Growing Reports That Putin Is In A Coma

[ichkeria]

I saw this yesterday reported on a SA news channel ( I think) but saw no other such reports

However, other sources are now reporting something

https://www.smobserved.com/story/2022/06/15/news/rumor-putin-is-in-a-coma-after-surgery/6829.html

and yesterday Alexei Navalny was moved to a more secure prison, having temporarily disappeared without warning.

It's the hope that kills you :-) Tho not I suspect in Putin's case ...

He'll probably pop up in a news conference claiming to be Peter the Great and all we'll be left with is the Smiths' girlfriend ...

It could be true. It is worrying about what the next president may do, he may see the futility of it and end the war.

[douglas9401]

Wouldn't it be terrible if he was suffering from 'locked in syndrome' causing the unresponsiveness? :-)

[ichkeria]

I should add that one source is "Canadian Ukrainian Volunteer" on Twitter, who many suspect does not know his a**e from his humerus bone

He could have been offered a taste of his own medicine. Some ambitious underling may have put a drop or two of poison in his tea.

[Hopkirk]

Wishful thinking on our part probably.

“Answer

He survived an assassination attempt a couple of months back. That seems to have been confirmed by reliable sources

[douglas9401]

He looks like he enjoys a side order of chips with every botox treatment.

[sandyRoe]

Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

Macron, Scholz and Draghi meanwhile are expected in Kyiv tomorrow on the eve of the EU decision on candidate status for Ukraine

[choux]

What I am thinking is not in the least Christian.
Perhaps he had a postcard from Salisbury?

[DTCwordfan]

A Putin spy was arrested at Gatwick at 7 last evening.....another hitman perhaps? Radio 4 the source.

Snopes is often worth checking out when rumours start spreading around the internet:

no - surely not? - I can hardly believe it
( photos have continuously shown a steroid face
but I thought they had just sort of er pulled it)

ca stomach or more likely - - lymphoma - but you never need a laparotomy for that. ( and filling up with steroids first, puts you in a bad prognostic group - - too much detail)

[ichkeria]

I’ll be amazed if putler really is in a coma and of course no one really knows the state of his health.
However the observations on his appearance are only one aspect of it; were it not for the other rumours then no one might notice anything

[Ellipsis]

We live in hope ...

rumours are everywhere in wartime. It's pointless to trust them, even though they might turn out right

Words to Colonel Bogey

Hitler has only got one ball,
Göring has two but they're quite small,
Himmler has something similar
But poor old Goebbels has no balls at all

Curiously, that one might have been true, there's some evidence Hitler was cryptorchidic

[tomus42]

It's widely reported that Putin's guards bag up his *** to take back to Russia whenever he's on a foreign trip.

It's apparently so that no foreign power can learn anything about the state of his health.

Exactly what any decent dog owner does ..
