Putin's Bizarre Memory Lapse Sparks 'Dementia' Rumors
Newsweek ^ | July 19, 2023 | Brendan Cole

Posted on 07/20/2023 3:50:19 PM PDT by aculeus

Putin got confused about the age of the child of a deputy mayor during a discussion at the Kremlin, sparking social media comments about the state of the Russian president's health. Unproven rumors have persisted about Putin's condition since the start of his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. These have included that the Russian president has cancer, Parkinson's disease, and even dementia. The Kremlin has insisted Putin is in good health. However, adding to the speculation was footage from Wednesday's meeting of the group "Russia—the Land of Opportunities," a non-profit set up in 2018 to help citizens develop business ideas. The clip tweeted by Uliana Yapparova, a blogger who tweets about Russia and Ukraine, shows Putin speaking with Ivan Shtokman, who had given Putin a potted history of his journey from working in a bakery to building an IT business. The transcript and video of the full meeting lasting more than 90 minutes was also available on the Kremlin website. Wearing a military uniform, Shtokman described how success in a management competition had propelled him to deputy mayor of the city of Nizhny Novgorod where his brief included IT, tourism, and developing businesses. But Shtokman said that he felt a patriotic pull while sitting on a bench at his dacha (summer house) with his son. "The future of the country is now being decided," he told Putin, explaining his decision to join the army.

According to my Neocon sources, it’s bowel cancer from butt chugging vodka.

Gator is wrong, it’s Bowel Cancer caused by Putins ‘extra curricular activities’ he performs (or has performed on him) at the fake ABBA concerts he has held at his dacha.

No, he was the one that kissed a young boys belly button (with full tongue).

I know that Putin didn’t attend Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, but did he say, ‘God save the Queen, man’? (Боже, храни королеву, чувак)

Many FReepers view Ukraine losing as a globohomo defeat.
Globalists have more power than Russia.
Rothschilds, Soros, Fink, etc are worse than Putin.
Putin isn’t funding to help your children mutilate their genitalia.
Putin isn’t allowing fentanyl into our communities.
Putin isn’t fomenting crime in our inner cities.

Putin is, however, funding BLM to stir up domestic unrest in America and we know he colluded with Hillary Clinton to steal the 2016 election, which was later falsely attributed to Trump. I'm not convinced it's Putin vs the globalists. At best, he is controlled opposition. Americans are better off supporting the heroes at home fighting against child sacrifice and genital mutilation than looking for a foreign savior.

I wasn’t saying Putin is a good guy, merely we have bigger problems at home.
We differ on who is and isn’t a globalist, which is fine.
Ambient temperature is a state all Soros ilk deserve.

“ Many FReepers view Ukraine losing as a globohomo defeat.”

I’d call them people who post here, not Freepers.

This article is ludicrous. He didn’t remember another person’s kid’s age?

Biden thinks his dead son won the Senate.

Nonetheless Putin is not an ally to the USA, nor Maga, nor conservatives and is as bad as his buddy WEF buddy Schwab.

Throughout history every despot has been tagged with some sort of mental hindrance, even the most recent ones! ;-)

Saddam Hussein
Mao
Kim Jong il
Hitler
Caesar clan
Il Duce Mussolini
Genghis Khan, and on and on.....ad infinitum.

They are all crazy, don’t you know?
