It Looks Like Those who speculated about Putin’s health may have been correct
American Thinker ^ | 05/02/2022 | Andrea Widburg

Even before the Ukraine war began, people were speculating that something was physically wrong with Putin. He looked puffy, not as if he’d gained weight, but as if he were reacting to medicines. Speculation escalated with recent videos showing him clutching a table and with a badly shaking hand. Now, The Sun, a British tabloid, is claiming that Putin is going under the knife for a cancer operation, as well as suffering from Parkinson’s.

As early as January 3, Britain’s Telegraph paper was suggesting that Putin is seriously ill. The five pieces of evidence it reported were his puffy face; the excessive distance Putin kept from people, as evidenced by the long table between him and France’s Macron, a possible sign of a weakened immune system; intelligence reports such as one that Marco Rubio alluded to, saying something was off about Putin; a Russian academic’s claims that Putin has both cancer and Parkinson’s; and Putin’s sudden desire to force a conclusion over his claims about Ukraine, a possible sign that he wants the matter resolved before imminent retirement or death.

In March, Mundo Hispanico reported that Putin’s puffy face indicated poor health. The article noted that Putin’s face was noticeably puffy and reported on rumors that the puffiness was from steroids he was taking to treat cancer. Part of his warlike behavior, some speculated, could be ‘roid rage.

All the rumors escalated about ten days ago when Putin was interviewed and spent the entire interview clutching the table with his right hand, while he seemed to prop himself up in his chair. (Postural instability is one of the signs of Parkinson’s.):

Well, whatever Putin has is treatable. What Biden has is terminal. And after Biden comes komaramalama ... or .... worse.
After Putin, Russia probably has someone who makes Hitler look like a friendly neighbor.
I don’t know WTF we are doing backing Ukraine. It would make as much sense to back North Korea or Cuba.
BTW - who here remembers how and why North Korea got nuclear weapons?

His health has to be horrendous for him to agree to surgery 8n the middle of this war. I'd be surprised if he laster the rest of this year.

Which means that Ukraine just needs to resist until then, because at that point, Russia can cut a different deal that doesn't have to save Putin face.

Go out like Michael Jackson. A little extra propofol should do the trick.

In a media interview. Remember Biden standing with clenched fists, as if trying to hold onto an object that is not there?

My understanding is he’s worse than Putin.

All the FReepers getting excited over Putin dying might change their minds after the replacement starts issuing commands.

Not to worry, the new Russian, Chinese, Iranian, North Korean Olympics will restore the excitement and luster. A whole host of new events will be staged: like Best Orc Warrior, Best Wood Chipper, Best Live Target Shooting, Best Wolf Warrior, etc.

Cancer surgery? What’s the over/under pool on this one?

Depends on the category: scalpel, poison, lead, banana peel, etc.

That might be better TV than the actual Olympics.
I think you’re on to something.
And everyone can be as doped up as they like.

At the time of Putins real shirtless pic (post 17) we had this representing us in the White House...

so even a few us admired Putin's show of national strength by comparison back then. Since then the more sinister and pure evil that Putin is has overshadowed the fun poking of the magic negro.

There’s an additional element to the rumors, he has a cancer doctor travelling with him wherever he goes.

I feel very sorry for Putin. He has committed vile acts and has caused suffering of millions. The sorrow I feel comes from realizing tyhat he does not have much time to set things right now, and if he meets his jus=dgement without even repenting, let alone taking on the suffering he himslef has caused, then he will be an object of inhuman suffering for a millenia or more, perhaps forever.

Putin is really not in a very good place in terms of a human soon to face the Divine. He is one poor bugger.

I agree. No matter what you may think of him, Putin is still a soul loved by God.
