. Iirc it can fire 8 rounds in one minute. Those rounds can be fired at different trajectories towards the same target area so they arrive all at the same time. It can also fire Excalibur. That's some headache for the vatniks.
The Slavs to the east of Germany in the EU are not going to go along with Berlin from here on, they openly question if German leaders loyalty is to Moscow FFS.
The division Germany has fostered will be playing out in European politics for many years to come.
If the Ukraine is left in then it will be a very large counter weight, which is why I can never see France and Germany allowing that to happen.
Germans. Good at tech, bad at sales.
Nothing to see here, move along...
