Much as I’d like this to be 100% true, I’m taking it with a pinch of salt. Some of the way the article is worded seems off, especially if we assume, based on the name, that the author is a native English speaker.

I really hope I’m wrong because the Ukrainian counter-propaganda folks ought to be able to do better.

Putin was a scared little shit since he was a child.
And he learned from early on that projecting strength, was the best defense.
Everything Putin has done politically since he became president of Russia, is based on misinformation, and projecting strength.
How many times has Putin warned Europe about consequences for helping Ukraine and sanctioning Russia?
I suppose he realizes by now that it doesn’t work anymore in foreign policy.
But he is still using it against his own population, but even they are beginning to see the truth. Which is that Putin is nothing but a con man and a fraud, and he is losing grip on his power as president of the Russian federation.

“Putin is afraid of cameras.”

As he should be.

Pretty sure his worst nightmare is the one where he gets his balls cut off and has to eat his own balls but somehow his balls are still there and he still has to get them cut off? He fights against it and even lands a couple of good punches but it’s not enough he still has to do it, so he starts running and no matter how he runs and hides it’s more like an obligation at this point to cut off and eat his own balls & he wakes up still feeling the dread and his thoughts are twisted for a good half hour

If he is so afraid,I hear The Hague has some secure sites.
