Megalomania induced by cancer drugs was a factor in Vladimir Putin's decision to launch his disastrous war in Ukraine, new Western intelligence analysis claims.
-snip-
The analysis comes as the Kremlin yesterday admitted that concerns over Putin's health are now a matter of 'state security' amid Covid mutations and emerging flu strains.
This means the Russian leader may retreat even further from public gaze in early 2023 after having cancelled a series of events and appearances in recent months.

The Kremlin has paved the way for Putin to retreat for health-related reasons soon after his annual prerecorded New Year message to Russian citizens.
His spokesman Dmitry Peskov yesterday indicated there were now 'state security' concerns in Russia over Putin's medical condition.
'You see virus mutations, you see strong epidemiological waves of flu of various strains,' he said.
'All of this, given the lessons from the pandemic, obliges those responsible for the security of the president and for his health to take precautions, because in such conditions the health of the president is a matter of state security.'
Peskov said there would be no return anytime soon to Putin's modus operandi before the pandemic, when he regularly held public events and spoke with the media.
'To be honest, it is unlikely that [communication with journalists] will be quite the same as it used to be before the pandemic in the foreseeable future,' Peskov said.
'To expect things to return to what used to be would be a mistake. I would say - no it won't be [back to the same].
'But as these waves subside to their lowest points, then it would be possible to communicate in a freer mode.'

Putin saw 70 rapidly approaching and said to himself.......”it’s now or never”
The fact he has lost is irrelevant for the simple reason his foresight of an imminent death transcends the fatality of his beloved Mother Russia
“The devil made me do it”
Like it wasn’t something he’d ordinarily do. haha
Such dumbassery posted here every single day by paid pUkes.
Daily Mail manure.
“as Kremlin admits his health is ‘a matter of state security’”
Glad that doesn’t happen in the West, specifically the US.
Xi Jinping still uses Covid for his purposes in China as well.
Another day, Another Putin is dying from a new sickness story.
“Putin saw 70 rapidly approaching and said to himself.......”it’s now or never””
He also saw 8 million or so Russian speakers about to be ‘cleansed’ in Ukraine, so we’ll never know what his real motivation was.

FR just helps spread the manure around for the good or bad...
“He also saw 8 million or so Russian speakers about to be ‘cleansed’ in Ukraine...”
No, he didn’t. And you know he didn’t.
Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine if the democrats hadn’t stolen our election.
I blame it on American democrats.
Trump’s fault according to British Intelligence.
Ah yes, the same mofos who brought you the Russian collusion hoax and called Hunter Biden's laptop misinformation.
“No, he didn’t. And you know he didn’t.”
It was OBVIOUS to anyone following the events there, the including leaders of the world representing 85% of the population (the countries that HAVE NOT imposed sanctions on Russia).
...also the statements by Merkel and Hollande also fit the above ‘next step’. Too bad Russia got there first!
“When is our party going to going to demand a cognitive examination and report, as the democrats did?”
That would be divisive - now please apologize for stating that. We Republicans do not stoop down to such divisive issues (that’s why no one at the national level complains about drag queen shows targeting children).
