Not as bad as Biden.

Oh, mommy!
Even if Putin does order a nuclear strike it’s hard to see how a launch order from Putin would actually lead to a missile getting launched. A lot can happen in the chain of command.. including say a “technical fault” in the missile itself which prevents its launch. Putin may be terminally ill and suicidal but I don’t think anyone other than him is willing to partake in mass suicide.
Good article! BUT, I think you got the wrong name.
It’s not Putin — it’s BIDEN!
And it used to be called the Daily Fail here.
“Donald Trump has sparked dementia concerns after he was spotted drinking water with two hands like a small child”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5192867/Trump-seen-drinking-water-two-hands-like-child.html
Soooo, Putin has dementia but Biden doesn’t. Interesting.
I’ll buy that Putin is ill but this is a bridge too far for me.
In my spook days, I attended an analyst’s course at Langley (I was not CIA; I worked for a military intel analytical center). One of the guest speakers was a member of the Langley team that attempted to analyze the health of foreign leaders. He cautioned that such assessments are little more than speculation, unless you have access to the doctors who treated the leader, medical records, or both. And of course, the potential for exaggeration or disinformation is always present.
Putin’s health appears to be declining, but I would avoid consigning him to a death pool. If I had a buck for every time Fidel Castro was supposedly at death’s door (before he finally expired), I’d be typing this from my beach house in Belize.
On the other hand, it would be interesting to know how foreign intelligence services assess Biden’s health. Guessing the Russians, Chinese, Israeli and European agencies see him as being in worse shape than Putin—and you don’t need a medical degree to see that.
Very good, informative read. Thanks
The Daily Mail is repeating the same vile, totally made up disinformation, lies and dirty tricks their predecessors spewed out in WW2.
Believe them at your peril.
With nukes. Wonderful.
It’s not unusual for folks with Parkinson’s to suffer cognitive decline (dementia) as a result of treatments with dopamine drugs. Additionally, any chemotherapy cancer treatments Putin has be getting can produce cognitive impairment. The docs won’t call it dementia. They refer to it as “brain fog.” Whatever, don’t doubt for a moment that Putin could be mentally impaired. I look for him to quietly go away for intensive post-op treatment...or to die. Hopefully, Russia will find a replacement who can find a way to save face while ending this war with Ukraine.
Foreign intelligence services watch our political leaders like a hawk. The dims/media are ignoring that fact.
Hugo Chavez’s health wasn’t declining as visibly as Putin’s but it was known he had a few procedures done in Cuba. Then suddenly one day he was gone (from late stage cancer). What was the spy community’s assessment of his health and prognosis until then ? I will guess not much more than what was known publicly.
“Probably” is the key word which means this is all made up with fancy pictures.
I thought KGB agents were taught to be paranoid.
Daily Mail is reporting this? Color me skeptical.
LOL! Galactic-sized inferiority complex on that helmsman.
