I don’t think there has ever been any evidence that he was deadSome weirdness going on with Putin and his doubles. Looks like he may still be alive and kicking.

Have been flying in from Spain and back every day now since atleast that drone downing.I've noticed the sudden appearance of B52s on flightradar.

I noticed on the videos released yesterday of Putin in Crimea / Mariupol that he wasn't walking around with his usual stiff right arm that much ..No, there wasn't. There was only that he hasn't actually been seen for months and was very sick then. But the weird thing is that of the three Putins out and about yesterday, the one that tripped all the facial recognition alarms was the one driving around Mariupol. Not confirmed as him, but apparently (I'm told) a high probability according to the AI. Maybe he suddenly doesn't give a hoot about personal security. Anyway, nothing would surprise me.
It’s the problem of trying to apply rational actor thinking on Ruzzia. They have lost.Enemies in conflicts do that, they react and adapt.
Were the Russians ever really going to just give up?
If it goes on long enough I think they’ll fully mobilise.
Saw the vid of him driving round Mariupol. Heff off, normal roads and traffic, no motorcade, no blocked roads, street lights. Do me a favour.
it's crazy. Did they broadcast all of these in short order? He can't be everywhere.Yeah, update. It wasn't him. So, in Crimea there was limping spine issue Putin and energetic younger Putin. I Mariupol another, different double. Maybe they should send all of them to meet Xi. That would knock him off balance a bit.

I do not believe they will will send a double out to meet Xi.Yeah, update. It wasn't him. So, in Crimea there was limping spine issue Putin and energetic younger Putin. I Mariupol another, different double. Maybe they should send all of them to meet Xi. That would knock him off balance a bit.
I’m not suggesting that Russia will ultimately win.It’s the problem of trying to apply rational actor thinking on Ruzzia. They have lost.
Emptying prisons is probably on no one’s list of adaptations so on Ukraine has to go.
Yes, a rational Russia would have given up by now. It’s not rational it’s a huge land mass controlled by a small bunch of lunatics
Escalation of full mobilisation by Ruzzia will possibly have a greater impact internally on Ruzzia itselfl with unrest and whatnot and if they do fully mobilise the west will up it’s continuing support to Ukraine and Ruzzia will continue to have already lost, but will lose more badly.
Near AlaskaWe have our first break away republic, subject to a vote. Chukotka.
No, me neither.
From the video I seen of him, his face look bloated and some patches of hair missing?No, there wasn't. There was only that he hasn't actually been seen for months and was very sick then.

Yeah, he looks sick and there's loads of make up. That's one of the things that got the intelligence community interested. They have since analysed further and decided it's not him though.From the video I seen of him, his face look bloated and some patches of hair missing?
Wait. Putin has body doubles? Skimming through the last few pages it seems to be consensus.
Would that apply for every world leader of prominence then? Potentially? Including Zelinsky too?There’s a lot of debate about how many he has and how/when/where they’re utilised - for example myself and Mwelolo are skeptical about a double being used in high level international talks, such as with Xi - but it seems to be common knowledge that doubles are being used in certain situations, especially like the recent Mariupol visit.
