rumors about the Russian leader's failing health.
Yeah yeah, we've had these for years now. Wake me up when Russia's new president signs a peace deal that isn't a full on annexation of Ukrainian territories with nothing in return. If that ever happens.
Putin cancer and Trump legal consequences: this time for sure™️
It will be true eventually
Here's hoping
Hooo! If this is true Russia's in for it. He's been very effective at eliminating any possible successors. Hopefully the nukes stay safe.
Hopefully Trump and Putin’s bodies take care of the problems for the world sooner rather than later
The bigger issue is that Trump and Putin are just the most visible part of the problem.
If they both died tomorrow (oh god please), another would simply take their place. It would require a complete deprogramming of their supporters on the scale of Germany in 1945. The problem is that the entire government needs to fall for that to ever even be attempted. It would literally require a revolution or large scale invasion for that to happen at this point, and even then, as we've seen with Russia and Northern Africa quite a few times, revolutions have a tendency to just pave the way for the next lunatic to take power.
In USA, invasion isn't really possible, so it would have to be an incredibly violent and costly (in human lives) revolution, with a slim chance to actually change anything.
An invasion of Russia is probably possible, but it would require some insane inside help to make sure they don't just nuke everything when they realise they've lost anyway. A revolution probably wouldn't do much, because of the brainwashing problem.
Either or both of them dying couldn't hurt.
~~Soviet~~ Russian succession always takes a power struggle between rivals before things are consolidated.
Vance has the charisma of a turnip.
hey now that's just mean
turnips don't deserve such disrespect ;-;
I can't speak for Putin, but MAGA is a cult of personality. Once HitlerPig assumes room temperature, there will be a vicious battle for leadership, and at least half of the MAGA Morons will drop out without their divine leader to follow. Its very likely they will pivot to making him a religious figure.
The traditional GOP will try to recapture their hegemony over the party, and the Sociopathic Oligarchs will wage a war to keep and expand their influence. They will all try to float a new leader, and we can expect HitlerPig Jr to make a big attempt, but he'll be recieved the same way as Frank Sinatra Jr - with a yawn. Anyone else will be accepted even less.
I hope the battle for control of the party will result in internecine violence, so the Dems can regain power, and use the crimes and violence of the MAGAs to crush them, and purge them from government and society.
Any micro organism inside of them has my support.
By the time you're 70/80 years old your thymus has basically just turned into fat cells and can no longer create new T-cells for your immune system. We just need the right microbe to enter.
Never know what the future will hold
If CK2 taught me one thing, it's that claim wars automatically end when the claimant dies. As soon as putin keels over all the red flagged armies in Ukraine will go neutral and have to walk back home.
Oh cool everybody loves a Russian power vacuum
What about second Kursk invasion?
New world order: Putin dies, successor adopts democracy and joins NATO, Trump leaves NATO and goes full authoritarian, US becomes new dictatorship while Russia becomes new leader of the free world.
Even if Putin's successor adopts real democracy, it will take generations to change the national psyche that thinks they need a strong leader. As much as the west hates Putin, he does have real support among the people. At least as long as he remains strong.
Most importantly, it takes rewriting their school books.. The Russian school books on mathematics and on Russian language rant about Russian supremacy.
🤣
I mean, the US and Germany essentially reversed roles.
Also China and Japan.
Wtf is this simulation, so fucking bizzare and absurd.
No matter how many bad people are waiting to take his place, one less Putin in the world is a net positive.
His replacement will almost certainly be bad but they will have the opportunity to hang the whole Ukraine debacle on Putin and end the war. No certainty of this of course, but it's possible.
I'll believe it when I see it.
He's a hard cockroach to get rid of.
Evil has a way to endure. Just look at Mitch McConnell.
Or Kissinger
That's who I was thinking of when I first had the thought. Thanks for the reminder
One thing is sure. Zelenskyy will outlive him.
And I hope Putin outlives the Russian Federation.
...and dies as soon as possible, anyway. Preferably before April.
I'm sure the next soulless monster is lined up to take control of the cesspool.
🤞
Haven’t we heard this one before?
Yup. He had a cancer and mostly healed from it.
Happens.
I have kept a bottle of bubbles in the fridge for one of two possible celebrations for far too long now.
Propaganda on repeat..
That shit is dying any minute now for the last decade. Even longer, actually.
I always wondered about his health. I've seen state photos of him sitting at the end of a ridiculously long table. People interpreted it as a power move, but it could also be because his immune system is fucked. Not a doc, but I know there's quite a few treatments that end up suppressing the immune system.
Although given the amount of people he's ordered poisoned, I'd want to keep my distance from everyone who might hold a grudge too.
