Vladimir Putin ‘struggles to hide anger’ as he threatens Russia ‘entitled’ to fire missiles at UK

Body language expert Judi James has ran her eye over Russian president Vladimir Putin after his latest speech, as she revealed he was struggling to hide his emotions

Russian tyrant Vladimir Putin “struggled to hide his anger” in a speech delivered this evening, according to a body language expert.

In a nationwide address on television as he made his first appearance in nearly two weeks, the war mongerer said today's strike was in response to Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory with U.S. and British missiles earlier this week. Chillingly, he added Russia would issue advance warnings before firing on its enemies - to allow civilians to get to safety.

During his speech, in which he threatened the UK, USA and other NATO members, he remained seated - but gave enough away for body language expert Judi James to pick up on several clues. She said: “There was none of his usual bristling with anger and very little in the way of openly expressed anger in his features, either.

"Those hands didn't move, neither did his torso. His micro eye-dart suggested he was reading from an auto-cue and he began in a pose of performed concern, with his right eyebrow held in a frown that curled upward on the inner corner and a heavily furrowed brow.

“At one point his voice became slightly hoarse and he cleared his throat, which could suggest inner tension. A slight tightening of his top lip at one point suggested some suppressed anger but he mostly seemed to want to behave and project as though he was on the side of right here.

“Sitting leaning forward onto his arms, with his elbows splayed out and his well- manicured hands folded and immobile on the table in front of him, Putin sat within an intimate distance from the camera and his overall chosen projected state seemed to be one of calm, unwavering solidity and reasonableness.

"There was a micro-sneer of his right nostril as he said he was 'Not changing' and spoke about 'Our army successfully advancing'. His slight head tilt as he spoke suggested a sense of appeasement with his audience. His small head batons suggested righteousness, as did the way his eyes narrowed as he spoke.”

Putin boasted of his new weapons, known as Oreshnik, which attack at speeds of Mach 10 and travel around 3kms a second. He added not even the U.S would be capable of intercepting the Russian missiles.

He said in a statement: "I would like to inform the personnel of the Russian Armed Forces, the citizens of our country, our friends around the world , as well as those who continue to harbour illusions about the possibility of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia, about the events taking place today in the SVO zone, namely after the use of long-range weapons of Western manufacture on our territory."
