Putin breaks out the Kremlin's ridiculously long table to meet with the head of the UN

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Russian President Vladimir Putin dusted off the Kremlin's infamously long table to meet with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres in Moscow on Tuesday.

Putin has now met with a handful of high-profile individuals at opposite ends of a 13-foot-long white wooden table, including French President Emmanuel Macron.

Macron said he was stationed at one end of the table after refusing to take a Russian-made COVID-19 test before meeting with Putin; the French leader said he was concerned the Russians would use the sample to steal his DNA.

Media reports have claimed that Putin has obsessed over his health during the pandemic. The impractically lengthy table may be used to limit his exposure to other people, the Guardian reported. It could also be an attempt to appear intimidating or to show off his power in Russia to guests, according to the newspaper.

4. Stand up, pick up your chair, and

carry it down to 6' from his Kakistocratic ass, set it down, and sit.

If Putin runs away from that provocation like he's Donald Trump, well, there was no point in talking to him anyway. He's a sociopathic gaslighting war criminal.

some form of hearing loss — common in folks over 65.
