Either that, or Putin is merely kicking back, celebrating with his gf.
(or maybe he even got married?)
Ah, Russians.
Putin ping!
I don’t think there’s any truth to the rumors.
If he died, Russian state TV and radio would be playing funereal music.
Of course, tomorrow we’ll see if Putin meets the President Of Kyrgyzstan in his native city of St. Petersburg.
He’s waiting somewhere to see who celebrates.
The most likely explanation is unfortunately not very dramatic. There is a fairly brutal flue epidemic in Moscow that has reportedly floored around half the population. According to various reports it’s a nasty strain that leaves its victims prostrate for days and can take well over a week to bounce back from. Invoking Occam’s Razor, my money says he has a bad case of the grippe and the Russians just can’t bear admitting that their great leader can be felled by something so mundane.
Perhaps it is not Patrushev, but Primakov that is behind this: http://glavpost.com/post/14mar2015/blogs/19500-pavlo-pravyy-ultimatum-primakova-v-deystvii.html
I would say that Putin has been Russia’s most powerful leader, in terms of real executive leadership not dictatorial powers, since perhaps Peter the Great.
I like tongue-twisters. Say that 10 times fast
Oh dear . . . I wonder if the FRussians will tell us John McCain is behind it.
Wonder if Lukashenko had anything to do with it?
The way Stalin would neutralize anyone was to have them brought to the NKVD headquarters and into a room and face a log wall. They would be shot in the head and their body taken thru another door to a waiting truck. This would go on all day and night.

Keep in mind that obama friend Bill Ayers said that to overthrow the United States they would need to kill 25 million people. Thus you have obamacare and the vaccines that Bill Gates pays for that also kill children in the womb. Eugenics and socialism go hand in hand.
When we had an intelligence apparatus they were all over stuff like this.....
Remember during the 91 coup attempt, Gorby was on vacation and put under house arrest but the official line was that he was ill.
I won’t believe any of it until I hear it from Pravda.
Thoughts GPH?
BREAKING NEWS?
Really?
Should be easier, even with the ice, since photoshopping is so much better these days.
