Putin and Xi Zinping want immortality

Never mind world order domination, the war in Ukraine, the rising power of China and the battle with the West and democracy, what Vladimir Putin and Xi Zinping are really interested in is immortality. They are considering organ transplants to keep them alive for many more decades. Their conversation, overheard when they didn't realise the microphone was on during their meeting in Beijing, was pretty gruesome. They actually shared the same belief that if they had other's presumably much younger vital organs that would keep them alive, like for ever. Putin and Xi for ever! Heaven help us and the world. The most extraordinary thing was that both leaders admitted to each other that they had been having the same thoughts about their future. It was like a sci-fi, thinking it might be their best path to live much much longer, and presumably stay in power much much longer. It would be funny if it wasn't both distasteful and somewhat obscene. The golden rule for political leaders is that if you are going to have a conversation like this, it's better to do it in total privacy, away from microphones. Too many damaging remarks have been caught on a "hot" mic over the years, like when Obama promised Putin that if he won the election in the US, he would reset relations with the Russian leader and all would be fine.
