It Looks Like Those who speculated about Putin’s health may have been correct

Even before the Ukraine war began, people were speculating that something was physically wrong with Putin. He looked puffy, not as if he’d gained weight, but as if he were reacting to medicines. Speculation escalated with recent videos showing him clutching a table and with a badly shaking hand. Now, The Sun, a British tabloid, is claiming that Putin is going under the knife for a cancer operation, as well as suffering from Parkinson’s.

As early as January 3, Britain’s Telegraph paper was suggesting that Putin is seriously ill. The five pieces of evidence it reported were his puffy face; the excessive distance Putin kept from people, as evidenced by the long table between him and France’s Macron, a possible sign of a weakened immune system; intelligence reports such as one that Marco Rubio alluded to, saying something was off about Putin; a Russian academic’s claims that Putin has both cancer and Parkinson’s; and Putin’s sudden desire to force a conclusion over his claims about Ukraine, a possible sign that he wants the matter resolved before imminent retirement or death.

In March, Mundo Hispanico reported that Putin’s puffy face indicated poor health. The article noted that Putin’s face was noticeably puffy and reported on rumors that the puffiness was from steroids he was taking to treat cancer. Part of his warlike behavior, some speculated, could be ‘roid rage.

All the rumors escalated about ten days ago when Putin was interviewed and spent the entire interview clutching the table with his right hand, while he seemed to prop himself up in his chair. (Postural instability is one of the signs of Parkinson’s.):

Back then, yes.

That doesn’t apply to now, in a time he sends his military to go Viking on a neighboring country.

And spot on about his evil. It’s unconscionable what he’s doing now.

Personally I think the president should have a single 6 year term.

Me too! Congressmen should have short term limits. This would eliminate so many problems. We still have all the old fossils that got us into these messes running the show.

"It Looks Like Those who speculated about Putin’s health may have been correct"

"May" is an expression of permissiveness.

"Might" is an expression of conjecture or probability.

The correct word should have been "might."

Andrea Widburg, you get an "F" in Journalism 101.

This is an just yet another anonymous claim coming from a “source” - of which the NY Post says:
“according to a video from the mysterious Telegram channel “General SVR” on Saturday.”

Putin is allegedly an Orthodox Christian. His opportunities for redemption grow short. He is about to have no opportunity to avoid a very tortuous after life.

It is sad to see such genocide without any hope of contrition or redemption. Perhaps his surgery will show him the light.
