Putin Dying of Cancer?

I never heard he was scared of Covid. Can you source that.

Yes and you could have yourself. So much information available.

"Speaking to reporters following the meeting, Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said "yes, indeed," when asked whether Macron had declined a test ahead of the meeting with Putin."

"The failure to take the test, Peskov said, meant that the men needed to sit 20 feet away to protect Putin's health, CNN reported."

Why Did French President Sit So (Very, Very) Far Away from Putin? Fear of Hijacked DNA, Sources Suggest

A spokesperson for the Kremlin told reporters that negotiations are held "at a distance of approximately six meters" when others leaders "follow their own rules"

If he gets sick he is afraid of who will be in charge or jump in without leaving. It's him and only him.
Scares him.

"These measures are in themselves not surprising. Protecting the political leadership is important in any state; governance continuity is key. But the information campaign is interesting. The aim is not only to reassure the public: it is to pre-empt any speculation within the elite that Putin might become ill and unable to rule, with the possible early jockeying for power that this might lead to. And this accords with existing political science research, which shows that palace coups are responsible for the overthrow of non-democratic leaders in more cases than popular uprisings from the streets."

Opinion: The Kremlin is terrified that Putin will catch Covid-19

He looks different and seems to be saying some really off the wall things. Maybe it's the stress of launching his incredibly stupid attack.

He really does. He looks sleep deprived, for one.

Also a danger for Putin: assassination from within. I imagine his paranoia is at defcon 5

woah.

If you want to speculate about somebody dying....how about the Turnip in Chief who stole the election ?


How about Bill Clinton?

So it is "bad" to speculate about a foreign authoritarian dictator dying but ok to speculate about an American President dying?

That is so warped.

Ok to speculate about both I guess.
