Charlotte's Controller 180 Posted May 13, 2022 At this stage I consider Putin to be a weak man, his country does not have a strong motivated infrastructure, his troops are out of control and lacking capability and support. Rumours are around that he is ill from some form of blood cancer. This year or next a victim of one of the Cs, cancer or coup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Grandmother has Blood Cancer (Plasma Cancer) if it’s early you can live a another 10-15 years but my grandmother is super active (she’s 80) But considering Putin’s case we all saw that table interview where he kept shaking and struggling to stand up My Grandfather had Parkinson’s and did the exact same thing as Putin did But my grandfather did it regularly. If he has both he’s absolutely fucked and if he doesn’t he’s still fucked with a coup attempt I sense coming Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 3,384 Posted May 13, 2022 I saw somewhere (I forget where) that intelligence suggests that Putin is preparing for a 'long war'. Doesn't sound like someone who is expecting to leave the scene any time soon. But he's probably past the point of caring now - if he dies while Ukraine burns, so be it. Better than withdrawing in failure and then dying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Arestovich: We are undergoing grandiose changes... First and foremost, in Russia they have removed (pause) the leadership of the General Staff... purges, removals and reshuffles. According to preliminary data, Gerasimov was de facto removed, de jure he still holds a position. Now he decides to give him time to correct or not to give. This all needs to be verified. But how could they leave, they can say "try the chance again." The commander of the 1st Panzer Army has been removed... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
