Warmonger Putin issues an ominous warning to young people
Vladimir Putin appeared to have restless legs for the second time in a week during a speech to young Russians in Kamchatka.
The Russian leader flew across nine time zones on his way to Kamchatka - a peninsula of glaciers and volcanoes in the Pacific - but questions about the 69-year-old's health were heightened after a disturbing display on stage .
Putin's alleged health problems have increased since his invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, with some sources in Russia reporting that the Kremlin speaker has Parkinson's disease and cancer.
>He seemed to bewilder his audience of young environmentalists as he attempted to boast of the greatness of the Russian land in a clunky, rambling speech while on stage with a microphone.

"But further east of Japan is Kamchatka, or Sakhalin [Russia's largest island].
“Further east is New Zealand. And further east of New Zealand is Chukotka [a Russian province almost adjoining Alaska].
"And then there is only a 60-kilometer-wide [37-mile] strait to America. In that sense, the Land of the Rising Sun is Russia."
While speaking on stage, he was unable to keep his feet from twitching as he leaned to the right side of his chair and circled his left foot while seated.
Putin also told the audience in the regional capital Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky: "There is an expression, and whoever told me about it, I promised to reproduce it out loud in public one day.
>"You must live to die.
"As strange as it may seem in your humanitarian field, it is something worth living."
