Under the knife Putin to have cancer surgery, transfer power to his ex-police chief pal: report Russian President Vladimir Putin is set to undergo cancer surgery and temporarily hand over power to a hardline former federal police chief, according to a new report. Putin will transfer control of Russia’s government to Nikolai Patrushev, head of the Russian federal police’s Security Council, while he is incapacitated during and after the procedure, according to a video from the mysterious Telegram channel “General SVR” on Saturday. The channel — which is purportedly run by a former Russian Foreign Intelligence Service lieutenant general known by the pseudonym “Viktor Mikhailovich” — reported that Putin has been told by doctors that he must undergo an operation. The anticipated surgery and recovery are expected to incapacitate Putin for “a short time,” according to the unconfirmed report.
Holding Vlad in my thoughts and prayers and sending some radiation therapy his way. You are welcome, Vlad. I am a giver.
If the worst happens to him during surgery or in recovery... Never doubt "karma is a bitch". wrbtrader
Who knows. Might be a weak heart, surgeon might make a mistake or two, some infection, electricity might disappear etc. Man is quite old. You know. Wouldn't that be epic. SnP gaps up 500 points. Everyone's happy and making monies.
The SP will not gap up 500 points if Putin dies under the knife alone. It would have to happen on Wednesday this week, and be combined with Powell hopefully going, "holy shit, QT is bad. Turn it on...!" But we know Putin is invincible and will not die and let the war rage for years, and Powell is bird of prey until the end of the year.
Putin's health is back in the news again. Likely it means nothing -- the Russian dictator is probably just as healthy as Biden or Trump.

The difference is that Biden was open to the public about his health problems back in 1988 which resulted in two brain surgeries for brain aneurysms including Biden being open about the reasons for the "cognitive problems" back then. In contrast, Trump and Putin go to great lengths to hide their health problems that highlight their "cognitive problems". You'll need a top-secret security clearance to know what is causing the cognitive problems for Trump and Putin. wrbtrader
