Russia President Vladimir Putin is planning on using his doppelgangers to avoid arrest for alleged war crimes.As Knewz previously reported, the foreign leader has spent years using body doubles at public appearances to dodge potential assassination attempts.Now, Kremlin insiders are saying the 70-year-old president is ordering hundreds of more doubles in an “ultra paranoid” episode Putin is allegedly going through amid the recent charges levied against him.The International Criminal Court sent out the warrants for Putin and “chief child catcher” Maria Lvova-Belova arrest after a video of them surfaced discussing the deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia.Lvova-Belova boasted about “adopting” a 15-year-old Mariupol boy to the Russian president in a TV interview last month. Putin gave his approval, and the child is believed to be within Russian boarders.Vladimir Putin Orders Hundreds Of Body Doubles In Bid To Dodge Arrest (msn.com)
I know we differ on opinions about the war. However, I have to agree about Putin's cowardice. He is rippiing children away from their mothers and relocating them to Russia. Same with the orphans. I heard he is forcing Russian parents to adopt them. I don't know if that is true, but I recall one article claiming that.Skans » 20 Mar 2023, 10:54 am » wrote: ↑ Putin is paranoid and scared.

However, look how long it took, the US to get Bin Laden. Just goes to show, you can hide out for a very long time and no one is going to bother you.
I really don't know whether that is true or not either. I'm skeptical about this kind of information from either side. Lots of propaganda floating around. IMHO, the only thing that really matters for right now is "body count" on each side, and who can hold onto what territory.Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 12:04 pm » wrote: ↑ I know we differ on opinions about the war.

When were you over there, and for how long?Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 10:04 am » wrote: ↑ Though I believe Putin was justified in the invasion, he isn't justified in kidnapping kids. He has, and still is, committing war crimes. Maybe the US perpetuated his insanity by getting involved. Would he have ever done this if we hadn't given the support we did. Russia would have taken Ukraine by now, it's hard to believe that this war would have lasted more than a year had America not gotten involved. I don't know what Putin was thinking when doing these crimes, maybe he is desperate now. I don't know.

That's what Bush did in affie - led ops repeatedly in iraq, while his staff begged him to let the professional soldiers handle it.Skans » 20 Mar 2023, 10:54 am » wrote: ↑ Putin is paranoid and scared. If he were a true war leader, he would be bold enough to lead his troops to battle in Ukraine.
Putin probably is paranoid and likely has body doubles --- but I seriously doubt the ICC and their vaunted arrest warrant have a damn thing to do with it... Does anyone (let alone Putin) realistically believe Vlad is going to be escorted out of Russia in handcuffs?... The ICC (which is out of the Hague) has no Police or Enforcement Body to make such arrests... They are dependent on an international collective to do such, which ain't gonna happen..Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 10:04 am » wrote: ↑ Though I believe Putin was justified in the invasion, he isn't justified in kidnapping kids.

Yes. I have been in the center of it all since the whole thing began. I am here now.
Yes. Him and his commanders and soldiers.Did you witness Putin grabbing children from a long distance vantage point, or were you in the thick of the action?
Yes. They weren't happy about it. But they all fear for their lives and the safety of their children. So, they are agreeing to it.Were you able to converse with any of the body doubles, get their perspective?
Thank you! I am just doing my job.Kudos, BTW, on the intrepid reportage. Takes balls to go into an active war zone and get the facts on the ground, as you have done.
Vegas went over there, saw it with his own eyes.Warcok » 20 Mar 2023, 12:49 pm » wrote: ↑ How do we know for sure Putin is kidnapping children? Zelinski is jailing everyone that disagrees with him and the media in Ukraine is now state run.
I've met some and have worked with a few. I won't go into what either one of them do. I'll just say that one (a male) was very bright but seemed very paranoid, almost as if he was sure someone was going to kill him. Another (a woman) was also very bright and a lot more "normal" for American standards. However, she was uncomfortable talking about how things worked in Russia - preferred to focus on what she was doing now and would get off that topic rather quickly.Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 12:46 pm » wrote: ↑ Have you ever met a Russian? I have only met a handful. I used to work with one. She was very stoic. Rarely smiled, had resting bitch face. I can't imagine her raising an adopted kid. Hell, I couldn't imagine her raising her own kid.

You make a good point there.Cannonpointer » 20 Mar 2023, 12:53 pm » wrote: ↑ That's what Bush did in affie - led ops repeatedly in iraq, while his staff begged him to let the professional soldiers handle it.
I'll never forget how inspired I was when Reagan personally led the daring raid against the communist monolith in Grenada. He is played by clint eastwood, ya know.
Need to stop reading propaganda. Children were relocated from pro Russian areas of Ukraine like donbas. Areas attacked since 2014 by neo nazi Ukrainian troops. It's a safety measure.Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 12:04 pm » wrote: ↑ I know we differ on opinions about the war. However, I have to agree about Putin's cowardice.

Which is **** stupid, but carry on. Putin has attacked civilian infrastructure, hit civilian targets, killed innocent people. The war crime is moving children with Russian sympathies out of a combat area is the crime they are alleging? Think harder.Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 1:41 pm » wrote: ↑ I don't believe anyone's source. Not your either. Wherever you got it from. I am looking at what the war crimes he is being charged with and going from there.

My "source" is objective reading of reporting from this cluster **** of a conflict. I trust myself. Putin stands accused of an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of deaths immediately relatable to this so called unprovoked invasion. The warrant is for removing the children of Russia sympathetic Ukraine citizens away from a battlefield. Even you should see the disconnect here. They aren't charging Putin with killing civilians, which obviously has occurred. They are charging him with removing children with with parents sympathetic to Russia from a war zone. Did Zelensky intend to use these kids as leverage?Vegas » 20 Mar 2023, 2:09 pm » wrote: ↑ Did I hit a sore spot? LOL! If you are getting this defensive, then perhaps you should rethink why you trust your source.
