Andrii Yusov, a representative of Defence Intelligence of Ukraine, was responding to the claims emerging last week that Putin had died after a cardiac arrest and that those in his inner circle were planning a body double to replace him...

In what could have a plot line borrowed from the 2017 film The Death of Stalin, which satirizes the indecision among the inner circle of the former Soviet leader when he died in 1953, the post said medical staff had been "blocked in the room with Putin's corpse."

The rumors about Putin's alleged demise proliferated online, leading to a spike among Russians using the search terms "dead Putin, dying Putin, and Putin died," according to the Russian investigative site, Agentstvo ...

Putin is obviously paranoid after the success of the near-coup back in July, now he orders the KGB to set this trap to reveal any would-be opponents

Some suggested when the rumor was fresh that it was a ploy to flush out the disloyal and that now seems to be the case.

We need to remember this if Pedo Joe ever croaks. No celebrations! Only celebrate when school kids shoot each other up or Planned Parenthood reaches another new million body count mark.

Okay, now that even our own government is admitting that it is time to negotiate peace, can we knock off the useless pro globalist propoganda.

I’m just relieved to know that our government would never even consider such a thing. Free speech and all that.

Ukraine Intel

Is this the same intel who pushed Zelensky as Churchill, or was that done by you Canadians?

there’s no peace with Russia, Andy

Russia just uses that time to re-arm and prepare for its next attack

and that’s the problem here, how to guarantee Ukraine’s security against Russia’s inevitable next attack

NATO membership? probably

Israel should be admitted to NATO. So should Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.

Anyone who would publicly celebrate a death based solely on rumors is too dumb to constitute a threat to any powers-that-be.
