One week is really news??

 

[toythatkills]

Dude (or his subordinates) just ordered a hit on his most out-spoken opponent, so hiding from the spotlight makes sense.

Maybe he put himself in jail

 

[Angry Grimace]

Making preparations to somehow make it into the US unnoticed to watch the Hero of the Russian Federation Rusev crush that American upstart John Cena once and for all.

 

[braves01]

Didn't this happen to Kim Jong Un, and everyone was freaking out, but it turns out he was just getting fatter or something.

Cheese addiction is a serious health concern. Maybe he's in Briehab.

It's probably nothing, but if President Obama was out for such a long time, there would be a lot more worry.

I have some bad news for you.
Rusev has forsaken Lana in the wake of his humiliation at the hands of John Cena.
She's off to make movies with Edge while Putin hasn't been seen since his congratulations letter was read on RAW.
I'm not even sure he's aligned with Russia any more. Think he's some rogue Bulgarian primed to get bitch made by Cena the American bully.

 

[acksman]

He is leveling up.

 

[OG_Original Gamer]

He's playing COD, he's been getting his ass handed to him. Even though he has a gigabit connection. He may even be considering putting out a contracted hit on that annoying camper.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Mapping his brain to a robot body takes time.

This is my assumption

 

[Any Questions]

Dead or dead. Your coming with me.

 

[adj_noun]

Leave the hinterlands Putin!

No one leaves the hinterlands.

 

[Escape Goat]

Maybe he got a bad perm and he doesnt want anyone to see.

 

[BobTheFork]

He's probably just mourning the death of Boris Nemtsov

 

[Darkangel]

He's training in the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.

 

[Veritigo_X]

Maybe he got a bad perm and he doesnt want anyone to see.

I like this theory the best. More believable than him becoming Robocop. The best part is we won't ever know if it's true or not. Assume everything the Russian government says contradicting this to be a coverup.

 

[Skab]

I'm sure he's fine.

Nothing stops Rootin Tootin Putin

 

[Karolinen]

I bet he is playing War thunder.

 

[LQX]

If it was anything serious some spy would have relayed it to the NSA already which then some US senator would be tripping over themselves to tell the world Putin is kaput.

 

[DeaviL]

He has destroyed enough political adversaries and is now Evolving.
Next time he shows up, he'll be breathing fire.

Would not be the first time there was a major shakeup in Russian politics that nobody saw coming.

 

[jelly]

Preparing for Eurovision, not Europe invasion.

 

[Kaladin]

It was this guy.

 

[Xun]

Probably planning to kill more political competition.

 

[i-Lo]

Taking a dip in Lazarus Pit

 

[nateeasy]

My record is 16 days

 

[maquiladora]

Amiibo delivery has arrived? People posting this image on social media now.

 

[lastplayed]

I bet he is playing War thunder.

I think I was rammed by someone called xXx_put1n_0wnz_xXx the other day.

 

[StoopKid]

He's heading to Wrestlemania 31 to personally cheer on Rusev in his match against Cena.

Vince would have the biggest boner lol.

 

[JCreasy]

Snowden was the real life Brody the whole time. They must've finally had a face to face meeting.

And Obama is Saul.

Genius.

 

[A_Gorilla]

Much as I hate him, I feel like his death would cause more problems than it would solve, at least right now...

 

[Jarrod38]

Just taking vacation and swimming his pool filled with all his billions of dollars.

 

[GeordieMark]

He has obviously taken a week off work to chill at home in his PJs, getting high and playing videogames.

 

[jooey]

takes a while to find a new double. first the interviews, then the suit fittings, the wilderness training...

 

[Chariot]

It was this guy.

Taking a dip in Lazarus Pit

Ra's Putin, I see.

 

[adj_noun]

It was this guy.

Vlad Putin

Rlad Putin

Rad Putin

Ras Putin

:O

 

[Daffy Duck]

He's discovered Minecraft.

 

[ebullientprism]

City Skylines just came out. Coincidence? I dont think so.

 

[antonz]

Probably some kind of medical procedure. Kremlin cancelled his annual speech he gives to the FSB at the last minute.

If he were to die. Dmitry Medvedev takes over

 

[Trouble]

He's marathoning Game of Thrones and wishing he was as tall and handsome as the Russian president on the show.

 

[ebullientprism]

He's marathoning Game of Thrones and wishing he was as tall and handsome as the Russian president on the show.

Wrong show comrade.

 

[Trouble]

Wrong show comrade.

Oops, meant Game of Cards.

 

[The Last Wizard]

A week is nothing; that could be the flu, for instance. A month of absence is when it escalates from "could be the flu" to "could be a serious, debilitating illness."

Now that you bring this up, is it just me or do world leaders not really get sick and die often?

 

[Derpyduck]

Hiding in Robert Kraft's backyard hoping to get himself another ring.

 

[gutter_trash]

he probably has the flu or gastroenteritis

 

[i-Lo]

Ra's Putin, I see.

Well played good sir.

 

[Beardz]

 

[Daedardus]

Probably fell off a high horse and broke his ankle or something.

 

[maquiladora]

The reason why this is getting attention.

He has not dropped out of sight for more than a day since the early years of his 15-year rule, when he briefly went off the radar after the submarine Kursk sank in 2000 and when terrorists seized hundreds of hostages in a Moscow theater in 2002. The two incidents were major crises for Putin, but he has since weathered others of similar magnitude without dropping out of sight.

So it's either some kind of crisis that we don't know about or its something health related. If I had to guess I'd say it's not health related.

 

[EricTheCleric]

It was this guy.

close,

 

[mdubs]

Putin just be watching House of Cards, be chill homies
