Is Putin Still Alive?
« on: November 08, 2023, 09:09:52 AM »
I keep seeing media in the West claiming that Putin has died. Is this just propaganda or is there a possibility that he has really died? Does anyone know?

Quote

"Yet neither Solovey or GeneralSVR have backed down. The latter continues to insist:

a “coup d’etat” is underway
the “real” Putin lies in a freezer in his Valdai Palace
many of the President’s public appearances were via video-links,
the country is actually being run by Nikolai Patrushev the Secretary of Russia’s Security Council
one or more of the “doubles” is filling the gap until the Patrushev’s cabal decides what to do"

It's neither propaganda or truth......it's just more absolute fantasy coming from the western legacy media. If one were to question how honest these guys really are, then this conflict in isolation has proven how fabricated their stories have been and how dishonest they are, as a whole.

There's a timeline of BS running from Putins health and the Ghost of Kiev right through to the success of the summer offensive, alleged war crimes and wild claims of bizarre military successes.

Some Russian propagandas said that mean for internal Russia to see how people would react. He did not die and nowhere on western media have I read this. In Ukraine media it was reported to be a false claimed to see how it would be received in Russia. Just a test. He will die someday. Maybe he will still be in power. For now, that self-centered moron will continue screw up everything he can for Russians.
3) There has been no "threat" to invade Ukraine. The US invented that and fed it to a complicit media.

You're still posting absolute nonsense Tex. Your made up fantasy gives the western media a run for its money.

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

This supposedly happened in October, and it was quickly reported in Ukraine news as being fake. So, you think that this is not even current news. The originally source of the was a Russian blogger with connection to the Kremlin who kept up the story for over a week saying Putin had body doubles. If it was really Western news why did I not report it. Because it was also reported on MSN as being fake news. It is just what news you want to read.

From MSN

At the moment, there is no evidence to prove Putin is dead, or that a body double has taken his place.

Yes that's correct, it was on both.

I like to monitor both of them as well as a few others.

Why did you not monitor the story was fake then. The story ran on MSN at the same time the story ran it was fake but the source was a Russian blogger so you might say it was Russian news that started the story copied in western news with the story it is fake news. Of course, the way the Russia blogger ran the story the Kremlin was supposed to be denying it because it was supposed to be a cover up while they decided who the next president was going to be. What the outcome was not many Russians give a dam if Putin is dead or not.

What I read was not portraying it as being by a Russian blogger or in anyway fake.

What I read it was being portrayed that Putin was definitely dead. I did not read about that Russian blogger until much later.

So this is why I posted the question, Is Putin still alive? For all we know he has passed away and it's being kept secret.  :chuckle:
