Is Putin dying?

I would be nice to think that he will be gone - one way or another - and we can get back to some common sense. But, as alluded to in Bernard's thread, there are plenty more lunatics in that asylum.
 
I hope that every single night he sleeps, his dreams are filled with nothing other than the faces of those he's killed. I hope he has those dreams for the rest of his life.

This is the thing, we look at things through western eyes, freedom, democracy etc. They don't. Same with countries such as China, North Korea etc. To think any of these countries will ever install a truly moderate leader who believes in the aforementioned values is cloud cuckoo land.

Agree. Ruskies are a particular breed. But there is always hope for leaders. Remember Gorby.

Yes I agree, however I suspect if the 'leader' steps too much out of line, the powers that be around them can instigate changes to protect the regime.
 
I don't believe Puti has an illness, well not a life-shortening one. He is suffering from serious delusions of supremacy. He is convinced he needs to make a name for himself in history and could not care one bit about those that have died in its quest for greatness as long as its not him

Putin was not seen for months during the height of covid and people that entered the same room as him even if it was a hundred foot long had been quarantined for weeks. He fears its own death but see's other people deaths as just things getting in his way.

He will blame anyone and everyone but itself like any good politician and I'm certain he'd use nuclear weapon/s if the regions held by pro-Russian supremacy were in danger of being run over.

One of my sources has advised me that Putin is close to test a nuke which is banned under a joint treaty. This reminds me a bit of Pakistan when their foe aka India was ready to move in and take the other half of Kashmeer and Pakistan exploded several small nukes and India and her 500k troops were ammased on that border and backed down.

Re nuke bans, I think they can be tested underground but not airburst or water and putin make demo a small one in the sea that cause a small tidal wave
 
Putin Will have to double down on
Any internal descent with more repressive measures to maintain power

As the truth of the Ukranian folly starts to become more widely known



probably reading uncle joes manual on the caper ;)

As was said by Churchill
You can lie to all of the people some of the time

but you cannot lie to all of the people all of the time

Belarus will be the country to watch
 
What do you think they might do?

i think that bloke in charge of Belarus is in a precarious situation

and has had to cling on to power by masse arrests and brutal repression

plus back up from putins military

masse protests ect could cause all sorts of issues for him and Putin

?????
 
if he sends his army and secret police to Ukraine, he will have nobody to stifle dissent in his own country

As my old man used to say; people make the mistake of thinking that other people think the same way they do.

Britain used to have an empire, and was delighted to conquer and invade other countries.

Russia and China still are.
 
We're all dying. We're all 24 hours nearer to death than we were this time last night.
