Vladimir Putin
Re: Vladimir Putin
So one of the Ukrainian dudes reporting on the war on Twitter started a Ukrainian joke thread. It had a lot of our favorite memes, plus some original humor. Mostly black.
This is one that stuck in my mind:
How many Ukrainians does it take to change a light bulb?
Five.
One to open the window,
Three to push Putin out,
And one to change the light bulb.
As Frater would say: I'll see myself out.

Okay...so you head down this hall 300 paces, then you'll see the second left, don't go there, that leads to the tenth level of hell AKA central Georgia...
You'll need to take the immediate right...then another right....then another right...and yet, another right...
Yes I know it seems you just went in a circle, but the building was designed by Salvatore Dali...
Now you want to take your second left, head down the hall 200 pace, up and down the stairs, and you'll see the revolving door...
Once out, you of course can come in again...

Putin ‘purges’ 150 FSB agents in response to Russia’s botched war with Ukraine
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/puti ... 49702327-1A “Stalinist” mass purge of Russian secret intelligence is under way after more than 100 agents were removed from their jobs and the head of the department responsible for Ukraine was sent to prison.
In a sign of President Putin’s fury over the failures of the invasion, about 150 Federal Security Bureau (FSB) officers have been dismissed, including some who have been arrested.
All of those ousted were employees of the Fifth Service, a division set up in 1998, when Putin was director of the FSB to carry out operations in the countries of the former Soviet Union with the aim of keeping them within Russia’s orbit.
Re: Vladimir Putin
Think I read about that happening last Month. Not exactly surprising regardless of when it happened.

I found this on the twitter machine. If I wasn't high, maybe I could confirm it was written by Ms Nicks but even if it wasn't, it's worth posting.
May the bridges I burn light my way.

Rolling Stone, among many others, printed it last month, so I'd say it's authentic.

Re: Vladimir Putin
On a more serious note, he looks unusually bloated. That could be an effect of aging or some medications, but had not seen this level before. He's also agitated and nervous. I can't agree with those who are sure it's Parkinson's. All I can tell is he doesn't look well, physically or emotionally, and maybe he doesn't like being that close to someone.
Here's why that's bad for Joe Biden:

Re: Vladimir Putin
Many suspected it after his weird meeting sign Shoigu, during which he held on to the table for 13 minutes.
This is probably the clearest video of something being wrong with Putin’s health.
Look at his leg & hand tremors!
Any doctor out there willing to weigh in?
Parkinson?

Re: Vladimir Putin
Maybe if his health is getting bad, he felt it was now or never to be seen as the savior of Mother Russia.

Re: Vladimir Putin
I think I posted that a while back, that he's feeling health and time are not on his side and he wants to go out with a splash.
I'm not sold those are tremors. Some seem like nervous tics. But what do I know. wrong video.

I figured that was a previous year.. He was not hunched over at all like he was in that 12 minute meeting photo.

It reminds me of this, though the hand shaking is not quite as pronounced.
