I can’t find any way to believe that these people would refrain from “an accident” that “took care of” anyone inconvenient to the rise of Dearest Leader. Not necessarily arranged by the would-be widower himself, but by others who stand to profit from his ascension to power. But on the other hand: > [@romansperson](#): > > Those old kids could be forgotten in a hot minute and the new ‘pureblood’ kids of the widow Kirk taken on as if they were his own. This is quite possible. The old, ‘imperfect’ family could simply be shunted off and forgotten, and a glorious new White family might be all anyone ever hears about from this time forward. ---

It was a mistranslation. The reports were actually that Putin _is_ cancer. ---

I find it hard to believe (as much as I want to) that those odd stripes of color on his right cheek aren’t some sort of photographic anomaly, intentional or otherwise. Likewise the wavy color lines on his forehead up into his hairline (or whatever that is). So I watched 5 seconds of the taped interview (on the 60 Minutes channel on YouTube), which is as much as I could stand, and he didn’t look like that. So what’s the point of publishing a photo like this? Does it get us any forwarder towards him actually being dead? ---

I assumed the wierd colors were artifacts of someone taking a photo of a TV screen. Ignoring those, he does look unwell in that photo. Neither his eyes nor his mouth are symmetric. In fact, if a friend’s face looked like that, I’d urge them to be checked out for possibly having a stroke. ---

What’s made up? It’s a real picture. He isn’t dying his hair anymore and his face is noticeably drooping. He’s probably had a stroke and his memory is starting to fail him. It’s yet more evidence that he’s not well. ---

Maybe it was taken with a camera, but it is not representative of the subject. > [@Smapti](#): > > He isn’t dying his hair anymore Irrelevant to his health > [@Smapti](#): > > his face is noticeably drooping The photo was taken while he was talking. I bit the bullet and watched a couple of minutes more of him in the interview. I don’t see facial drooping that would be unusual for a 79-year-old, nor do I see asymmetry (I, for example, have one eye that tends to close more than the other because of a bout of Bell’s Palsy a number of years ago; maybe other people don’t notice or maybe they think I’m having a stroke.) > [@Smapti](#): > > his memory is starting to fail him. Which you can tell by looking at a photo? You know, publish and say whatever. I just think it’s a sorry waste of energy. That’s all I’m going to say about it. You’re welcome. ---
