Those 50 seconds that Erdogan made Putin wait, looking frazzled in-front of cameras say plenty of how much has changed after Ukraine:

Wasn't it rumored that he had cancer and was slowly dying.

What's the latest on his health?

Video of a Russian aircraft shot down in Kherson. Ukrainian officials are claiming it was a Russian Su-35S fighter. Given the location, it is possible Russian air defenses shot down their own aircraft.




HOPEFULLY!!!

HAVE THE WORST FUCKIN DAY EVER, YOU MOTHERFUCKER

... he looks the same, to me... but his mouth twitched. I do think it was purposeful. Probably wanted to give allies a look, and he'll hopefully report back with some observations re Vlad.

Also, fuck Erdogan.

Chump would slump to appear the same height as Pootie, but he's taller too.

As a matter of fact, most of the western leaders are taller than Pootie. He must hate that.

He seems like the type of guy who is driven by rage at his repressed knowledge that he's P.O.S. loser and desperate attempts to cover up his deep-seated insecurities (much like the vast majority of Trump cultists).

and jailed in a Turkish prison for his political activities so Pootie doesn't scare him a bit.

Mildly annoyed or impatient, maybe. But frazzled because Erdogan is sending him some kind of message about Russian behavior? That really is a stretch. Why do people insist on seeing what's not there?

By the way, why is Erdogan even meeting with this monster, giving him the friendly greeting and handshake? That's the real scandal.
