Just checked on Google that Putin has cancer and Parkinson's

I read this awhile back.

He does not look healthy.

It would explain his behavior to Ukraine.

My mother had Parkinson's and she changed longed before we really noticed.

Her personality.

If this is true maybe he doesn't give a damn.

Go out with a bang.

Almost didn't post this but now that he is attacking Ukraine it might make sense.

My mother turned mean, she was never like before.

It was also mentioned his hand was shaking.

Scary to thing about.

She had hallucinations and accused my Father and I of keeping her prisoner.

Finally we had to put her into a Alzheimer's nursing home for safety.

We couldn't keep home health care workers.
She would attack them.

There were several articles.

I found this by accident one night looking at European websites.

Scary if it is true.

He does not look well.

when he was worried about Covid. There were many articles written about it. I wrote earlier today that I wondered if his sitting so far away from everyone lately was perhaps he is trying to hide his disease.

But if true, Parkinson's isn't so nice. Dementia comes with the progression, which is NOT curable. Cancers can go into remission. Parkinson's marches on.

I googled and found some articles, but nothing that was in a source I consider fully reliable. The Daily Beast (which I do regard as reliable) had some interesting things to say that make me very dubious about this.

explain the puffiness of his face. I remember how my aunt's face looked when she had terminal cancer. Between steroids and pain killers, she did not look like herself.

But Parkinson symptoms would be very hard to hide as it advances, even on meds.

So, if the articles are true, can we assume that there are others in Russia who are taking over some duties? Between cancer pain and Parkinson's symptoms, plus meds, it would be difficult to go through the complex thinking processes involved in the kinds of manipulations that Putin engages in.

So yes an illness causing dementia and treatment with steroids could make him much worse in terms of violence and acting out.

Someone who had a terminal illness just didn't give a shit to what he was doing to our Association. Neither did his wife. Though, there as a bigger cancer in the community. He couldn't have gotten away with what he got away with without their help.
