Putin celebrates women with the cold eyes of doom
Sometimes people say words with their mouths but their faces tell you they don't give one tiny shit about what they're saying.
This is not Vladimir Putin! The Russian president is a man of sincerity.
Look at this tweet in which he congratulates women on International Women's Day, and feel enveloped in warm compassion.

Wow! Am I suddenly wrapped in a blanket?
I don't know about all the women out there, but I have literally never been in the presence of a deeper love than I am right now. That is the genuine face of a man watching his daughter blow out the candles on her birthday cake, the face of a man unable to control his radiant joy upon simply looking at the woman who has chosen to marry him. It is not the face of a man whose rubber-stamp government recently decriminalized domestic violence, and it is definitely not the face of professional wrestler Stone Cold Steve Austin!
Very different. That is not the face of someone who would say "Happy Women's Day," and mean it.
No.
