I'd be worried too if I started a war that my country men don't want.

1. A Despot has to despot I reckon....

Vladimir Putin has to know he may try to run, but he will be found. He steps one foot out of Russia, it will be to The Hague for him. For who wants to be labeled WAR CRIMINAL along with him?

2. Social distancing

This has been going on for a while. He probably has access to one of the effective mRNA vaccines vs. their home-grown vaccine.

I think this lends more credence to the theory that he has some medical issue.

3. The camera angle make it looks like he is bigger then the two Generals sitting at the other end

of the table.

4. He's afraid of sharp implements

6. Umbrella tipped with polonium?

5. A bullet can travel that 20' from the generals to Putin with no problems.

After that military column that is advancing on Kyiv, Ukraine is wiped out Putin's life
will not be worth a nickle.

8. I'd be worried too if I started a war that my country "men" don't want.

And the "women" are not pissed off? I see a number of brave women picking up arms and I'm sure a few would gladly skin Putin alive. Women have proven to be significant snipers in a number of wars throughout history.

9. Hey Volodya...

Watch out for that briefcase under your desk!!! You know, the ticking one........

10. Yes

And Welcome to DU.

[Chainfire]

11. The buttons under his desk control the electricity to the other chairs

The "cameras" pointing at the generals is really a machine gun.

What does the old song say about "Paranoia will destroy ya."

12. He saw Dune and is afraid of the fake tooth poison gas trick

He isn't worried about Covid.

He's worried about assassination.

13. He probably thinks a mask wil take away from his machismo

14. Welcome to our DU family. I imagine both. A little nerve agent, poison. .
