THIS is the bizarre moment Vladimir Putin, Xi Jinping and Kim Jong-un were caught on a hot mic discussing IMMORTALITY.
The bloodcurdling moment was caught on a livestream as three men walked together with a gang of other world leaders.

Vlad, Xi and Kim were leading the group as they went to go watch China’s biggest ever military parade.
The broadcast featured the three despots discussing how biotechnology could result in humans living up to 150.
Putin even then speculates that repeated organ transplants could let us “perhaps even achieve immortality”.
All three – who had never met before – are known for their strict, highly choreographed appearences in front of the cameras.
And catching them in an unguarded moment talking amongst themselves is unprecdented.
The live video, mainly covered by voice-over in English, was relayed via international wire services .
China’s radio and TV administration said CCTV’s coverage of the event was viewed 1.9 billion times online and by more than 400 million on TV.
The rest of their conversation was not broadcast to the world.
Xi, 72, says to Putin in exchange: “Earlier, people rarely lived to 70, but these days at 70 years you are still a child.”
Putin, 72, then replies: “With the development of biotechnology, human organs can be continuously transplanted, and you people can live younger and younger, and even achieve immortality.”
Xi adds: Predications are, this century, there’s a chance of also living to 150.”
Kim, 41, does not speak during the exchange – but can be seen listening intently and smiling.
The feed then cuts away and the rest of exchange is not caught on the hot mic.
The video cut to a wide shot of Tiananmen Square and the audio faded.
Just over 30 seconds later, Xi, Putin and Kim reappeared on camera as they walked on the steps toward the viewing platform for the parade.
Xi, Putin and Kim put on a united front as China marked the end of World War 2 with its largest ever military parade.
China’s president warned the world will soon face a choice between “peace or war” as he looks to spearhead a new world order alongside North Korea and Russia.

The lavish event saw 50,000 spectators – including 26 international leaders – watch as China celebrated the 80th anniversary of the end of World War Two.
Trucks with new laser weapons, hypersonic nuclear missiles, robot dogs and an array of high tech drones were all unveiled as Beijing sent a message to the West.
With the world watching, Xi smiled as he walked flanked by Kim and Vlad – with an array of 23 other world leaders in tow.
Back in Washington, US President Donald Trump lashed out at the first ever meeting between the tyrannical trio.
Speaking directly to Xi, Trump wrote on Truth Social: “Please give my warmest regards to Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong Un, as you conspire against the United States of America.”
The parade was a chance for Xi to flaunt his military might on the biggest stage.
The main event of the arsenal unveiling was the Dongfeng-5C hypersonic nuke – a 183-tonne monster that can carry up to 12 warheads.
China claims it can hit anywhere in the world and fly at speeds of Mach 22 – 16,700mph – meaning it could reach the US in as little as 20 minutes.
Speaking in front of thousands of People’s Liberation Army troops, Xi announced: “Today, mankind is faced with the choice of peace or war, dialogue or confrontation, win-win or zero-sum.”
He told those watching on at Tiananmen Square that he will ensure the Chinese people “firmly stand on the right side of history“.
Moments later he said it was the army’s duty to unify China – a direct swipe at his looming invasion of Taiwan.
A proud Xi smiled as he rode in an open-top limousine through the parade as he inspected the troops and the brand-new Chinese military equipment.
As he went past the huge lines of armed soldiers they all stood to attention and chanted back at Xi: “We serve the people.”
The ceremony lasted for around 70 minutes as helicopters and fighter jets flew overhead.
The grand show ended with the release of 80,000 peace doves and a colourful assortment of balloons.
Xi, Putin and Kim all seek to directly challenge the West – whether through China’s constant threats to invade Taiwan by force, Russia’s refusal to end the war in Ukraine or Kim’s worrying nuclear arsenal.
The newly formed bloc were seated next to each other at the start of the parade with Xi sat bang in the centre.
ANALYSIS: Godfather Xi has created a new global mafia to fight the West
By Henry Holloway, Deputy Foreign Editor
STOMPING boots, massive new missiles, and rumbling tanks — China’s biggest-ever military parade was a perfectly choreographed piece of pantomime.
And while the visuals, with waving red flags and shouting soldiers, delighted the ragtag group of world leaders assembled, its main target audience was the West.
You don’t have to listen too hard to hear what Xi was saying — it was clear and simple: “I’m the boss now.”
With his two guests of honour being Kim Jong-un and Vladimir Putin, Xi towered over them like a mob boss being paid a handsome tribute by his favourite capos.
Smiling as both tubby tyrant Kim and diminutive despot Vlad fawned over him, Xi sits firmly on top as the Godfather of this new global mafia.
Both Russia and North Korea are now beholden to China.
Kim’s beggar kingdom has always been dependent on the grace of Beijing, and with Moscow now locked in a war it can’t win in Ukraine, it needs China more than ever.
Xi clearly has no problem hosting pariahs, also welcoming Iran’s president, Masoud Pezeshkian, along with a hodgepodge of others with axes to grind against the West.
Donald Trump’s spiky Truth Social post during the parade — reminding China what it owes to the West — clearly shows the monster display may have already rattled some in Washington, D.C.
China’s military is growing at an alarming rate — and as Xi brings together his new syndicate of allies, the West has to sit up, take notice, and take action.
It feels like it will only be a matter of time until Xi decides it is time to truly test the West.
And it could be with the breakaway island of Taiwan that he chooses to make his first move.
