(6,558 posts)We need to know what it is that Putin holds over him. That is the key to this whole debacle. With knowledge comes the path to freedom from the Russian influence in our White House.

(2,212 posts)I had to check for some other original photo online for 10 minutes--Finding: This is the original--before I would believe it.
If I were to write a caption, it would be, "A frumpy, subservient bullshitter of an American president walks beside an energized, ex-KGB officer who has him right were he wants him."
Update on edit: By the way, do you see the peculiar gait of Putin, where his left arm is swinging but his right arm is fairly close to his body? It's not because he's holding papers. In fact, this gait of Putin's is well-known and often commented upon. It comes from his years as a KGB agent, where the gait was used as a hallmark and intimidation tactic of the agents. It's done, ostensibly, to keep the hand that draws the concealed gun out the holster close to the body so that they'll always be ready to draw and fire. More importantly, it serves to remind everyone that they're carrying a concealed weapon.

(2,212 posts)I just did a moment's search online to find an article that discusses this gait of Putin's, and I've linked it below. I think it's important for people to be aware of this so that they recognize just how thuggish Putin is and how he manages to hold onto power by a constant subliminal message of violence.
