A Kremlin insider said that Putin- was helped to a sofa by bodyguards as his personal doctors rushed to assist him.
Putin is also alleged to have soiled himself during the fall.

"I support Putin, I have Russian relatives "

Fucking hell

Well why don't you fuck off to Russia then.

👏

I support Putin and Russia as I have Russian relatives. It is extremely unlikely that this happened and is just propaganda.

Half of my family is Russian. On behalf of all of us, go fuck yourself.

Its not a punishment for his crimes its just his body failing. He still needs to be punished.

Another startling fact that nobody could possibly have been aware of. Thank you again for your insight Crussont.

I am sorry for sharing this last night, I realise it could cause people to feel embarrassed about similar things, I was just shocked at the story and wanted to see whether anyone else had read similar as could only find that source, in hindsight I shouldn't have used the same title as the article.

I remember feeling sorry for a similar incident that Biden suffered but I did think Putin isnt deserving of the same sympathy, as others have said it could happen to any of us, but I like to think karma stepped in this time.

I don't think you have anything to be sorry for OP.

If people can't see the difference between a dangerous leader and a vulnerable adult in society who may suffer the same then that's their issue.

I said that I thought you should be ashamed @Jenasaurus but do understand you were quoting the headline.

A large amount of my time is spent caring for elderly relatives and it hit a nerve for me as DM has done this. Obviously medics were called but I told no-one the details, not even her GC or friends. She deserves to have her dignity maintained despite her failing health.

He's a heavy drinker so this isn't surprising in the slightest.

It has frequently been claimed that (unlike 99% of Russians) he doesn’t drink alcohol at all.

@DarkNecessities
You are being ridiculous.

I need to apologise for either the thread or the title

It's the pearl clutchers who need to adjust their moral compasses, not you

Autumnnewname · 04/12/2022 11:52

Sorry OP

I meant NO need

This thread is absolutely ok

Suzi888 · 04/12/2022 11:56

Ahh a thread about an elderly person shitting themselves. Wonderful 🤔

Well that’s a massive misrepresentation of who putin is. He’s not a frail, helpless man faced with the hopelessness of a failing body. He’s an angry psychopath determined to lash out at anyone he perceives as weaker than him or with less resource.

True or not, this is exactly the propaganda method he himself wouldn’t hesitate to employ. He doesn’t need your internet defence.

SerendipityJane · 04/12/2022 12:46

Well I always thought the only headline about the Queen passing was "old lady dies, weather to follow".

Are you for real?
This is megalomaniacal despot who's holding the world to ransom.

Awww aren't we all just a big bunch of meanies

Soothsayer1 · 04/12/2022 13:04

Poor poor Mr Putin, such a kindly old gentleman, we should turn a blind eye to him raining death destruction and horror on the world, he doesn't mean any harm he just needs something to keep him busy

Jenasaurus · 04/12/2022 13:18

How about we do a big get well card from MN to the lovely man. Maybe a collection for a gift, any ideas of a suitable one?

Kennykenkencat · 04/12/2022 13:32

What about a stairlift

Although that puts me in mind of Peter Kaye getting stuck on one in Phoenix Nights

Or one of those big cards that explode glitter when you open them. We could save the money in the glitter though.

A snowglobe with "Present from Kyiv" engraved on it ?

If Putin was reading this thread he would I think be more angry that you called him an elderly person than his shitty pants.🤣

A case of
Oh bless him he thought he could just march into Ukraine and he thought he would be welcome

We laughed at Hitler. It was said he only had one testicle.
