Russian President Vladimir Putin fell down the stairs and soiled himself at his official residence, a report claims.

According to the anti-Kremlin Telegram channel "General SVR," Putin's mishap took place on Wednesday evening.

The report sources the claims to Informants within Putin's security team. "General SVR" also claims to be operated by a former Russian spy.

Putin's alleged fall comes as concerns over his overall health have increased. The Russian leader is battling cancer and Parkinson's disease, according to leaked emails obtained by The Sun.

2. He should stay away from windows.

[COL Mustard]

3. Aw...He fall down go boom....

Too bad it wasn't out a 5th floor window.

20. Heehee. I see what you did there.

[Joinfortmill]

40. Lol

[Martin68]

5. I rather doubt that, if such an event actually occurred, it would ever get out and be reported.

sounds like Fake News to me. Consider the fact that it would be a death sentence to do so.

[FrankBooth]

16. KOMO is the ABC affiliate

And is owned by Sinclair. Interesting they would run with this gossipy "story".

[HubertHeaver]

25. Maybe Putin has become a Democrat?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. That "channel" also said months ago Putin motorcade evade explosions. Never heard any more. nt

[brush]

8. His close associate Dugin's daughter was killed in a car bombing...

in Moscow. It was reported that she and her father switched cars. That's getting pretty close to Putin.

[CTyankee]

56. Wow! Right out of The Godfather II

Vito's young wife gets blown up

[brush]

7. Once these kind of rediculing reports are released...

whether true of not, with Putin's poor health and the war going badly, can his ouster be far behind?

[chriscan64]

15. That is what I was thinking.

I remember Soviet premiers who would "have a cold" then die 30 days into their term in office. Different landscape now, but the story has that same feel.

[yardwork]

29. Seems that way.

[Joinfortmill]

41. Let us hope.

[Blue Owl]

9. That's the only kind of 12-step program that works with the likes of Vladdy

[orangecrush]

32. ...

[Joinfortmill]

42. Lol

[Ford_Prefect]

11. Still a BS rumor at this point. The few MSM reports are framing it as a question rather than fact.

The same source has previously claimed convincing evidence exists of Putin's immanent demise due to Cancer and other maladies.

[Jerry2144]

22. Lots of things don't make sense

Assume it is true that he fell down the stairs. Why would the Russian government let the world know that? It could make Ukraine think Russia is vulnerable and could urge them to attack. It makes Russian look weak. And why add the detail that he Trumped his pants and remind the world of his colon cancer? That’s humiliating and makes Poo Tin look even weaker.

Or

This is a fake story to try and discredit Poo Tin


Which is more believable? While it is possible that there was an attempt on Poo Tin’s life, I doubt news of the attempt would look like this.

If I had to vote on this, I would vote that it’s a false story

[area51]

26. +1 n/t

[Eugene]

12. They are quoting General SVR, a propaganda channel, without independent confirmation.

General SVR has a history of discredited stories.

[rubbersole]

13. Ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump, ba-bump

squirt. According to reports.

[tavernier]

37. Made me laugh

[Eyeball_Kid]

14. So the prick soiled his pants.

Did he urinate, defecate, or both? Anti-fascists, geriatric researchers, environmentalists, and Kremlin rivals need to know.

[summer_in_TX]

17. "Bucket List" has a classic line Jack Nicholson

in his character Edward Cole said. "Never trust a fart."

My dad, who is 96 and now in hospice care but still has his wits about him, recently watched that movie with my sister and latched onto that line. He has been entertaining caregivers and visitors with it ever since.

The rumor about Putin reminded me.

[DarthDem]

18. That's hilarious!

My best to your dad. Sounds like a great guy.

[summer_in_TX]

27. He is quite the guy.

He was brilliant as a younger man. Dementia, macular degeneration, and a heart that's wearing him out has slowed him down, but his personality and wit are still there.

[summer_in_TX]

28. He is quite the guy.

He was brilliant as a younger man. Dementia, macular degeneration, and a heart that's wearing him out has slowed him down, but his personality and wit are still there. He pushes himself to use his faculties as much as possible and has maintained far longer than I think any of us kids expected.

[Xolodno]

19. In before the lock!

[Coventina]

21. IBTL!!!

Ah, memories....

[Enoki33]

23. Possible this General SVR is trying to make

Putin feel like what it's like to be on the receiving end of dirty propaganda. A form of poetic justice l guess.

[tavernier]

24. I don't think falling down the stairs and shitting his pants

will make him empathize with a family who have been shot, tortured, raped, burned or worse.
Let’s try ripping off the nails and barbecuing the penis?
Ok, just a thought. I’d rather not be the judge who decides the penalty.

[ZonkerHarris]

30. Poo-tin

[Joinfortmill]

43. Lol

[live love laugh]

45. I call my 3 month old nephew "pootin" ... cuz he does.

[Wibly]

31. Not a good story for DU to run

No reliable news source is carrying this story. It is a tabloid story that remains unverified and unproven.
I do not think the poster of this sort of article is doing DU and the Democratic Party any favors by posting this story.
In fact, I think it calls into question the integrity of DU, and makes it look bad.
I am no Putin fan, and believe it would be better for the world if he is gone, but I'm also very concerned about how the reputation of Democratic Party beacons like DU will be impacted when they run unproven allegations like this.

[orangecrush]

34. Welcome to DU

And thanks for your concern.

[rubbersole]

36. You are very polite, oc.

[orangecrush]

50. ....

[live love laugh]

46. 😂😂😂

[Pachamama]

38. I believe this

And I hope that Putin knows everyone knows it

[Ford_Prefect]

39. The same story originating from the same source was twice locked yesterday.

Why is it when KOMO falls for it and repeats it does that make it reliable? It is still propaganda which only Murdoch was willing to spread. The BBC, the Guardian, Washington Post all passed on it as have other reliable sources of record.

KOMO may be local network tv in Seattle but the story they posted is based on SVR and the SUN(UK/Murdoch) sources which have both reported exaggerated Putin health rumors previously, which curiously no reliable press have repeated. The story actually is from TND a very dubious Sinclair Broadcasting agency.


How does this not meet our requirement for NOT repeating RW and bogus sources on DU?

[CatWoman]

48. i posted the story last night -- got it off the cbs site

[Ford_Prefect]

49. I'd love to see CBS news certify it true.

Newsweek had it up as a doubtful rumor source.

BBC hasn't got it. Guardian hasn't. WAPO and NYT neither.

It has been spread far and wide across the Murdoch empire which is not a good indication.

Where on CBS News did you see it referenced? When I go to https://www.cbsnews.com/#search-form: they don't have it as a searchable item. Maybe you have another site I missed?

[CatWoman]

[Ford_Prefect]

58. Thanks, I see that. Although it is still referring back to the TND/Sinclair News sourced story.

Beeb, Guardian and other similar outlets are ignoring it, for what that is worth.

[moonscape]

52. KOMO is owned by Sinclair so there's that. n/t

[Lulu KC]

53. I have also wondered

I guess it's more telling about Putin's decline in popularity that there even is such a story coming out of Russia than the actual contents. Still, though, wondering how or why it's here.

[Samrob]

44. It baffles me how people like Trump and Putin are allowed to continue to lead a nation. nt

[czarjak]

47. Vlad-Splat?

[moniss]

51. Perhaps Snowden's

new status comes with the job of cleaning up Rootin' Tootin' Hootin' Putin after "mishaps".

[niyad]

54. Somebody please finish him already!

[Shermann]

57. Informants within Putin's security team eh?

So, they would risk being compromised by leaking this embarrassing but ultimately worthless factoid?
