Vladimir Putin Health: Questions over the Russian President's health have been raised in recent weeks, especially after he was seen tightly gripping a desk during his meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu last month.

Maybe this touting of a dramatic May 9 announcement by Putin will be his retirement speech | This user would like to thank marton for this useful post: | |

Vladimir Putin Health: Questions over the Russian President's health have been raised in recent weeks, especially after he was seen tightly gripping a desk during his meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu last month. | | | | | These kinds of rumors keep resurfacing occasionally. Last time was at around the time of the invasion, in late 2020 before that, etc. | Quote: | |  | | | What’s Putin’s Next Move? Look to Syria
Russia has learned some dangerous lessons from the West’s inaction in the past. Here’s how to avoid a grimmer tragedy in Ukraine. | | | | | Annexation of the Donbas?
He could use that as justification to declare a state of war and general conscription.

Quote from the link above:
"Even (Russians) living in comfortable and developed countries, they cultivate hatred to civilization they can not build by their own"
Spot on in my opinion.

Yeah, everything gets weirder and weirder.

In fact if you look at who is in the line up I would say that Putin is a moderate.

He borrowed a vicious anti-semitic theory that it's been around for a while and it is, imo, the most vile and vicious anti-semitic conspiracy theory.

In other news, Russia is requiring the Eastern cities to provide volunteers to fight. But not cities like Moscow, St Petersburg... that might provoke awkward questions.

I read an article in the Times yesterday. Ukraine has more tanks than Russia now. | | | | | Actually there is cause to suggest that Hitler was at least quarter Jewish.
His father Alois Hitler was born out of wedlock to Anna Schickelgruber and that the father was a Jewish guy. This is the Frankenberger theory, it gets dissed by serious historians, but not too loudly. Putin must know this too.
As I said; truths and half truths spun to fit the agenda.

The real issue is that calling for volunteers in St. Petersburg and Moscow will create lots of Russian asylum seekers of an specific gender and age bracket in Western Europe.

With an unknown father, Hitler could not prove he had an unblemished "Aryan" pedigree which destroyed his Master Race claims.

Have you no shame?
