Russia's foreign minister denies that Putin is unwell after a series of questionable claims he is concealing serious illness

[onthedarkside]

 

• President Vladimir Putin is not unwell despite rumors, Russia's foreign minister said.
• Ukrainian officials and other sources have spread rumors that Putin is concealing a major ailment.
• But western experts say they have seen nothing that credibly suggests this is true.

 

Russia's foreign minister denied that Russian President Vladimir Putin is unwell after repeated unsubstantiated claims that Putin is hiding an illness.

 

Sergei Lavrov told French TV station TF1 on Sunday, according to Russian news agency TASS: "President Vladimir Putin makes public appearances on a daily basis. You can see him on TV screens, read and listen to his speeches.

 

"I don't think that a sane person can suspect any signs of an illness or ailment in this man."

This one was quite amusing, from a tabloid rag in the UK:

 

Vladimir Putin may be dead with body double taking his place, MI6 bosses claim

WORLD EXCLUSIVE: Russian leader Vladimir Putin might already be dead with MI6 sources claiming he could have been replaced by a body double. It follows intense speculation about the warmonger's health

Lets hope he is dead and all this killing stops and his double confesses to be his clown. If this is true a lot of heads must roll, and Russia must rebuild Ukraine to the great country it once was.

I think that there is a precedent for this.

 

Back in the Soviet era there was a suspicion that after Brezhnev - or maybe Andropov - died, the body was embalmed and trotted out as required for Red Square parades and similar occasions.

File under 'One Balled Hitler' .....

If they are counting mental illness, the man is obviously off his rocker. I always thought he was insane. But, at least I assumed he was smart. Now, it is obvious he is insane, but not very smart, at all. Rather dull, it would appear.

He's not concealing anything everyone can see he's mentally deranged.

He is completely off his rocker, also a paranoid schizophrenic, saying that Ukraine's need saving from Nazis and Hitler was a Jew  A total disillusioned megalomaniac who needs to be incarcerated in a mental institution like Dartmoor along with other mad serial killers.

To be accurate, it wasn't Putin who claimed that Hitler was a Jew. In fact, for what it's worth, Putin apologized for that assertion from Lavrov.

Proekt,, a Ukrainian organization dedicated to investigative reporting, did a detailed investigation of the rumors about Putin's health. Here's a link to it:

Good to see Putin suffering and dying. His buddy Xi also has a brain aneurysm and is treating it with traditional Chinese medicine. There is a chance to get rid of both of them soon. That would be good for the world.

US Intelligence has apparently come to its own conclusions about the reality of Putin's illness. And their take on it is that he is terminally ill.
