Year-end annual press conference by President Putin

The annual press conference by Russian President Putin was held recently.

As reporters awaited at a social distance, he appeared on stage of a large venue that was more empty than usual. His chest was broad and dignified, and he had a calm and sharp look. He looked ageless and not at all his actual age of 69, as if his aging process had stopped at some point.

This year's press conference did not have his speech at the beginning, and he immediately started with a question and answer session which lasted for four hours as usual. It is foolish to compare, but it was the exact opposite of the "press conference" by Mr. and Mrs. Komuro, which had only the opening remarks. Theirs was more similar to an elementary school graduation ceremony; it was just a childish and one-sided comment.

Putin is not very tall at 170 cm, but his judo-trained body is beautiful. In a position like his, he probably often eats full-course meals, but he doesn't have any flab at all.

Maintaining a beautiful body is the first condition of intelligence. I have to say that fat men are stupid and arrogant, no matter how well educated they are. I can't believe the lack of awareness of the illnesses caused by obesity and the shameless sense of exposing an ugly fat body in front of a partner.

Young men who only study and work lack muscles and look like a bean sprout. This is a type that is often found among Japanese bureaucrats and office workers. Many have a serious and mild-mannered personality, but because of this body shape, they don't look sexy.

Government agencies and large corporations, regardless of nationality, are command hierarchies, and staff are eunuch officials who have been mentally castrated and lost their own will. For this reason, I am not attracted to them, which makes it easier to work with them.

Mr. Putin is in sharp contrast with these people. In addition to having physical beauty, which is the first condition of intelligence, he shows keen intelligence in every aspect. All he has at the press conference is a notepad to write down the questions and some data, and he remembers all the ideas needed to answer them.

When I talked to a Russian government official, she said the entire government prepares for this year-end press conference. President Putin digests the material and answers each question with persuasive power. He is the only one on stage, and he never asks staff for help.

He looks much smarter than the recent U.S. presidents. Is that why America tries to pick a fight with Russia?

It's a complete delusion, but I would love to date President Putin once. Rather than talking about current affairs and political issues, I would like to feel his aura while having a casual conversation about his everyday life, such as the state of his Akita Inu dog.
