Is Putin - Dying?

[SamSpade]

A conjecture I read this weekend was that he is slowly dying - and his latest maneuvers are a consequence of his life ending without a lasting legacy. Knowing his time is short, he wants to be remembered as the man who took the Soviet Union back.

Now - I did think this before I read the article - the one thing I can think of that can cause a man to utterly change the course of his life is to learn he hasn't much time left. He has shown simply incredible antagonism to his own staff and those who answer to him, and far too many have said publicly - this isn't the man I've known for so long. Condi Rice said as much, and she may be the most well known Russian expert we have at hand.

Do you think that is what is happening?

It is the only logical explanation as to why he is willing to cause total destruction and possibly release earth changing amounts of radiation by blowing up the reactors an launching nukes to US and other nations. He will not have to worry about surviving as he is already a dead man walking.

Doing chemo or radiation treatments would explain his red puffy complexion. He probably got a ‘nothing can be done’ diagnosis.

I've read that theory from more than one source. Also that his current behavior is another sign of mental failure.

It is an interesting theory. I've had a gut feeling for some time now that he could push that big red button....

He isn't just signifying 'scorched earth' for other nations, everything he is doing now is having a detrimental effect on his nation and more noticeably the rich and powerful oligarchs.

Of course he is dying. Once born one is set on their path to death, the path is just longer for some than for others.

Are his current actions a signal of his imminent death, I don't think so. He is just redoing what he did like the last time we had a spineless President, he knows he only has a few more years to get done what he wants, namely the resurrection of the USSR.

It's a scary thought to think of this post as "the good news".

Let's play a game.

Reread this entire tread, but insert Biden every where you see Putin.

Now that's scary

Would he hand pick his successor .?

Who might be a crazy as him.

I think the Marxist media lies to us.

I think Putin is doing what Putin has always done when he had no opposition.

I think the Marxist media will do anything, float any rumor, to distract from our weak pathetic "president".

I don't believe a lot of what I am reading regarding Putin.

Every conflict or war the media paints the belligerents as pure evil and attaches all sorts of negative attributes to them. Noriega believed in witchcraft, or so we were told because he wore red underwear. Saddam Hussein, the same thing. Combat enemies are given derogatory names like kraut, haji or gook.

All these stories about Putin and his health or mental state have only come out in the past week. You would figure these revelations to be huge news and be reported about immediately.

Exactly. It's propaganda and nothing more.

He usually presents as strong and healthy. He is now blotchy, discolored and puffy from fluid retention. I give that more weight than anything I hear or read.

Maybe he needs a Midol.

I haven't seen him in person, just what the Marxist propaganda media says.

I don't believe when they say he has "changed" recently. He has always been terrifying. He reminds me of a mob boss, but with access to nukes.
