Putin looking tired

[edit]

Someone on reddit asks of Putin, "Don't you think he looks tired?". Someone else replies "Oooh, nice reference."[1]

What was the reference? I assume the entertainment desk is the right place to ask this. tx 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 (talk) 22:38, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

He's due to turn 70 this year, hence he's no spring chicken. --←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots02:30, 1 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, IP-editor. I suppose the reference was:
Cheryl Teh (Feb 28, 2022), A former US ambassador to Russia says Putin is becoming 'increasingly unhinged' and 'disconnected from reality'
linked on the Reddit page you pointed at. --CiaPan (talk) 12:45, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think the reference was to the Dr. Who episode "The Christmas Invasion". "No you're right. Not a single word. Just six."  --Lambiam 10:50, 3 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
