I know it's just compulsive attention-seeking by a very sad, lonely manchild but still, lol. Lmao even.

    I remember a few years ago it was literally a meme how tough Putin is. Former KGB agent, black belt in Judo, hell the man looks like he could kill you with his bare hands in less than 20 seconds.

    Give me a battle royale between all world leaders and I would bet my money on Putin without a second thought.

      Even if none of that shit was true, does anyone even believe that Musk has been in a normal ass fight in his life? Little piss baby carried around daddy's emeralds in his pockets and wants me to think he's tough? I've met 14 year old kids that would fuck him up.

      Don't forget all of the rumors about him wrestling grizzly bears as a child... There was even a photoshopped image of Putin riding a bear like a horse that did the rounds. I doubt half of the wild shit I've heard about him is true, but I wouldn't want to wait until I was locked in a cage with the guy to find out which parts were made up.

        Dude is probably as physically soft a bureaucrat as anyone else, it's the fact that he is a killer psychologically that makes him dangerous.

      Vladimir Putin is at best 5'7. One of my favorite revealing details about him is that he's stacked his cabinet with individuals significantly shorter than him, including Medvedev at 5'4.

      I'm not saying Putin is completely unskilled but don't get it twisted: the tough guy badass martial arts master KGB superspy turned world leader IS a carefully constructed and projected piece of propaganda.

      I mean, he looks like a 70-year-old man who still hits the gym. Would I start a fight with him? No. Am I terrified of him? Also no. Pretty sure we'd just go down in a pile of limbs scrabbling at each other and the worst injuries would be to our respective dignity.

      I'd still take Putin kicking the tar out of Elon 9 times out of 10. But only because Musk's a doughy 50-year-old pot head.
