He has been taking weird measures since just before our election.

I think what he's experiencing is multiple panic attacks per day!

If he is truly ill, I hope he suffers greatly for many decades!

Ps - He is terrified of Dems!

This is complete disinfo not from NY Post but from Solovey who works with FSB. I didn't even open the article and guarantee its his propaganda that he has been spewing on the direction by FSB for a decade. Guess the West is his new audience today

New York Post

Vladimir Putin plans to step down next year amid health concerns, report claims https://trib.al/VkrOkY6

He is a known agent and is running several propaganda stories including putin has lost the trust of his inner circle and they will abandon him. He has been doing it for a very long time and usually its to monitor internal reaction but occasionally he does it to the West.
