Everyone 'Worried' About Putin's Whereabouts, Except The Russians

The Western media are aglow with the disappearance of Russian president Vladimir Putin. Having gone missing in public for the past 10 days, his whereabouts has practically become a meme, sung to the theme song of that 1990s children’s program Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Everyone here seems nervously pleased about Putin’s M.I.A. The major Russian media, on the other hand, don’t seem to be the least bit worried.

A year after Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, Putin is conspicuous by his absence. Shouldn’t he be celebrating somewhere? State media RT and Sputnik International are mum about their disappearing president. The only Putin story on both websites Sunday is the one about his comments on the Ukraine imbroglio, sourced from a documentary rather than from the man himself. You have to click on that link to read what Putin says about Ukraine. You’re gonna love it!

According to Putin’s press secretary, Dimitry Peskov, Putin is not dead. He is not ill. Maybe this is true…

Actually, it is not.

If it wasn’t for ISIS beheading innocent civilians, Putin would be the West’s Mephisto. Since the ousting by extra-legal means of Ukraine president Viktor Yanukovych in February 2014, Putin has become our single biggest villain. Pundits remind us he has nukes.

1. I imagine Snowden was shitting his pants as well

(Even though he isn't technically a Russian...)

Snowden's life isn't worth a nickel without Putin protecting him...

Oh, nevermind, I see Rapoza is one of those "Russia didn't invade" propagandists -- You sure love posting those stories, don't you Purveyor?? At what point do you finally admit you and your cronies are on the wrong side of the issue?

Sure do. So far 291 members decided to click on the OP and read.

That is what is all about.

4. Enjoy it while you can

Even the truest believers in a fantasy postmodern Europe dominated by a romantic image of Moscow that never was are slowly starting to wake up to realize they've been defending the indefensible...

So I imagine you'll have increasing difficulty finding these stories in the future -- Not that you'll stop trying, though...

So you post your stuff, and I'll post mine and we'll see how it plays out...

2. I am guessing some type of plastic surgery.

Lypo on the love handles, pectoral implants? Who knows but this guy is so vain, he probably thinks this thread is about him..
