Kremlin Says Putin Is Healthy, Laughs off Body Double Rumours
US News ^ | 10/24/2023 | Reuters

Posted on 10/24/2023 4:55:47 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

The Kremlin on Tuesday denied a report that President Vladimir Putin was ill, and laughed off persistent rumours that he used body doubles to cover for him in public appearances.

"Everything is fine with him, this is absolutely another fake," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about an unsourced report by a Russian Telegram channel, picked up by some Western media, that the president had suffered a serious health episode on Sunday evening.

The spokesman laughed in response to a further question about body doubles, and denied that Putin had any.

He really sick this time

VLADIMIR Putin's warlord Ramzan Kadyrov today admitted he "might not live long" as he appeared bloated in a bizarre video. The Chechen brute - one of Putin's closest allies - posted the footage to "prove he is still alive". The 46-year-old bearded strongman was hit by a swirl of rumours over the weekend that he was close to death from kidney or liver problems. His discoloured right hand in the video suggests he has undergone recent medical treatment, according to reports. In the footage, Kadyrov is seen with Russian MP Adam Delimkhanov - who was reported to have been killed...

THIS is the moment Vladimir Putin's warlord Ramzan Kadyrov shook uncontrollably as he met with the tyrant. The Chechen brute, 46, feared he had been poisoned just weeks ago after it is reported he became seriously ill with kidney problems. Footage shows Kadyrov shaking as he talks to a puffy-looking Putin - who, rumoured to be battling his own health issues, gripped the table as they spoke. Bloated Kadyrov can be seen unable to control his quivering as he chats to the Russian dictator while reading from pre-prepared handwritten notes with huge writing. A translation by BBC journalist Francis Scarr...
 

How sick is Putin's bloodhound? (Kadyrov)

Bild.de (Translated) ^ | 3/3/2023 | KAREN VON GUTTENBERG
For weeks there has been speculation about his state of health. Ramzan Kadyrov (46), Putin's willing bloodhound, does not seem to be doing well. His mental state is well known (he loves to murder and torture), but his physical state is probably no longer up to speed. In recent months, he has gained considerable weight, looks very bloated, in his videos he often does not get his eyes open. What's going on with the Chechen dictator, who is otherwise so supposedly bursting with strength? In recent months, he has gained considerable weight, looks very bloated, in his videos he often...

Rumours have persisted that Putin is "critically ill" after he became bloated and was trembling and shaking alarmingly. Bombshell spy emails leaked to The Sun confirm he has early-stage Parkinson's disease and pancreatic cancer. Sources also claimed he had emergency surgery last year and was shadowed by a team of top doctors. Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine's chief of defence intelligence, said last night he is certain Putin does have terminal cancer. He told ABC News: "He has been sick for a long time. "I am sure he has cancer. I think he will die very quickly. I hope very soon." He...

Russian President Vladimir Putin will not hold his annual year-end press conference for the first time in a decade, prompting speculation that the Russian leader is sick or running scared from answering questions about Ukraine as the war enters its 10th month. “As for the big press conference, yes, it won’t happen before the New Year,” Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters Monday. “But we hope that the president will still find an opportunity to talk with [journalists], as he regularly does, including during foreign [visits],” Peskov added. While Peskov gave no reason behind the move, the war in Ukraine...
 

Sickly Putin CANCELS major press conference for first ever as he ‘battles cancer & faces coup over Ukraine war disaster’

Sun UK ^ | 12/12/2022 | Henry Holloway
VLADIMIR Putin has cancelled his annual press conference for the first time in 10 years and axed his New Year's Eve party at the Kremlin. It comes amid ongoing rumours about his poor health and his struggles with Russia's disastrous war in Ukraine. Putin has been speculated to be suffering ailments from cancer to Parkinson's - and has repeatedly appeared unwell on camera. And meanwhile, there is growing dissatisfaction with his failing war as Russia fast approaches 100,000 casualties in Ukraine. Since 2012, the final press conference of the President of Russia has always been held in December. The seemingly...

SICKLY Vladimir Putin hobbled along the red carpet with his arm hanging limp by his side as he arrived in Iran today. Footage of the Russian leader's arrival showed him shuffling down the steps of his jet as he landed in Tehran to meet with fellow global terror master Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. With his right arm limp by his side, Putin, 69, was seen looking unsteady on his feet as he walked down a long red carpet rolled out for him at the capital's Mehrabad airport. The Russian dictator is right-handed - but there's speculation he's ambidextrous as he wears...

NY Post ^ | 4/22/2022 | Lee Brown
New video shows Vladimir Putin looking bloated and awkwardly gripping a table for support — heightening suspicions that the warmongering president is seriously ill. The footage released by the Kremlin Thursday shows Putin, 69, tightly gripping the table with his right hand as soon as he sits down — then keeping it there throughout the nearly 12-minute clip. Putin sits with hunched shoulders and regularly fidgets and taps his toes during the briefing with his defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, who is also rumored to be suffering health woes. The clip shows Putin and his key adviser “both depressed & seemingly...

This is intelligence and most of it comes from our Government Communications Headquarters, or GCHQ. Based in a huge doughnut-shaped complex outside Cheltenham, GCHQ, among other things, is the great watcher and listener of our espionage array. High in Inner Space, out of reach of telescopes and missiles, cameras and recorders roll through the ether at exactly the same speed as earth, thus remaining stationary over any spot they are wanted. Gazing down, they record everything beneath them and it is beamed straight back to GCHQ. Thus we know what the Russian elite is doing and saying. And it is...
 

Putin’s troops GIVE UP Chernobyl nuke site after five weeks in bungled invasion as dozens treated for radiation sickness

CHERNOBYL is back under the control of Ukrainian troops after Russian forces formally gave up the nuclear plant. The site of the 1986 nuclear tragedy in northern Ukraine was captured in the opening days of the war, sparking fears of a major radioactive disaster as a result of heavy fighting around the plant. Ukraine's state nuclear company Energoatom said on Thursday that all of the "outsiders" who had been occupying the plant have left. It released a letter signed by the Russian National Guard in which custody of Chernobyl was handed back to Ukraine. Earlier, it said that some Russian...
 

Putin's soldiers are eating DOGS after becoming 'sick' of their long-life ration packs, Russian soldier reveals in intercepted phone call to his family

Russian soldiers fighting in Ukraine are heard admitting they've eaten dog meat and raped young girls in horrifying intercepted audio. In tapped phone calls released by Kyiv secret service the SBU yesterday, Russian soldiers reveal their sick sexual 'conquests' and complain about the quality of years-old ration packs. An unidentified man presumed to be a family member asks in Russian: 'Are you eating okay at least?' A soldier replies: 'We had Alabay (dog) yesterday.' 'Who?', the family member asks. 'Alabay', he replies matter-of-factly. The stunned man says: 'Are you eating dogs or what?' Again the soldier replies stoically: 'We have....

he Russian leader said the depraved terrorists had expanded its control in territory controlled by US and US-backed forces. ISIS issued Russia with an ultimatum promising to execute ten people every day. Speaking in the Black Sea resort city of Sochi, Putin said the hostages included several US and European nationals. Putin told the Valdai discussion forum in Sochi: "They have issued ultimatums, specific demands and warned that if these ultimatums are not met they will execute 10 people every day. "The day before yesterday they executed 10 people." Putin did not specify what the militants' demands were. He said...

After a year and a half of a failed, worthless, half-hearted air campaign and sporadic, dithering, pinprick Special Forces operations, it’s more than obvious that the Obama administration is in the Land of the Lost in the fight against ISIS. Finally, the truth has finally seeped out that the US led air campaign against ISIS is doing nothing to the marauding, para-military organization. The Pentagon smoke machine is broken and with the arrival of the Russians in Syria, reality has shattered the wilderness of mirrors. Our so-called ally, the Iraq government is saying they are considering green-lighting Russian airstrikes against...

My thought is ......so what?

Even if Putin is in fact seriously ill, the war in Ukraine that he apparently started is still in progress. Absent Putin, the Russian leadership continues to prosecute the war as the economy withers and the Ruble is now worth only one US cent.

A double that doesn't look anything like him and is with him all the time as his personal bodyguard?

Here are real photos of the bodyguard and they explain why your fake source blurs its photos, in the first photo he is at Zelensky's arm on the left and in the second photo he is just behind him on his right.

I don’t understand the motivation behind manufacturing these stories.

The most cursory reading about his designated successor, Dmitry Medvedev, would reveal the very last thing America would want is Putin being replaced.

It is not an if. That is the line of succession. Medvedev takes over as deputy. There is no magical alternative that appears. Putin’s party is United Russia. Medvedev is the head of the party.

The Russian Duma, established in 1993, has 450 seats. United Russia has 324 of these.

There is no world in which anyone but Medvedev or any other senior United Russia party guy (all of whom are much harder line than Putin) takes power if Putin is incapacitated.

Russia conducts itself for the benefit of Russia, not in accordance with US preferences. They are nationalists. Why would anyone be surprised at this?
