Russian President Vladimir Putin is battling both pancreatic cancer and Parkinson’s disease, according to a new report citing leaked Kremlin emails.

A Russian intelligence source appeared to confirm in messages viewed by The Sun what has long been rumored about the 70-year-old strongman.

“I can confirm he has been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s disease, but it’s already progressing,” the security services insider reportedly claimed.

“This fact will be denied in every possible way and hidden,” the source said, according to The Sun.

Russia won't confirm there's anything wrong with Putin until he's six feet under and his replacement has taken over.

[cilla4progress]

1. Good.

May he suffer interminably for his genocides until he meets the gates of hell.

[Marthe48]

2. Pancreatic cancer at his age

Cancer doesn't discriminate. With the Parkinson's disease, hope they keep him away from the weapons. Hallucinations, delusions.

[FakeNoose]

25. Dear Lord, keep his shaky fingers away from the big red button

[pandr32]

33. Usually a poor prognosis for this type of cancer.

I would bet he accesses himself to the best care possible and the leading-most experts while Russian conscripts are left with no provisions.
He can't die fast enough as far as I'm concerned.

[Jerry2144]

39. If there is Devine Justice

He would be removed from power, then hopefully suffer with the ravages of both conditions for 20-30 years before succumbing. Long, painful life, out of office, and hated

[True Blue American]

65. Pancreatic cancer is almost always a death sentence.

It has been clear for some time he is sick. And the other poster is right. Hallucinations and delusion goes along with Parkinson’s.. I have seen it.

[redstatebluegirl]

67. It killed my friends 50 year old husband in three months.

He had the best of care. He went quick.

[Lovie777]

3. These claims came out when madman first attacked Ukraine ......

[SergeStorms]

43. And from the NY Post.

🙄 Tabloid journalism at it's very "finest".

That doesn't mean it isn't true, I guess, but still....it's the NY Post.

[nycbos]

55. Well you know what they say about dead clocks.

That being said if it's true it would make him more dangerous, because if he's really dying then he has absolutely nothing to lose.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Parkinson's would explain why he tends to grip the edge of his table so much in photos. . . nt

[Sky Jewels]

5. Fingers crossed that the pancreatic cancer diagnosis is true.

It needs to take him out ASAP.

[Glamrock]

6. Good! Fuck him!

I'm sorry. I know that's horrible. And I'm slightly ashamed making the statement. But my mother has Parkinson's and Lewy Body and I know the horrors that visit those afflicted. Considering the terror, rapes, death, torture, and destruction he has rained on the Ukrainian people, I can't help my feelings. Couldn't have happened to a more deserving person.

[LittleGirl]

23. My MIL has the same

It’s horrible to have to suffer like that after a long life.
Putin can burn in hell for all I care. F* him.

[Ocelot II]

7. There have been claims floating around that Putin is seriously ill,

but so far nothing seems to have happened. If he's really that sick he won't be around much longer.

[jpak]

8. Jeepers - is there anyone worse than him in the Kremlin on-deck circle?

9. Probably.

[oldsoftie]

13. The "optimistic" view; he dies & the top Kremlin people blame HIM & stop the fighting.

That would be the SMART move.
Pulling back to lines BEFORE feb would probably be a problem for whoever DID take over though. It would be seen as "weak". Russians & radical Islamists are the same in that respect; any offer of negotiation is seen as weakness.
But doing it would also allow them to try to reintegrate RU into the world again. Much like a released prisoner is SUPPOSED to be rehabilitated.

[OnlinePoker]

14. Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner Mercenary Group

Has no problem committing war crimes (in Ukraine, Syria, and Africa). He's been maneuvering himself into position for a power grab when Putin goes. As a bonus, he's on the FBI most wanted list.

[oldsoftie]

10. Yeah I'm tired of hearing it. I'll buy it when he's given the State funeral

[Effete Snob]

19. Even then it would be good to double check

[SergeStorms]

46. Swan Lake.

When all of the official party news sources start playing, "Swan Lake", on a loop then we'll know for sure.

[Turbineguy]

11. The GOP

soon to be left left leaderless.

[elleng]

12. We've heard this in the past, but

has anyone observed any symptoms?

'long been rumored'

[oldsoftie]

15. I know someone who thinks he's ALREADY dead. What WE see are "doubles"

He also thinks Hillary died in 2017. And that Gitmo DOES have well known Americans there. Among other insane things. Yes, he believes these things. And he walks the streets.

[elleng]

17. Right, and he walks the streets.

[Richard D]

50. And votes . . .

[treestar]

52. and who does he think is alive?

Elvis? JFK Jr.?

[Raster]

16. Whatever is wrong with Putin, I hope it is severely painful.

I hope Putin spends his last days in intolerable pain, that no amount of painkillers can relieve.
I wish Putin the WORST. DEATH. POSSIBLE.

[Botany]

18. Both pancreatic cancer and Parkinson's disease

No cure for either. Good, I would wish for him to suffer but I hope he is dead ASAP.

I wonder will Trump attend his funeral?

[SergeStorms]

48. He'll be seated...

in the family section, along with Putin's mistresses and unclaimed children.

[getagrip_already]

20. Neither is an overnight death sentence... both take time

This has been rumored for awhile, and it will continue to be a rumor for some time.

If true, it will be a gradual decline, not a cliff he suddenly falls from.

And would we ever know if one his doubles is made a figurehead?

[AZSkiffyGeek]

21. Didn't they hide the death of one of the post Brezhnev premiers for a little while?

I seem to remember jokes in the early 80s about that.

[PortTack]

22. One of our intelligence agencies said 2-3 months ago there was no indication that Putin was ill

[SunSeeker]

26. I tend to agree. My mom died of pancreatic cancer 3 months after diagnosis.

She was pretty skeletal by the time she died. Putin does not look like he has lost any weight.

[PortTack]

34. Retired medical professional here. You are so right.pancreatic cancer will take a person down in

A matter of weeks..maybe a few months at best

[LeftInTX]

24. Considering that this is the NY Post, I take it with a grain of salt.

The source is a "leaked email" and they got it from The Sun (A tabloid)

I think he has a tremor (Parkinson's is likely). However, people can often function fairly well with Parkinson's. Pope John Paul II had it and that is why his papers always shook. It depends on the severity.

[SergeStorms]

49. Exactly.

nt.

[Grimelle]

27. If true he is a meaner bastard than previously thought

What he is doing in Ukraine is unforgivable!

[sybylla]

28. I'm getting flashbacks to the USSR...

...when they would "leak" that dear leader was not doing well and soon dear leader would be 6' under.

I know there have been reports and I have seen people with experience in cancer treatment recognize some of the same things in Putin, but that was months ago. The fact that we have a leak now seems curious timing at the very least.

[awesomerwb1]

29. The source is The Sun??

[nowforever]

30. Cliff diving is the answer

I understand he has a beautiful villa over looking the Black Sea.

[Joinfortmill]

31. Hope he gets taken out asap.

[BlueKentuckyGirl]

32. Please let it be so.

He can't die a minute too soon. And I hope he suffers greatly.

[LudwigPastorius]

35. That's from the same The Sun that ran a story with the headline:

‘WEREWOLF SEIZED IN SOUTHEND’ ?

I believe I'll take their stories with a pile of salt.

[Maeve]

36. Fighting the Western world and his own body--he can't win

[Ford_Prefect]

37. Didn't we have this rumor previously and in the same less than reliable outlet?

I don't know who put this about but its still fish wrap IMO. Or did I
imagine we had a few standards regarding sources?

The SUN? really???

I know some among us enjoy second-guessing Murdoch's motives and moves but...

[groundloop]

47. Yeah, Putin has already died three times since the first rumors came out.

[Ford_Prefect]

64. I call Bullshit!!!! Whether the POST or the SUN it is Murdoch lying to one and all. This story

wasn't carried by any other media outlet at all when we first heard it nor is it now. IMO it is a fabrication and should not have been posted as news on DU.

Sorry, this website is blocked. Why?

Extension by @matcarpenter

This website has been blocked as it is owned by Rupert Murdoch. Publications owned by Murdoch manipulate their readers, push political agendas and spread disinformation. By blocking these websites we attempt to starve Murdoch publications from pageviews and from receiving advertising revenue

.

[Chainfire]

38. I will believe that Putin is dying from cancer when I see Trump indicted for a felony.

[flying_wahini]

40. The NY post is not a reliable source or I would be dancing!

But still hopeful.

[Kali]

44. Post quoting the Sun

[SergeStorms]

51. Equally unreliable source....

if not moreso.

[calimary]

41. "Is it wrong that I'm smiling?"

I know. I know. Negative thoughts. Bad girl. Mustn’t think ill of others and all that.

But it’s the first thought I had, when I saw that headline. Went right straight there.

[cayugafalls]

42. Diseased inside and out. Who would've thought?

[snowybirdie]

45. This story has been going around

for months. He looks the same as before. I'll believe it when someone other than The Post reports.

[nycbos]

53. If this is true...

... and that is a BIG if. There's been rumors circulating about his health for years, this would make him even more dangerous. Because if Putin is really dying when he's a man with nothing to lose.

[Fiendish Thingy]

54. The Sun and Post aren't the most reliable sources

If WaPo runs with it, I’ll believe it.

[Gordolfon]

56. Huge if true

Hopefully true. Karma will pay him a visit sooner or later

[dchill]

57. True or not, if I or anyone I know were dying of cancer or Parkinson's...

...or anything else, that wouldn't make us want to own, control or destroy the world.

[Vinca]

58. The sooner this guy dies the better.

[calimary]

62. I guess we need to wait for the telltale smell of sulfur...

[Cha]

59. I've heard this awhile ago and

then nothing and now this..

Pancreatic cancer is one of the worst Cancers one can have from what I've read.

If all true.. he's not in good shape for someone only 70 years ole.

[Indykatie]

60. I Have Not Seen Any Credible Source for These Latest Claims About Putin's Health

If true, I see it as bad news. If he thinks he's dying he probably feels he has nothing to lose and will take Russia down with him. Much like Trump is trying to do with the USA.

[Grokenstein]

61. Get dead soon, monster.

[iluvtennis]

63. The world can definitely do without a fascist dictator. n/t

[Sanity Claws]

66. Couldn't happen to a better guy

[Lasher]

68. Locking
