Putin To Hand Over Keys To War While He Has Cancer Surgery

New York (Knewz) — Vladimir Putin’s cancer surgery will force him to hand over power in the Ukraine war “for days,” a “Kremlin insider” told the Daily Mail.

Putin will reportedly put hardline Security Council head and ex-FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev in power while he is dealing with surgery. Patrushev, 70, has played a big role in the Ukraine war thus far and convinced Putin that Kyiv is overrun by neo-Nazis, the Daily Mail reports.

A year and a half ago, General SVR reported that Putin is suffering from abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s. The Daily Mail reports that Putin has put off the surgery and it won’t happen before the Victory Day commemoration of Russia’s World War II victory in Red Square on May 9.

The surgery was originally scheduled for the second of April but has been pushed back, SVR reports.

Keep pushing it back Pooty.

some sane, empathetic Doctor take this into their hands. One slip of a scalpel, one missed suture, and it's Pootie's last day as dictator.

This "lord" person seems very selective in whose prayers he/she/it decides to answer, almost to the point of complete coincidence.

That's only my observation. Your mileage may vary.

How 'Swan Lake' became a symbol of protest in Russia

The famous Russian ballet may seem like an unlikely choice to foreigners, but it is a powerful historical reference for Russians that is being used as one of several coded forms of protest during the war, according to Russian State University anthropologist Alexandra Arkhipova. ....

One of those ways is through the image of ballerinas from "Swan Lake." Graffiti depicting the line of four ballerinas in the "Dance of the Cygnets" has been popping up on walls in Russian cities. Earlier last month, when independent Russian news outlet TV Rain signed off indefinitely due to pressure over its coverage of the conflict, it did so with a clip from "Swan Lake."

The moment was a nod to when Soviet state TV interrupted programming by airing the ballet on a loop after the death of Premier Leonid Brezhnev in 1982 while Soviet leaders selected a successor. The same thing happened again after the deaths of Yuri Andropov in 1984 and Konstantin Chernenko in 1985, as well as during a failed coup against Mikhail Gorbachev in 1991 -- becoming a sign of political instability and upheaval."

In the late Soviet times, this ballet was a symbol of all of the deaths of the Soviet leaders," Arkhipova said. "And so that's why it became a sign that we are waiting for Putin to die." ....

Thoughts and prayers for the cancer to come through this terrible ordeal. Surely it has suffered beyond words.

I've watched family and close friends fight cancer--some won, some lost, but it was always brutal. If I root for the cancer, it's ONLY because the human attached to it is evil incarnate.

drink the bleach, and follow that with the ivermectin. The surgeon won't tell him this, but if he did some research he'd learn the cancer is caused by the same worm that causes the malaria and the covid

It was operated on in time, and she was cured. The surgeons just located the malignancy, took out a segment with it and around it. However, the moment it was discovered, treatment was scheduled immediately. Putin has known of his ailment for almost a year, and keeps putting an operation off? Why, because he fears not waking up? A year ago, I would have thought he had little to fear. These days, I'm surprised he's not having it done in Beijing or Shanghai. For that matter, maybe he is

I'm not convinced it would make much difference, though. Who would take over? Putin has long since purged anyone in a position to do so who isn't completely loyal to him, and who doesn't agree with him about everything.

And his stooge will be given the boot as well. And hopefully someone with a desire to mend trampled fences with the West will be in place.
That'll be a long, arduous job but with Putin or his stooge they'll totally trash what's left of any shred of Russian respect.
Even the Chinese are gingerly pulling away. Xi made a really big mistake in throwing in with the Russians.
Guess he thought they'd be the brains and Russia's be the muscle of their "Axis."The muscle is flabby and the West will be buying much less from them.
Sanctions will be put in place, although not as severe as Russia's.
But their only Allies, Russia and North Korea, will no doubt be able to pick up the slack.

I’m a Christian (not an Evangelical) and it’s abhorrent to me to think I’d wish someone dead. But the very real aspect of this is that if he dies, the world would breathe a sigh of relief. How awful to have become such a monster that the world would honestly be a better place without you.

May God have mercy on his soul. But may the world be safer.
