Putin 'critically ill' with 'Parkinson's and cancer' leaving him bloated and unstable

The Russian President has been reportedly suffering from Parkinson's in a "rapidly deteriorating" health situation. According to political analyst Valery Solovey, Putin is suffering from a number of critical illnesses, including cancer and a schizoaffective disorder.

"Putin is regularly stuffed with all kinds of heavy steroids and innovative painkilling injections to stop the spread of pancreatic cancer he was recently diagnosed with.

"It not only causes a lot of pain, Putin has a state of puffiness of the face and other side effects - including memory lapses. In his close circle, there are rumours that in addition to pancreatic cancer, which is gradually spreading, Putin also has prostate cancer."

The Kremlin has repeatedly denied rumours on Putin's health.

5. All I know is right after Vlad stops breathing he'll become the new "Hitler" in the eyes of the worl

And I'm looking forward to that.

6. Russian tradition is to disclose a leader was ill when they announce his death

Nothing new with Putin and doubt anyone has an accurate or direct line to inside information. If he does have pancreatic cancer that is a death sentence 90% of the time and especially so in the elderly. I wonder who his successor will be. Medvedev I suppose is the easy answer but hard to know if he or anyone has the combined backing of senior Kremlin leadership, the military and the oligarchs it would take to be a workable leader.

7. Haven't seen any of the big networks, or major newspapers running the story.

It would have to go mainstream to be believable.

8. Hubby has received

these stories on the nets for months from his rw friends. He should be dead by now if true.

9. If

He does have pancreatic cancer that’s spreading he isn’t gonna be around that long in all likelihood. Gee what a shame. The good news is the sooner he goes, there’s more of a chance that the needless destruction of Ukraine can come to a halt hopefully. Unless of course he’s replaced with another megalomaniac psychopath.

10. The only disease Putin has is chronic narcissistic dictatoritis.

11. UK media has been using anti-russian sentiment to protect the UK government against valid criticism

The british government is a pure shit-show. Wage-cuts for nurses, sabotaging union-negotiations with railway-workers, a botched corruption-investigation that cost billions, a minister that bungled national-security information out of pure incompetence and was reinstated for no reason at all... and Brexit... and so much more.

The Ukraine-war is a welcome excuse to change topics:
- "Isn't the UK's asylum-policy inhumane?"
- "Thank you for the question. Let's talk about Russia."

as evidenced by your foolish invasion of Ukraine.

15. The report is BS.

Just a few days ago he was driving and walking across the bridge in Crimea that has been hit by a bomb.

The CIA says his health is good.

Putin is ‘entirely too healthy,’ the C.I.A. director says.

There is no evidence that the Russian president is unwell, Western intelligence officials said, after the Kremlin denied rumors about his health.
