I will never understand what drives a person to cling to power like this right up to the bitter end, clearly making an absolute embarrassment of themselves in the process.
I'm not just talking about Pootin either. Moscow Mitch McConnell, Nancy "Insider Trading is my Right" Pelosi, and of course Little Donny himself, among others.
Stalin, a man Putin would love to be compared to said his position was that of holding a wolf by the ears - any slight release and he would be eaten alive.
Stalin died in his office after a stroke. They dont know when it was because everyone was too araid to check on him.
Imo, it's what having a shit load of money does to people's brains.
If you have a lot of it for long enough, you tend to think you deserve it/are important. But if your actions are shit because you are inherently neither of those things, then it creates some painful cognitive dissonance. And when you have that much money, not much is uncomfortable except what's on your conscious. So specifically: You have money, but people don't seem to like what you do with it, and that bothers you literally more than anything else (as all other problems of yours have been solved with money).
So instead of figuring out ways to use your money productively, you just go find others that won't judge you for spending it all on what you like. But that goes both ways, as this group WILL judge you for not liking what THEY like to spend all their money on selfishly.
And what they like, is to be selfish - to build a bigger dick shaped rocket than anyone else who has the money to do the same. So, in order to keep the selfish assholes liking you, you complement them for being one while being ignorant that you are now the same.
The world gets a bunch of dick rockets that do nothing for it. And everyone who spends money selfishly feels they're doing the right thing.
Basically, any societal pressure to spend money productively for the benefit of everyone can now just be suplanted by greedy peer pressure to exploit society for more dick rockets.
Emotionally, building dick rockets is now the only thing that makes these people feel they deserve their wealth. So at the end of their lives, they will do EVERYTHING in their power to finish their dick rocket masterpiece, as to them, it is directly tied to the legacy they're leaving behind.
Without ever realizing their legacy is just another waste of billions that could have benefited humanity though being used in almost any other way. They've tied their own worth and self image to dick rocket building without realizing not a single other person benefits from or cares about dick rockets.
Europe is Putins Dick Rocket. Trump is McConnells Dick Rocket. Exploiting the stock market is Pelosi's Dick Rocket etc.
In the pursuit of their own happiness, they reject any notion of charity in favor of more greed. Because they've never realized that their money doesn't make them happy, it's what they do with it that does. Instead of reaching that realization, they've instead tricked themselves into believing using money to make Dick Rockets could somehow make them happier than the social good-will basic charity always provides.
The more money you have, the more daily annoyances you can pay to get rid of, and the smaller they are. By the time you have billions of dollars, the things that annoy you daily can be EXTREMELY small and petty. You become disconnected from what other people are dealing with.
As fucked up as it soundsβ¦
Why not? Death being the final arbiter what the fuck do you care CNN says if you get to rule the world into oblivion? We care cause we have to deal with the outcome but at that age when you personally donβtβ¦ I mean fuck usβ¦ right?
Small PP syndrome
Can't help but wonder what happens if both he and Trump keel over in the next 6 months.
Champagne prices would skyrocket.
I feel like second in commands would come up rather quickly, for trump atleast
If someone poisoned him with radiation if would be some kind of poetic justice
Putin getting intense radiation poisoning and spending a few weeks literally disintegrating while being kept alive in a hospital wouldn't be great. But it would be very close.
It wouldn't be terrible either.
It wouldn't be amazing, just as close to amazing as you can get.
Is there any better source on this?
Daily Star UK is a questionable source. MSN publishes articles from many bad sources such as this one, so when I stumble upon a link to MSN, I typically search for a better second source.
The Irish Mirror also posted this, and gets a mostly factual rating from MBFC.
Thanks.
The Irish Mirror does describe this as a rumour. The rumours about health issues are all over the place: thyroid cancer, Parkinson's disease, incontinence, cardiac arrest...
I don't wish him well, but either it's a bunch of random rumours, or he's very seriously I'll.
Who is the doctor that resuscitated pootin?? Dude, first order of medicine is "do no harm." Reviving a bloodthirsty despot is 100% fucking harm.
I understand the sentiment behind this, but FTR, the Hippocratic Oath is specifically towards patients: to treat them equally with the sole goal of improving their condition(s).
Hating on one particular doctor fulfilling their oath is misguided unless you want proving you're worthy of treatment before any doctor will help you to become the norm.
Yeah, but who hasn't placed too much trust in a fart before? It's easily done.
In 2022, the Kremlin found itself in the position of having to quash gossip that Putin had an accident after falling down a flight of stairs, supposedly losing control of his bowels "involuntarily" due to "cancer affecting his stomach and bowels."
Dafuq?
Where is this coming from? I hope its true and that he is already dead, but I cant see reputable sources talking about this or Zelensky's comments on his health.
This kinda makes sense then
They do this for every US president too since Reagan I believe
why?
Reagan had Alzheimer's I believe? And they were trying to cover it up.
Serious answer, stool samples can tell you a lot about a person's health, and that knowledge can give you an advantage (especially against nations that insist on electing geriatrics to high office).
He probably makes them do it just for laughs.
what do you mean fears? is that somehow autocorrected from hopes?
An ai probably misunderstood what the "thoughts and prayers"were about this time...
Ah, good ole mortality. Death is promise for everyone, Putin. Hopefully Trump gets humbled by death's visit as well.
Did he really piss himself?
Easy fix with "methylene blue!". Please go Google that up. It cures everything! Plus it makes your poop blue. Or maybe it only makes your poop blue and gives you diarrhea. One of the two.
Can permanently stain your cartridge blue also.
