He was released in 2013 and fled to London, where he now leads a foundation, the Dossier Center, dedicated to exposing criminal activity by Kremlin insiders.

Putin doesn't look well with his puffy face. Wonder if he is on prednisone or something?

Putin is Hitler-level crazy. But he has a giant army with lots of bombs, missiles, guns, and other fun "toys" to back up that crazy.

I wonder …
Does Putin suffer from a terminal disease?
Are his actions a desperate attempt to return to his KGB glory days before his demise?
Enquiring minds want to know.

I have also noticed that Putin looks fat faced compared to just a year or two ago. Gaining weight? Drugs?
I can tell you that a very good friend went entirely insane from taking prednesone for an autoimmune issue. She was a very pleasant lady, always laughing and smiling, had two beautiful kids and a loving husband. She got sick, started the prednesone and the docs warned my friend to lock up the knives and guns where she couldn't get to them. She struggled to get off of the drug, but her health would collapse due to autoimmune damage as the dose tapered down. At this mentally fragile stage, her younger sister got terminal cancer and the sister's husband abandoned her, and her newborn baby. My friends took in the sister and infant, nursed the dying sister until her end. The wife was so stressed and grief stricken by all these horrible, unlucky things, that her mind just seemed to snap, and she turned mean and crazy. This broke up the marriage after a few more years.
So........if Putin is no prednesone .....look out he may be entirely unhinged from the drug's mindbending effects. I saw it destroy a family.

The heads of two of the three world superpowers are now both mad. Has Xi had an evaluation lately?

I think Putin is sick and this is his final hurrah. He is going out on his terms. Kremlin denizens are probably scrambling to consolidate their power. Chechins have been conscripted to this fight - they are closer than Russia's other troops, or is there another reason? Are troops refusing to move at Putin's request?

Someone needs to just shoot the guy. That's how things are done in Russia. Get rid of the problem before it gets bad.
