A prominent oligarch told friends that Putin's 'psychiatric health is bad' He and other billionaires are fearful over the leader's next moves in Ukraine Investigative journalist Christo Grozev said oligarchs believe Putin has cancer

An oligarch close to Vladimir Putin has warned friends that his 'psychiatric health is bad' and there is a 'very real' threat he could use nuclear weapons.

The prominent billionaire has told associates that the Kremlin leader's 'psychiatric health is bad indeed, and 'stories about him going bonkers are not a joke'.

He and others with huge business empires closely tied to Putin, 69, are fearful over his next moves in the barbaric invasion of Ukraine.

Rumours about the Russian leader's ill health have been circling in recent months after he was seen holding a table for support and shaking his hand uncontrollably.

Sources have claimed he is suffering from Parkinson's or cancer and he has been seen in public less frequently.

The revelation comes as Putin today hosts a vast Red Square parade with 11,000 troops, showing off his missiles and tanks in a display of might to the West.

His Doomsday plane - from which he can control Russia in a nuclear war - is also featuring in the Victory Day commemoration for the first time in 12 years, a sign of deep tension with the West.

A trusted source said: 'People who personally know [this oligarch close to Putin] and other [insiders] have told me that big business closely affiliated to power are sitting as quiet as mice because the emperor's madness is real, and the nuclear strike's threat is very real, too.

Those 'most strongly opposed to the war' in the elite 'have shut up' because of the dangers of challenging him.

Sad to see that Unnamed Sources has been supplanted by “a trusted” source

The MSM is no longer slouching towards Soviet Pravda... We are Here!

Jill bidEn went to shore up the Ukraine troops over the weekend.

Those that are following the 'war' for what it is, a war between The Great Reset (Schwab/Deep State/Central Banksters FIAT) and The Great Awakening (Alliance of forces/Precious-Metals-backed Currency) know the stakes involved. And know which side MUST win, regardless of the notions of the past of Putin/Russia.

Putin is using the "crazy man" strategem.

I have used it many times in negotiations and can attest to its effectiveness.

It is difficult to defend against.

Today is VE Day where Russia is celebrating their victory over the Nazis, it’s ironic to me the in the end Hitler was portrayed as going insane with failing health and now the same allegations are being made against Putin

In Hitler’s case it was true and numerous assassination attempts were made, you wonder about Putin’s case

Have pondered this before:

Does Putin have sole authority to order a nuclear strike?
If so, will his orders be followed - or is there a possibility a relatively sane General would risk his life by countermanding?

The “Crazy Man Strategy” worked for Communist China for decades when they had the bomb but no economy.

It’s also worked for the Norks, Iran, etc.

I’m certainly no fan of mad dog killer Putin but DM seems to use plant stories quite often. They lead the anti Trump charge in the UK.

The man with his finger on the world’s largest nuclear launch button is senile, and the man with his finger on the world’s next largest is crazy. Great.
