John Sweeney, a prominent British investigative journalist who has long covered Russian President Vladimir Putin, wrote in his new book that he feels the leader looks "seriously ill" with puffy cheeks that make him resemble a hamster.
In his forthcoming book (out July 21), Killer in the Kremlin, Sweeney described changes he has noticed in Putin's demeanor and physical appearance that he said scare him. He theorized the use of steroids for Putin's changes, noting the president could have started taking the medication years ago to treat a back injury sustained after falling off a horse. According to Sweeney, this could have led to a pattern of steroid abuse, which can cause a litany of health problems, such as major organ damage and tumors.
Rumors about Putin's health have been swirling for several months. Some people have cited videos of the Russian president appearing shaky or tense as evidence that he might have Parkinson's disease, even though some medical experts have disputed such talk. In April, an investigative report from Proekt Media claimed Putin was accompanied by doctors—including a thyroid cancer surgeon—on trips from 2016 to 2019. The report also said Putin may have undergone surgery several years ago, but it did not directly say whether he was diagnosed with cancer or any other illness.
In his book, Sweeney said steroid poisoning may be afflicting Putin.

People predicting hated politicians will collapse any minute - they have a dry poor track record.

Jerry Nadler’s heart was supposed to blow up.
Biden was supposed to collapse and die any minute.

I thought Hyman Roth was assassinated at Miami airport...
The scary consideration is that he is a COmmunist regardless of his support of the Orthodox Church, he is himself an atheist and therefore may have no qualms about a final solution for the world if he perceives himself as losing in Ukraine.
