Is Putin suffering 'delirium and confusion' due to Long COVID? Questions arise over Russian leader’s mental state after rumours of cancer and Parkinson’s disease

With the eyes of the world on Vladimir Putin, questions are being asked about the Russian leader's state of mind after he announced the invasion of Ukraine in 'rambling, terrifying, apocalyptic' fashion.

Rumours surrounding the Russian leader's health have been swirling for years, with repeated reports suggesting that he is suffering from cancer and Parkinson's disease.

On top of that, the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on both the President's physical and mental health can't be underestimated, and it's been suggested that brain fog as a result of Long Covid could be impairing his cognitive function.

Although it's not clear if he's had the virus, the Sputnik vaccine is not known to be reliable and after isolating in September after members of his inner circle tested positive he disappeared from view for a long period in October.

The US thinktank The Council For Foreign relations has speculated that, after behaviour and statements that are 'off' and 'not right,' he is suffering brain fog induced by Long Covid.

What's more, the isolation caused by the pandemic itself could have left the 69-year-old even further detached from reality, with one neuropsychologist claiming the 'progressive isolation' could have led to hubris syndrome, which 'diminished his ability to weigh up risk'.

Speaking to FEMAIL, Clinical Director at Medicine Direct. Hussain Abdeh explained how a person's mental state could be uprooted by the virus.

He explained: 'Research early on into the pandemic also found that a small number of people who tested positive for COVID-19 experienced sudden behavioural changes including delirium, confusion, and agitation.'

"As I noted on a related thread, the first two operating principles of our Democrat/corporate/media establishment are (1) lie 100% of the time, and (2) always accuse your opponents of what you are doing yourself. Given that Biden is obviously “unhinged” and suffering from “dementia”, I suspect such reports about Putin are completely fabricated. And once again, this is NOT intended to suggest that I endorse ex-KGB (or ex-CIA) officials as heads of state..."

I agree. Until this is resolved one way or the other, I treat many of these stories with extreme skepticism. Sadly, our own media and government lie just as much as Putin does.

Putin is going to tear the lid off the Clinton Foundation, Gates Foundation, Davos, and a whole lot of other gnarly stuff by getting control of Ukraine. He will expose everything and the media will call him insane. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.

Putin is also using apocalyptic rhetoric, saying recently that (in the event of nuclear war??) “we are going to paradise but they (the U.S.?) won’t have time to repent.”

He’s a megalomaniac who wants to restore the old Russian Empire of 300 years ago. Something has happened to his mind, and it’s very troubling.

You remember the movie The Dead Zone, where Martin Sheen stole the show as a “man of the people” who becomes president and launches a first strike on Russia? “My destiny”, his character called it. Well, I hope the contrary version is not happening here.

The only thing Putin is going to tear the head off of, is his ineffective military commanders.

Putin is acting very emotional and lady like. Maybe that is his normal state. Ive heard “rumors”.

It’s always watching our FR LiberalTarians have a hissy when anything negative about Putin is put out there. And you have to admit this invasion was just stupid. Russia loses no matter the outcome.

He can’t hold Ukraine and any puppets he installed will eventually be booted if not hanged.

Much of this may be true, and it may not be true.

Our government lies a lot. And our intelligence services as far as I can see are idiots, Keystone Cops and ideologically chosen political appointees.

But I think it is a safe bet that between our senile fake president and Russia and China, we are in one seriously precarious position.

I have no idea if my response has any merit it’s just throwing out ideas when you can’t believe anything in the media

And, he would not be the first dictator to suppose that success is a great deodorant.

I disagree.

Now RIGHT GUARD, that is a great deodorant!

If people under him would refuse to carry out his orders, then he couldn’t do this. Same with Justin Trudeau, people need to refuse to carry out his dangerous orders. Stand up against the psychos and the evil.

You've heard nothing but what the agitprop media has told you. None of us has. I don't trust a single thing they say anymore about anything. I think they'd sell out their own grandmother if they could. (And they did, if you look at their COVID coverage.)

I thought this article was about Putin, but we’re talking about Brandon again.

Yep. It's also called "Not on my border." Strange how we don't seem to have a problem with that stuff going on at our border here in North America.
