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.'

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.

Most people believe what they want to believe, yet almost nobody knows what is really going on, including me.

Reading the posts from people on this site (and others) has me scratching my head.

Stand up against the psychos and the evil.

Not easy to accomplish. The psychos and evil got into power because they are surrounded by many just as psycho and evil. Hitler and his country wide support group is a case study as to why very few attempted to oppose him. Underling psychos took care of any opposition and it took total destruction to rid the world of them.

The Russians have a history of hiding the illnesses and incapacities of their leaders. Lenin, Stalin, Brezhnev, Andropov, etc. So, this wouldn't be too surprising.

But wait, it's the same with our press so long as the leader has a D after his name (Wilson - stroke, FDR - polio paralysis, Kennedy - Addisons, Johnson - heart condition, Clinton - adolescent mumps / sterility, Biden - senile dementia). The one "condition" I can recall the press reporting about Trump was smallish hands. But they sure reported it, knowing what it would sniggeringly imply. A senile guy who can't even control his bowels in charge of the launch codes? No problem.

Putin was a much younger man when he started making trouble.
So whatever theory you have is still applicable to Vlad. Yes?
If not, why not?

By trouble I mean a world war. Wilhelm was 55, Hitler 50. Putin is 69 and surrounded by young bucks ready to lace his nightcap with Boomer Doomer. He has no time left to conquer the world or reassemble an empire. But if he doesn’t set the stage for it, what good is he to anyone in the Kremlin?

GREAT! Both Putin and President Poopy Pants are mental defectos! I guess I can forget about ever getting a good night’s sleep again.


Come on man! It’s not like these two men control the majority of nuclear weapons on the planet.

Oh, wait.

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

Bingo - "let's all play 29 guesses about the guy in Moscow", while the guy with obvious long-term cognitive impairment is in Delaware (again)...

At least Biden can’t launch a nuke by himself

But now with Sony’s “My First Nuclear Football”, WWIII is easy and fun for kids of all ages!

I have long Covid. If anything delirium and confusion makes me less decisive. Maybe it’s ebb tide for Vlad and he senses old stitch is near.

Joe Biden: ‘Why the hell would I take a cognitive test?’

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden says he has not taken a cognitive test for dementia, adding that he trusts the public to decide if he is fit for office.

President Trump has previously spoken highly about his own results and has suggested that Mr Biden is not in the best mental state.
