    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    Doesn't sound good, he's obese with a history of heart problems and alcohol/drug use. Also had a fall a while before the stroke. Not a lot of information on his current condition but apparently he can't talk but can communicate by pencil and paper

    Notable Victims of the Russo-Ukrainian war

    Aleksandr Kalnitsky, ataman (leader) of the Novopokrovsky District Cossack Society has died from shrapnel wounds https://selgazeta.ru/lenta-novostey/obschestvo/17-maya-pri-ispolnenii-sluzhebnogo-dolga-v-hode-voennoy-spetsoperatsii-na-ukraine-pogib-ot-oskolochnyih-raneniy-ataman-novopokrovskogo-rayonnogo-kazachego-obschestva-kalnitskiy-aleksandr-ivanovich.html Age not known but as someone said he spent atleast five years in the Soviet army in the 1970s judging on the ribbons. Kadyrovites/Cadaverites are apparently falling like flies in the battles, one reason for it being how they shout the Takbir before shooting... There were an estimated 5000 of them before the war, I wonder how many there are now. The Tushayev guy who commands them (mentioned here a few times) is apparently still alive despite having been rumored dead a few times and is in Luhansk. And apparently the commander of Kadyrov's so-called "tiktok battalion" (Idrisov) has been killed:

    MMMDP 2022

    MMMDP Form Guide #15 O Kuk-ryol Covid (or "fever", as they call it there for some reason) is spreading like wildfire in North Korea with reportedly around 200,000 cases a day, picking the very frail 92-year-old General, advisor to multiple Kims and former "second most powerful man in the country" could be a good decision.

    ttps://www.memoryandconscience.eu/2022/02/02/german-investigation-into-former-communist-czechoslovak-officials-continues/ New reports on Lubomir Strougal's and Vratislav Vajnar's conditions ordered to be completed by the end of March. https://ct24.ceskatelevize.cz/domaci/3492628-policie-stiha-komunistickeho-exministra-kincla-kvuli-strelbe-pohranicniku Latest on this: The report is made by the Bohnice Psychiatric Hospital, which was due to be submitted by March. "Expert opinions have not yet been prepared. The deadline for the end of the investigation has been postponed to June 5, 2022, "said Aleš Cimbala, a spokesman for the council, two weeks ago. Along with 97-year-old former Prime Minister of Czechoslovakia Lubomir Strougal and 91-year-old former Interior Minister Vratislav Vajnar also Jan Fojtík, 94-year-old former parliament member and "leading party ideologist" will be examined. I guess it'll be postponed again a few times until Strougal dies.

    Hospitalised!

    Indian Tamil filmmaker T. Rajendar hospitalised. https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/tamil/actor-filmmaker-t-rajendar-hospitalised-7932502/ Lots of different information on this around, some articles say that he had a cardiac arrest, possibly will have a heart surgery later after he's flown to the US or Singapore. What is known is that he's been in hospital for a few days (four?) now.

    Non-British Royals

    A bit suprised honestly. He'd met with Canada's ambssador to Cameroon a few weeks ago and looked okay. Abudu could be the next one to go, she seems to have been quite frail for years and is now 96. However I am not completely sure if her or Oneyma's deaths would be reported atleast by any English sources. There isn't so much about them on the web. The remaining ones born in 1925 seem to be doing well.

    Putin vs Xi

    Voted for Jinping because I still don't completely believe the stuff on Putin's health. Even if he goes on tv and announces he has cancer, I'll believe it only when I see him dead...but I hope it'll happen very soon. The Chinese old guard hasn't started dropping yet but I agree there will be a lot of funerals there soon. Lots of centenarians and nonagenarians and Jintao's generation isn't that young anymore either. I find it interesting how Chinese doctors manage to somehow fix them or keep them alive no matter how dying they seem to be. Like Hu Qili who was according to RFI critical and dying in 2018.
