This version of Putin is extremely submissive and sheepishly allowed Trump to touch/lead him on the tarmac! If this is the "real" Putin, Vlad is as bad off as Trump, in his emotional/cognitive decline. Those faces?!? This "Putin" was not KGB foreign intelligence for 15 years. No way. Addled or fake?

The convicted felon looks very reserved for (winning). He’s working on what kind of lie to sell at home.

I assumed he was just copying Trump - body language and shouting at the press - in some kind of weird behavioral stance and desperate need to forge a bond.

He doesn't have the body language of a tsar but one of a servant when you turn sound off In the chair and meeting room for the camera he has the body language of a nervous introvert young boy

Why does Trump look like a hostage? Where’s all of that toughness and locker room 💩??? Back to Captain Bone-spurs again!!

Something is way off

He also supposedly hates being so close to people Energy seems off too.

I agree.

He's just sitting there. Hunched over staring out into space. #TrumpTheFascist seems utterly disconnected and over it.

It could be a standin, why would putin go to a country full of guns, shootings, and Ukrainian sympathizers? Or he might be in his unhinged villian plastic surgery phase. Fake or real, they're still bad news.

That’s not Putin

"He swallows!"

What about child Putin on Christmas fucking morning!? Trump is giving him a reason to be THIS happy!

at the very least, he’s acting odd

...or just giddy from dealing with the dumbest MFr to ever hold title of POTUS.

Drugs?

👀

maybe? putin is in on the joke - he knows this is a photo op for russia and trump is a puss. it may not be putie after all.

And the other is the original?

He is fucking giddy because he rules over the US now.

Very sure. This is the bubbly PR stunt one.

I’m no expert in any way, but the moment I saw him on tv I had that same thought

Doesn't Putin have Parkinson's or was that just speculation?

Speculation based on him grabbing his desk and his legs shaking. Doctor's records aren't public.

It’s just weird and too animated for him. Yet again, let’s cast a benefit of doubt and treat it as an official meeting as it is what it is. We do not know.

Lines of Adderall were done in the limo 

Not a Putin watcher but he does look very chipper. We don't see a lot of him on Brit tv but I've never seen him appear "happy." Or read any reports to that effect. I doubt it's a double but I am worried that he's happy, having said that, he has got a lot to be happy about.

Something is way off!

doesn't act like a real Putin

It is the movements and face expressions of a mass murderer that we can now all watch live on TV. Like in my or anybodies worst nightmare, a mass murderer alive and kicking, in a strange environment, with crazy faces. Let’s hope his death will come soon.

Can someone please do a mash up of all the pictures of Trump having multiple orgasms over meeting Putin in Alaska to the soundtrack of Whitney Houston's "I will always love you"? Please?

Could it be #FakePutin?

Sure looks suspicious, but can't the question of whether this is a dummy Putin be answered by technical means? Voice analysis, face recognition, even an expert on gait?

Voice analysis of footage from an event in Russia a few years ago concluded it wasn't the real Putin at that event. And like this footage of him in the chair, the facial expressions (very chipper) from that event in Russia just weren't right.

Can we get the voiceprints? Maybe some OSINT team is on this? If it turned out that Trump was trounced by a stunt double, his humiliation as the biggest loser in statecraft would be complete.

Yaa. You could be right. But he's probably all pumped up with the attention he's getting.

I agree. He’s way too animated and behaving uncontrolled. He never gives his emotions away or reacts to something. He’s controls himself. There’s something off here. Putin wouldn’t get into a car without his own service detail. Something is fishy. Doesn’t seem right.

If you say that it is scary

The table is entirely too short. The reap Putin needs at least 10 meters of distance between himself and his interlocutors.

It is the same fake -Putin who went to Mariupol to shake hands with people on the street. The real Putin would not be seen near anyone. He is always sitting far away to the nearest person.

I thought that too. (When someone asked him if he was the real Putin, he replied, “I am today!” and laughed.)

I agree with you

Do we have any idea about the number of "Twins" there may be ??

😆 10$ on #3 in Alaska! 👍 Thanks O

Also, any idea since when some oligarch replaced the real Putin with his double and is secretly running Russia through this puppet? (I love the idea)

Next: Trump realizes he's facing a puppet and wants his. Will spend weeks trying to find someone that suits his sillyweirdness. 😅

He’s giddy!

Very strange, but there are some strong similarities, the behaviour could also be giddy excitedness he can't contain but has in the past 30 years. He may be demented. Or medical drugs.

But follow up on that please…

Maybe he's the real one and the flat affect one is the double.

bsky.app/profile/nsla...

Okay, hang on, it's not a double. C'mon.

i know, just found it funny alongside these

You don't really need the "A" team to manipulate someone like Trump.

I agree. Doesn't seem to be acting like Putin, and since I'm sure Putin had no intention of agreeing to anything, he may as well send a body double to Alaska.

His cheeks look weird

I thought the same, and considered he might be on Prednisone bc those meds can really puff the face. Or, could be FauxVlad.

Looks like he had some plastic surgery 🤨

Prednisone?

I think he's been on a lot of steroids for a long time.

...Someone had some plastic surgery

😆 "someone"

All I know is, this is a side view of actual Putin (left). Whoever the guy meeting with The Felon is (right) it ain’t actual Putin.

side view of "An actual Putin" you mean?. There are a few of them...

Question is, would Trump even know if it is really Putin?

Botox?

Maybe he’s simply joyous. He’s conquered the US. His life’s achievement.

This is my take. The real Putin wouldn’t miss this opportunity. The doubles are used in more risky situations, mostly when mingling with his own citizens.

he's super animated because this is a massive gift for him. like, i know the particular mania myself. i'd be *ESTATIC*.

His cheeks do seem a little weird, but maybe he's just extraordinarily pleased about whatever it is Turnip is actually giving him.

There is a video of them in the car leaving the airport and instantly my brain thought it didn't look like him. I forgot about it until I read this. Hmm...

He's having a fucking laugh..

The background sign is obscene considering Putin wants anything but peace, and Trump is ready to bend over for Putin.

It’s always a double but that doesn’t matter. Putin is not a person it’s a set of amoral and vile ideas. It’s racism, indifference, cruelty, sadism and imperialism rolled into numerous doubles that carry the virus.

📷 @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social

What? You’re joking right?

That's what I thought too. His mannerisms were way off. Putin doesn't smile.

I don't know - it seems VERY improbable that the Russians would run such a ruse when the world is watching. It looks like Putin to me, and why wouldn't he be giddy? He's got Trump on a leash, obeying his every order. Perhaps he wants to portray a more human image to curry Americans' favour...?

Would also explain why it went from a 1v1 to a 3v3 meeting.

Whoa, really? I certainly thought he looked animated but he is in the US without fear of arrest, so I figured the chumps that we are made him giggly.

At first look I thought: that's a body double.

I thought it was a double when I first saw him

Prolly it’s the uppers effect.

Putin doubles are a very real thing. They are put into action when there is a risk of Putin being somewhere. There is absolutely zero risk to Putin to come to Alaska. None at all. He is in far less risk sitting in Alaska than he is sitting in Moscow. Alaska is a safe place for Putin. Which is sad.

That's right. He doesn't visit Moscow often anymore, though. He mostly telecommutes from his bunker. Some say it's in the Ural mountains but his mansion in Krasdonar Krai is so heavily armed that he's likely there.

Nicholas II used to telecommute from his villa or boat in Finland in the 1910s a lot and look what happened to him...

The First Felon seems annoyed.

I've been thinking the same. It's most obvious when you watch the body language. bsky.app/profile/uroc...

No hand tremor

Kinda looks like Grandpa Munster to me

😂

The side view outside looked strange.

One of the first things Lev Parnas said after the fiaso.

The CIA needs to arrange a Fake-Trump to meet with Fake-Putin. But it'll be a challenge to find a double dumb enough to stage embarrassing performances as convincingly as the Real-Trump manages with such astonishing ease.

Don’t you know the whole thing about being a clown is how it’s against the rules to copy them? Sheesh!

Yeah, no. Drumpf doesn't have body doubles.

Big Tech is pushing hard to combine AI with robots that are more like humans, which in Trump's case presents special obstacles toward developing a human-like Trump double.

He’s acting like a clown. Very weird. You might be right.

He may be joining the Dementia Club for Men as well…

Left photo: Putin Right photo: Putin on the left and his double on the right. Putin sent a clown.

Does Putin normally walk down steep steps without holding the railing and w/ a bit of jauntiness? I was struck by how odd was his descent from the jet.

@drjackbrown.bsky.social compared the ear with an old pic and concluded he’s not a double. Ears are a match.

He’s far too animated and his jaw line is wider…more square.

So much losing in one room!

Pudding face

Honestly, some very weird mannerisms. Either a double or he's on drugs lol Definitely not normal Putin. I'm definitely leaning towards double.

Could be drugs. Hasn't he had cancer for years?

I think you may be right. Maybe the real Putin wanted to see if the double would be arrested.

👀

And is he really the bastard? It's not necessarily Putler number 3 🤔

we've just never seem him experience joy before

I was just going to say that when I saw the picture. Leave it to Putin to send in the double in case they DID try to arrest him.....

It’s definitely him. No way a man with a frail ego like Putin would let a double meet the American president. He is just that childish. A childish murderous dictator, like most murderous dictators…

Incorrect. Putin would find it amazing to fool the POTUS with a double while remaining safe and sound in his hideout.

Ethan Hunt. I think Trump got played.

I decided it was a double from the first photo I saw (profile shot in the US POTUS limo window).

I thought he might be giddy.

No, he's just lost it. I think the B2 freaked him out.

Nah. FSB had access to security.

Putin's any behavior lately is not like Putin's behavior 5 years ago. I would pay for his medical records.

After watching the entire clip, yeah, it's bizarre

He may feel like a condemned man just pardoned, from a fate he crafted for himself

And Trump wouldn’t know

😂👍

A fake Putin?

unless this is the original one and we haven't seen him for a while

Pursuing Peace through a Russia-USA summit with a body double Putin, warmly greeted and welcomed with red carpet by fake-loving Trump. Pursuing Peace by two criminals who want nothing other than their own personal interests and gains. Does Trump know by now he is dealing with a fake Putin?!

Pursuing Peace: Putin kills innocent Ukrainians every night. Pursuing Peace: Trump's ICE detains innocent migrants every day everywhere in US. Pursuing Peace: Fake Peace seekers/criminals are not going to help Ukraine. Both of Putin and Trump are peace-killers.

I think the odds are even. Real Poots wants to be there but he's a god damn coward. He has spent years in his bunker.

It's the behavior of a child that is very excited to open his Christmas presents.

And yet it looks familiar, he imitates Trump

Unless he was just given Alaska.

👀

Where was Zelenskyy?

He's on the Adderall Express

This Putin will be shown the window. Lost the plot.
