Since the war began, Putin has been declared dead with Russia using a body double in his place. He's had stomach, thyroid and blood cancer and survived! He's had Parkinson's. His hands were to blue and, now, he has jelly-fish legs.

The only thing that hasn't been reported, yet, is that he has erectile dysfunction.

The issue with the zeepers (and the mass media) is the obsession with “Putin”, as if he is the problem and that their desired outcome will be achieved with his demise or removal.

This is infantile thinking, “great man” illusions, and we’ve done it for a long time. Get “Saddam” - result - worse. Get “Gadaffi” - result - worse.

Even the Magic Mustache Man analogy is false, because his removal occurred only after his country was overrun, his cities destroyed, and a million or more of his soldiers were killed.

Putin is in power because of how Russia is, not Russia is how it is because Putin is in power. If Putin’s “Special Military Operation” fails, his replacement will be much more inclined towards Operation Bagration than towards singing “Imagine” on New Years Eve.
