No 'sanitary' concerns here! Putin warmly shakes officials' hands as he arrives in UAE after bizarrely refusing to step within 70ft of British ambassador at Kremlin event for 'health reasons'
2023-12-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Putin snubbed several top diplomats, including the UK's ambassador to Russia

  • The despot stood 70ft away from them at the Kremlin, and refused to socialise

  • But just a day later, he flew to the Middle East to greet UAE and Saudi officials

#4  Or the body double.

What if it is not 'a' body double, but an entire army of robot android Putins? One need only look at how lifelike Putin is compared to Biden to see that we are falling behind the Russians. We must not allow a robot android President gap!

#2  "...warmly shakes officials' hands as he arrives in UAE"

For a germophobe, it's all about the 'healing'.

Or the body double.
