Vladimir Putin 'is given three years to live by doctors' due to his 'rapidly progressing cancer'

[Swede]

An FSB officer described the Russian president's condition as a 'severe form of rapidly progressing cancer', as speculation ramped up that Putin was suffering with some form of serious illness amid the invasion of Ukraine.
The spy explained the wartime leader has 'no more than two to three years' left and he is also losing his sight, reports the Mirror.

News of the Russian leader's terminal illness emerged as part of a secret message from the Russian agent to fugitive and former FSB agent Boris Karpichkov.

1. That's much too long.

[calimary]

51. Hah! First thing I thought was "hmmm, can't they hurry that up a little?"

[treestar]

57. +1

First thought too.

[Wounded Bear]

2. Can't they speed that up a bit? Ukraine would appreciate that, I think...

[Delphinus]

3. I think much

of the world would appreciate it happening sooner than three years.

[Javaman]

4. Daily mail. Enough said.nt

[Swede]

10. Great source of news.

nt

[ificandream]

31. As good as the NY Daily News and Fox. :)

[Javaman]

37. Yeah,okay

[ificandream]

58. I think a couple of posts here (mine included) were meant sarcastically.

[Quixote1818]

41. Daily Mail is far right and not considered factual

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-mail/

It's possible this could be true, but Daily Mail is more likely to run with something based on questionable sources. Hopefully they have a good source on this.

[Celerity]

42. in the UK many of us (I grew up in west London) call it the Daily Heil

it's a RW, Brexit-loving rag

[Quixote1818]

43. It's funny but I anticipated the source being a tabloid. Until I see something about Putin's health

on a reputable source like ABC, CBS, NPR, CNN that do work to double and triple check their sources, I will ignore anything about Putin's health.

[Celerity]

45. many of our Brit tabloids are pure rumour mongers and disinfo agents (try following their

football transfer 'news', they are off the charts full of shite 90 plus per cent of the the time)

[canetoad]

47. Best description evah of the DM

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Daily_Mail

The Daily Mail is to the UK what the New York Post is to the United States, and what the Drudge Report is to the Internet: to wit, gossipy tabloid "journalism" for those who cannot digest serious news, with a flippantly wingnut editorial stance. Like the Daily Express, it tries to appear more upmarket and respectable than the red-top British tabloids, though it does sometimes go in for the full front-page picture or headline characteristic of the populist rags. It is also notorious for its frequent harassment of individuals, campaigns of hate directed at various minorities (focusing on Muslims), and willfully deceiving and lying to its readers.

[Turbineguy]

5. That's way too long.

he needs to go now.

[Thtwudbeme]

6. Too bad he can't use that time to be a decent human being

Maybe he'll be bedridden in a few weeks, or doped up on morphine.

[lpbk2713]

7. Drink plenty of tea.

The polonium variety is particularly tasty and highly recommended.

[hunter]

14. How do we know he didn't drink the tea?

Maybe one of his enemies miscalculated the dose.

I'm a pessimist. Whatever happens in Russia in the next few years won't be good.

Nobody knows how that will impact the rest of the world.

[TheRealNorth]

29. The polonium will kill the cancer cells

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. Three years doesn't really seem that "rapidly progressing".

To me, anyway.

Could they be prevaricating?

[stopdiggin]

17. quite right. doesn't sound 'rapid' at all

in terms of many cancers. And your use of the word prevaricating - might be far too kind?

[bigtree]

33. Cancer statistics often use an overall five-year survival rate

Survival rates are usually given in percentages. For instance, the overall five-year survival rate for bladder cancer is 77 percent. That means that of all people who have bladder cancer, 77 of every 100 are living five years after diagnosis. Conversely, 23 out of every 100 are dead within five years of a bladder cancer diagnosis.

Your doctor may be able to give you more specific statistics based on your stage of cancer. For instance, 60 percent of people diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer live for at least five years after diagnosis. The five-year survival rate for people diagnosed with late-stage lung cancer that has spread (metastasized) to other areas of the body is 6 percent.

Overall survival rates don't specify whether cancer survivors are still undergoing treatment at five years or if they've become cancer-free (achieved remission).

..this report doesn't tell us much.

[llashram]

9. if true, excellent

and I do hope someone is keeping an eye on him that is a sane person.

[wryter2000]

12. Too long

How much more of Ukraine can he destroy? How many people killed, tortured, and raped?

[llashram]

13. yeah, true this

[wryter2000]

11. 3 years is not rapid

3 months is.

[Meowmee]

50. Yep

Rapid cancer will not take 3 years to kill.

[CrackityJones75]

15. Any chance we can speed that up?

[lame54]

16. That means we all have 3 years left

[snowybirdie]

18. This is about

the 20th post I've seen here talking about a Putin illness. Last one said it would be three months. Please don't believe everything seen on the internet. I always try and find several similar stories from reputable sources before posting. Daily Mail is a tabloid rag from what I've heard.

[Itchinjim]

19. Three years too long.

[SWBTATTReg]

20. Perhaps he'll die a slow death for each bounty he paid to have our soldiers targeted, and / or to...

target American interests across the world simply because he could and because he wanted to cause mayhem.

Here's hoping that he does suffer, and those that enabled him too, suffer too. The world will be a better place afterwards I think.

[Lettuce Be]

21. Nope, just nope. Keep wishing but this is BS

Cancer doesn't work that way, and there is no way to determine how long you have in "years." That's just silly.

[mitch96]

23. "and he is also losing his sight, reports the Mirror. " Me thinks it might be a brain tumor?

Pressure on the optic nerve or the part of the brain that controls vision.. Metastasis to the brain from the primary?....Who knows... Lets hope it's quick..
m

[elias7]

24. They should look for brain Mets, given how crazy is going on now

[harumph]

25. Nobody knows. Even if his doctors knew

he was going to die in less than 6 months - does anyone believe they
would speak up or make that public? Not a chance in hell.

[jcgoldie]

26. Doesn't seem rapid enough...

Can we get a second opinion?

[Takket]

27. more than enough time to pick a nuclear fight.

[roamer65]

28. Doctors should overdose the chemo.

[yaesu]

30. I'm waiting for the aliens abducted him headline. nt

[bigtree]

32. three years to live with cancer comes with a percentage number depending on if it's already spread

...really all I wanted to say.

People who aren't Putin deserve theirs and our hope.

[highplainsdem]

34. Shame that's years instead of days.

[bluedigger]

36. How long are they giving the rest of us?

[StarryNite]

46. Wow! Good point!

The longer he has the less time other people have.

[Noahv]

38. I heard Fidel was about to die like 30 times

I hope the rumors are true though.

[Hekate]

39. Not soon enough

[misanthrope]

40. I've heard polonium cures cancer

Just saying, Vlad.

[LeftInTX]

44. I've heard handling it, also causes it!

[misanthrope]

54. Hey, you take enough polonium and

it will stop every cancerous cell in your body from growing. Guaranteed.

C'mon, Putin! you want to stop this malignancy or not?

[niyad]

48. Three years is NOT "rapidly spreading". Could somebody PLEASE speed

things up? Last week would be good.

[MurrayDelph]

49. How do we get the doctor

to back-date that diagnosis?

[Warpy]

52. I don't believe a word out of any Russian's mouth

In any case, three years is a slow cancer.

His watershed year was 2014. That's the year his dudebro Yanukovych had to run for his life and Putins wife kicked him to the curb. He resonded by invading Crimea and Donetsk.

I think being stymiedin Ukraine has driven him bonkers, he believed ever6thing a bunch of liars were telling him and instead of regrouping after he found out it was all lies, he's trying to double down.

I honestly don't see any signs of cancer treatment. I only see a man who stayed in office too long and got lost in fantasy land, dreaming of an empire whose day is long gone.

[Blaukraut]

53. Three years is an eternity for Putin to get up to all sorts of mischief. n/t

[Bucky]

55. probably disinfo

I don't trust anything coming out of Russia, even if it's propaganda I'd like to be true

[leftyladyfrommo]

56. It might be way worse. Everyone around him is afraid to

tell him the truth.

[anamnua]

59. Even better
