More Russian Weirdness: Kremlin Behind Most Recent Putin Death Rumors

[CaptButler]

Since the War of the Conquest of Ukraine got underway early last year, there have been numerous and continual rumors concerning the poor health and impending death of everyone's most unfavorite suitcase-shitter and war criminal, Vladdy Putin.  Indeed, his death appears to be the most eagerly anticipated death of a European politician since Hitler.  While it has appeared at various points that Putin did have something the matter with his health, it has been far from clear what and how serious that something is. 

Now there are numerous rumors on Russian internet that Putin actually died late last month, and that Mecha Putin is now pressed into service for an as yet undetermined transition period.  Ukraine has denied responsibility for the rumors (this time, anyway), and their intelligence sources say that they are coming from inside the house.  That is, weird as it seems, from the Kremlin itself. 

Ukraine sources indicate the purpose of the most recent rumors is to test Putin's popularity and to ferret out "traitors to the Fatherland".  If true, it would appear that the fog of paranoia is now thicker than the usual fog of war.  It's a risky strategy in any case given how attached Russians are to conspiracy theories in an environment that doesn't allow a free press.  Ukraine's slow but steadily increasing pressure on Crimea may account for this.  Certainly, warmongering Kremlin propagandists don't have much in way of "glorious victories" to tout nowadays.

Putin's not dead, he just went home.

Yup, it's a transition lul period in Russias expansion, so internal house cleaning shenanigans can be expected. Nobody knows very quickly the day to day happenings in a closed society. It's just now getting out that one of Chinas newest nuke subs got stuck on the sea floor and everybody suffocated. It's all hush hush and totally denied. But it's leaking out that it ran into their own steel submarine net and couldn't surface. Thru methods undisclosed, china went down, freed the sub, and brought it back up after a 6 hour repair process. So they got their sub back and are posting job openings for a new crew. So now we have more info about how long China can stay submerged. Free world subs have equipment that converts CO2 to oxygen, so we can stay down for a very long time. Seems China can't. Even though they are also nuke subs. So expect the Chinese get aways at the border to be making a be line for American submarine air equipment. Clearly tech that is very important to world conquest.

And I'm sure Russia is jam packed full of secrets that would make a mockery of the label Super Power. And it's possible that Putin has already been cloned many many times.



And here's trivia, Baal was a queer who died of "something" a long time ago. That's more of the Hollywood way for ya.

. . . and just like the proverbial Yellow Cat, the Putin death rumors just won't stay away.  Now the speculation has gotten a boost from a Kremlin security official and former FSB chief giving a speech in which he referred to Putin entirely in the past tense.  No word on a body showing up yet, though.  That likely won't happen until Putin either recovers sufficiently for a public appearance, or the succession is finally agreed to in the event he is actually dead.

In the meantime, Mecha Putin has taken to scaring the bejeezus out of ***** in a cancer ward:

Putin hasn't done anything wrong.  Putin is just standing up for his country of Russia.  The real problem is in other countries like the USA and the West in general and also places like Ukraine where the whole government has been corrupt for a number of years.  Things were fine until the most recent Ukraine leader took over the guy is not legit at all.

Don't believe all the nonsense about Putin, he's just doing what any Russian leader would do and that's stand up for a great country.  Nobody has any reason to be scared over there, the place you want to be scared about is what's going on in the USA because that is the true scary government and until that looney grandpa leader is gone from office then live in fear across the whole of the planet.

Nobody has any reason to be scared over there . . .

 . . . except for getting killed or maimed in a war hardly any of them wanted, or getting packed off to a Siberian hellhole for 10+ years for even questioning that war, that is.

a war hardly any of them wanted

Don't be naive, they pushed for it for quite some time. Don't believe all the rubbish that you are told. They've pushed and pushed against Russia for quite some time and they got a reaction because they asked for one.

So, you're saying that Russians are such a bunch of bloodthirsty warmongers that they provoked their own government into invading Ukraine?? 

Interesting theory.

Don't be snide, CaptButler.

Putin is the most greatest and bestest leader of the world.

Now learn some Russian.

EDIT: In all seriousness, I heard somewhere in a Youtube short that Putin didn't want to war on Ukraine, he just wanted to negotiate. The guy said that they are of blood and the Russian forces vastly outmatch that of Ukraine's and NATO. If I have that clip, I'd share it, but I don't.

But this was way before his "death."
