Putin takes a fall

The article goes on to say he shit himself. At least that’s my read. God, please let it be true.
That's how I interpreted the article I read, too. Not a good thing for Putin's image to have that spread far and wide.

Yes. That spreading far and wide, that's the problem.
I really need to watch that movie.

You really do. Armando Iannucci is always hilarious.

I'm so glad you got that. 'Twas subtle, but intentional.

@Renauda said in Putin takes a fall:
He just said, “We don’t talk about this.”
No mention of “fake news”.
So the tweet is fake news, then, amirite?

So yeah, it’s probably a bogus tweet.

Russia Responds to Report Putin Fell Down Stairs, Soiled Himself
Russian President Vladimir Putin's press office is denying that the Kremlin's leader fell down a set of stairs and soiled himself.
General SVR posted a lengthy story on Telegram last week about how Putin had a stressful day at work filled with discussions of Russia's failing economy and the war with Ukraine. At the end of the day, General SVR said the Russian president slipped and fell five steps, landing on his tailbone. The jarring fall allegedly caused Putin to "defecate involuntarily".
General SVR is unsubstantiated, and although the anonymous page is allegedly operated by a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service official with inside access to Putin and his staff, it often makes anti-Kremlin posts that aren't verified. The page has posted many times on Putin's alleged failing health, and many people following the war from across the globe have been quick to speculate and closely examine Putin's actions, looking for clues into his health.
However, in an email sent to Newsweek on Tuesday, the Press and Information Office of the President of the Russian Federation denied the claim that Putin fell down the stairs, suffered a bruised tailbone and soiled himself.
"Regarding your request, we can say that this is completely untrue," the email said.

You have to admit it does sound a bit like propaganda. I mean, if you wanted to ridicule him and create doubts about his fitness for office, this would fit right in.
