This is pretty à propos as Putin shocking the West out of its complacency is exactly the special item drop needed to thwart China's imperial ambitions.

For real. Hungary backtracking some of their bullshit was surprising, but Serbia taking any kind of action not beneficial to Russia is shocking.

It's not really if you read the article. They suspended it last year, but it's otherwise been running since 2014 (which I was quite surprised by).

Really good AP article featuring a high level defector from Russia's secret service, who was part of Putler's own security team.

Despite the defector not being a doctor or being intimately close to Putin I found this part interesting.

quote:

He said he has taken more than 180 trips with the Russian president, and contrary to widespread speculation, Putin appears to be in better shape than most people his age. Putin has only canceled a few trips due to illness and has annual medical checkups, he said.

He also did mention that Putin is unapproachable due to security around him. Maybe that, in addition to normal paranoia, could be a sign of body doubles?

There's a lot of duplicity in his traveling too, identically-arranged offices and the like, so nobody can know where he actually is at any moment to prevent assassinations. I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn there's body doubles too given the fake motorcades and plane trips while Putin's apparently shuffling around quietly in an armored train like a Bond villain.
