Should be easier, even with the ice, since photoshopping is so much better these days.

Vladimir Putin is 'alive' but 'neutralised' as shadowy security chiefs stage a stealthy coup in Moscow, it was claimed last night.
Former FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev was behind the plot, claimed chairman of the pro-Kremlin national Islamic Committee, Geydar Dzhemal.
Snip...
'I think that Putin is neutralised at the moment, but of course, he is alive,' said Dzhemal, seen as a Kremlin loyalist. 'He is under the control of the power-wielding agencies, who have, in my opinion, organised a coup d'etat.'

'My information is that Patrushev met Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov in Pyatigorsk on 11 March and tempted him over to his side.'
With feverish speculation in Moscow over Putin's health and whereabouts, and claims of a bitter power struggle in his entourage which could even trigger an attempted coup, the head of Chechnya spoke emotionally of people 'trying to harm the president of Russia - and Russia itself'. And he claimed that forces were scheming 'to break us apart', referring to him and his guarantor Putin.
snip...
The voices of prime minister Dmitry Medvedev, Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu, Chief of the Kremlin staff Sergei Ivanov - and Putin's intelligence tsars - have remained silent. Kadyrov has enjoyed extraordinary power and largesse under Putin as a reward for keeping an iron grip on the rebellious oil-rich Chechen region, scene of two bloody wars since the collapse of the USSR. As a result he is hated by many senior Putin loyalists. But Kadyrov's enemies claimed yesterday that the 38 year old bearded regional potentate is in 'panic' because he can no longer contact his mentor. 'He is phoning anyone he can in an attempt to arrange a talk with Putin - but he fails,' alleged a website linked to Islamic hardliners seeking to overthrow Kadyrov.

And those who are praying for Putin’s demise think some kinder gentler ruler is going to take his place.
I was hoping the new power structure would dump Iran.
Very perceptive observation! Well done!!

This is a common misconception, the idea that "Muzzie sympathizers" weren't already in control. Or, maybe not sympathizers, but people who use Islam as a weapon against the West. Defectors like the late Alexader Litvinenko, to Pacepta, Golitsyn, and still many others, have all noted that Russia is knee-deep in world-wide Islamic terrorism. Litvinenko, who was the one killed with Polonium 210, even declared that he knew, first hand, that Al-Qaeda's number two (now number one) was trained in Dagestan by the FSB for half a year. When it comes to the political and technological support Russia provides for Iran, there is not much else to think about.
I don't know if you're aware, but Russian state controlled media periodically accuses the United States of being behind the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Why? It's projection. In fact, 99 percent of everything they accuse us of is projection of their own doings.
Sounds like a National Enquirer article.
What's important is who is saying it. But since you are a pathological Putinist, you'd dismiss the official death article and proclaim he'd rise again in 3 days anyhow.
Not so. You might wish it to be true, so that you can make your argument, but knowing Russia . . . another scumbag will take his place. You might have to scramble for a bit to find ways to defend the new guy, but I have faith in you . . . and you will have the Russian media on your side.
Ahh yes......... that makes sense
Switzerland is where the money, the women, the kid all are ........ coups are hell
“When we had an intelligence apparatus they were all over stuff like this.....”
We have one. It’s focused on us peasant’s various forms of communications and not at all concerned with Putin.
If he were sick, wouldn’t they just say he’s feeling under the weather and had to cancel his meetings the week?
This was expected, when it became clear Putin lost his war against Ukraine because of unrealistic goals due to Russian military weakness.
When it comes to the political and technological support Russia provides for Iran
We’re in a very unique window of opportunity to correct a bunch of bad actors, given a little luck and help from God.
you have no clue what the CIA knows
Keeping quiet is a virtue in the intelligence business
Israel’s former Ambssador to Ulraine & later Russia says there are signs of coup. I don’t trust anyone’s word yet, need to see a body or a new leader
Seriously? I'm the first in 80 posts to pick up on that? Y'all are slipping!
