Does Someone on Polymarket Know That Putin Is Going Down?
Yahoo ^ | Fri, July 3, 2026 | Victor Tangermann

Posted on 07/03/2026 2:43:28 PM PDT by UMCRevMom@aol.com

"As NBC News reports, the account is called "ZnotluvuiSamez," and features the Ukrainian flag as its profile picture. The account made multiple big bets surrounding the Russo-Ukrainian war, including $409,000 on a contract that asks if "Putin out as President of Russia by December 31, 2026?"

According to users' overall bets, there's currently a "11 percent chance" that Putin will be out by the end of the year.

Of course, a massive bet is far from a guarantee that Putin will no longer be president, whether through an ouster or a decision to step down. For one, Putin isn't up for reelection until four years from now โ€” and given the country's track record, it's not like the democratic process is being in any way respected regardless.

The news comes after Moscow was hammered by renewed Ukrainian drone strikes, with former US defense secretary Leon Panetta telling NewsNation on Wednesday that "it's clear right now that Putin is cornered in this situation and is not quite sure what to do."

"He obviously ought to, frankly, negotiate some kind of ceasefire, but knowing Putin, he will continue to resist that, and Russia is going to pay the price," he added.

Ehile there's no evidence to suggest an imminent ouster, the sheer amount of insider trading on Polymarket lends the enormous bet at least some credence.

At the same time, the war in Ukraine is showing no sign of letting up, with Putin ruling out any future peace talks. In other words, it's not looking likely that the president will simply hang up his coat in the middle of a raging conflict โ€” and after over 26 years of ruling Russia with an iron fist."

Russia is littering Ukraine with anthrax-infected livestock, dumping cattle carcasses less than a mile away from residential areas described as โ€œbiological terrorism.โ€

I think I saw it 1st in UK news sources.

Good work by The Post for hopping on it.

Anthrax can be survived if caught in time. Unfortunately, that time is BEFORE one shows symptoms. :-(

---- "Good work by The Post for hopping on it."

Two weeks after the following Ukrainian sources all reported the same.

Russia Dumps Anthrax-Infected Cattle Near Homes in Occupied Kherson, Ukraine Says United24 Media, 23 June 2026.

โ€˜Biological Terrorism': Russia Burying Anthrax-Infected Livestock Kyiv Post, 23 June 2026.

Ukraine's intelligence warns of Russian biological terrorism in Kherson region News Ukraine, RBC, 23 June 2026.

"Hopping on it" two weeks late.

The early reports were all from highly biased sources, so I imagine The Post would do an investigation. Didn’t they get burned on something initially from pro-Ukie sources a little while back? (I could be thinking of some other US’ news org.)

In any event, “hopping” does not necessarily imply a rush to make such an action, nor did I intend such a meaning. (You need to observe some rabbits leisurely moving around a yard, sometimes hopping, as I’ve seen often.) I was merely noting that The Post had picked up on the story. Many major Euro news sources did so about the same time as The Post. If I’d intended to convey alacrity, I’d have said “they hopped right on it.” or “they hopped on that, quickly.”

Now, if you have a useful comment to make on the story itself, please proceed.

--- "The early reports were all from highly biased sources, so I imagine The Post would do an investigation."

In the second paragraph of the article, the NY Post article actually links to:

Biological Terrorism: russians Creating Conditions for the Spread of Anthrax in Kherson region Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, 24 June 2026

The DIU report is the only source for their report, and as such is two weeks behind the news cycle. Please note the three other links with which I commented in # 64 are from one day before, coming from United24, Kyiv Post and RBC Ukraine.

I have not found "early reports" other than these which you assert to be highly biased sources. The NY Post has not to date investigated and reported further, as best I can find.

What were the early "highly biased reports" you mentioned?

Just ignore W.O.U.T. like everyone else! His comments reveal that he ‘can’t see the forest for the trees.’ *

* unable to grasp the the main point or larger issue due to an obsession concentrating on trivial aspects.

Treatment
The standard treatment for anthrax is use of antibiotics, and in some cases antitoxin. The specific antibiotic chosen will depend on a range of factors, including if thereโ€™s a need to treat many people. Which single antibiotic or combination of antibiotics, and the length of treatment, will be most effective for you depends on how you were infected with anthrax, the strain of anthrax, your age, your overall health and other concerns. Treatment works best when started as soon as possible.

“The rona got him. Itโ€™s only a matter of time.”

Little late to use the coronavirus, Covid-19, as an excuse Covid-19 for Putin to be gone.
However truthfully, it is only a matter of time
