So, sadly, I doubt he poked his murdetous nose outside.

Just more ruskie lies.

Yes there is a strong resemblance, but it is off somehow.

PS I have really good facial recognition ability.

Didn't sound like Putin. Totally different tone and demeanor.

And the facial resemblance is not a strong one.

his head is of a slightly different shape too. He looks a bit like Putin, but not enough for me to believe it is him. I also am good at recognizing faces.

Cheeks and chin are not right either.

Yes there is a resemblance, but not a good one.

Facial recognition is located in the temporal lobe in the brain.

I had almost perfect facial recognition. I could look at an adult
and locate that adult in baby and childhood pictures.
Even when the face changed I recognized it.
Like an actor aging or wearing heavy make up and wigs, etc.
I could still identify the actor.

But then I had a severe concussion in the temporal lobe area and lost
most of the ability. But I still have the ability to see a shit storm fake
identify when I see it.

Certainly Putin has body doubles. Men who have undergone plastic surgery to look like Putin.
But obviously not an exact double.

I doubt Putin would walk around a war torn country, with people all around who would kill him in a heartbeat.
Putin is a coward and in poor health to boot.

He usually does not swing his right arm when he walks. He has also been keeping about 20 feet from others due to fears of Covid, or polonium tea. Recall the long tables where he met his own general, and Macron. And the Christmas video in the church where no one came close to him.

He keeps touching his chin area with his left hand, but he is right-handed.

so no one will ever see and recognize him again.

It just sounds like something they would do. Human life has no value to Putin.

Whether or not this is a body double... it would throw Russia into chaos as various people line up to take the dictators place.

Just don't miss.
