Putin’s Cancer Treatment Not Working. Could This Be The End?
Speculation of body doubles appearing in public
It’s long been known that Vladimir Putin is undergoing treatment for cancer. According to latest reports, he has recently started a new cancer treatment and it’s not going well.
The Express newspaper says, Russian reports state, “Putin’s cancer is in a worse state than previously thought, and he is receiving his third round of therapy…
“According to political expert Valery Solovey: ‘He is now undergoing a third course of treatment. The previous two were extremely unsuccessful.’”
The Telegram channel General SVR, reported that Putin did not respond to calls from his doctors and guards recently, so they entered his room uninvited, where they found him sat on the floor weeping hysterically. Source: The Express.
There’s also speculation that a body double was used at a recent tour of Ukraine.
Background to Putin’s health problems
News outlets have variously reported that President Putin may be struggling with Parkinson’s disease and cancer. Specifically, different sources have reported that he’s suffering from abdominal cancer, thyroid cancer and bowel cancer.
Apart from the obvious question about whether he’s well enough to run a country, let alone a war, there’s the question as to what extent these health challenges have changed his perspective, and affected his ability to think clearly and make rational decisions.
There’s no doubt that Parkinson’s disease can change someone’s thought processes, and may lead to dementia. Cancer and chemotherapy can both affect someone’s ability to think clearly and make rational decisions, too.
An oncologist told the Mirror newspaper that chemotherapy “can seriously affect executive functions, like making plans for the future, multi-tasking and thinking about the consequences before doing something major.” People undergoing treatment of this kind might “make ‘crazy’ decisions without cogently thinking them through.”
Wales Online reported, “Putin’s psychiatric health is bad indeed, and stories about him going bonkers are not a joke.”
