Haha that The Sun article that spawned all this cancer chat claims that Putin may have cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, abdominal cancer, terminal cancer, schizoaffective disorder, and has ruined sclerotic veins all over including his puffy face and hands from being perpetually shot full of steroids and painkillers. I was going to go on a hyperbole and add various butt cancers and cronic norovirus infestations to the list, but that The Sun article reads like it beat me to most of that.

Honestly there is a shot of Putin having an IV bruise on his hand so while I don't really believe the Sun, I think it wouldn't be a surprise if there is something genuinely wrong with him.

Something is wrong with him health wise, that much is basically an open secret. He cannot walk right, he's constantly looking like he's either uncomfortable or in pain.

the idea of people moving to russia to get away from bad weather and their miserable lives is so bug gently caress bananas that I know putin believes it's true.

For whatever reason it reminds me of the (possibly apocryphal) story about when Soviet movie theaters showed The Grapes of Wrath movie to peasants. The Soviet leadership had decided to show the movie to show how decadent and depraved the West was, because it was letting the main characters starve when everyone around them had plenty. The peasants thought it was a comedy because the characters had enough money for a truck :ussr:


EDIT

Pootie is also seventy years old. We in the West sorta take it for granted that our political leaders are undead liches from before time, but Poots is old as gently caress for most of the world. It would be weird if he didnt have anything wrong with him. Also since he seems to be into weird occult / rich person poo poo, I'm assuming that he gets weird medical treatments with weird reactions.

Based on the pictures a few months ago I was suspecting a spinal problem, maybe sciatica or a herniated disc. Or maybe a cancer pressing against the spine?

Honest word: the Finnish hawks and yellow press media have observed Putin's comings and goings at least since Sochi and have been reporting on any absence, or possible facial surgery, or scar over his left kidney, and they've practically jinxed the whole subject. There's been so many "he is going to drop dead aaaaany second now!" reports that i could swear that each piece only increases his lifespan. Like some kind of ironic vampire that will outlast us all.

Point being: I don't think speculating on Vovas health means anything at all by this point.

We're especially in an era where medical care for the elite gives them a good 10 to 20 years over the plebes. Him being 70 isn't super old in 202X, sadly. We're going to be seeing a lot of rich people and politicians still holding onto power (real power, not just the queen), into their 80s and even 90s. Just the emperor in the dark crystal collapsing into dust over and over.

What does North Korea even want fancy horses for? You can eat the cheaper ones just fine.

Trading medicine for weapons/ammo makes more sense, but you think they might want to hold onto that stuff.

Though I guess you could trade the fake/subpar stuff and nobody in NK is really going to notice until all the deals are done.

To be fair the futurists got excited about thinking about things being killed in general. It was a bad scene, 4channers with race cars.

Oh almost forgot about this - Nordstream released some more details on the nordstream pipeline damage -https://www.nord-stream.com/press-info/press-releases/incident-on-the-nord-stream-pipeline-updated-02112022-529/
https://twitter.com/OAlexanderDK/status/1587806021505908739?s=20&t=pgRgIg5pI57qFSqbP9Atfg
Portion from today:

quote:

As of 2 November 2022, Nord Stream AG has completed initial data gathering at the location of the pipeline damage on Line 1 in the Swedish exclusive economic zone.

According to preliminary results of the damage site inspection, technogenic craters with a depth of 3 to 5 meters were found on the seabed at a distance of about 248 m from each other. The section of the pipe between the craters is destroyed, the radius of pipe fragments dispersion is at least 250 m. Experts continue to analyse the survey data.

So ongoing

Like five or six years ago this Ukranian lady I worked with got me some horse ribs through some shady network of horse meat suppliers that apparently exist in Alberta to supply people that grew up eating it. They were really good, definitely had a distinct flavour, though I think I would still choose beef or pork ribs over horse. I posted a pic on Facebook and like three people unfriended me lol
