    VLADIMIR Putin is set to undergo an operation for cancer and will hand over power to his hardline spy chief, a Kremlin insider has reportedly claimed.

    The Russian tyrant’s health has been source of considerable speculation amid reports that he is battling both abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s Disease.

    But now it has been reported that 69-year-old Putin could soon vanish as he goes under the knife, with power transferred to Nikolai Patrushev.

    Shadowy Patrushev, 70, is seen as a key architect of the Ukraine war strategy and the man who convinced Putin that Kyiv was awash with neo-Nazis.

    The claim was reported on Russian media outlet General SVR, which first raised issues of Putin’s health around 18-months ago.

    They quote an anonymous former high-ranking Kremlin military figure as saying: “Putin has discussed that he will be undergoing medical procedures.”

    In video in which the source, whose voice appears to have been disguised, reveals that “doctors insist that he needs an operation, but the date has not yet been determined”.

    “He will have surgery and while he is incapacitated,” he says, adding that he “thinks it'll be for a short time”.

    The source said the choice of spymaster Patrushev, which came after a two-hour “heart to heart” with Putin, was the “worst option”.

    He went on to speculate that Putin’s health problems could deteriorate.

    “What if, all of a sudden, Putin manifests particularly severe health problems?,” he said.

    “We know very well that he has cancer, and Parkinson's disease, as we have said many times.

    “It was possible to contain it for some time, but now the course of the disease is progressing.”

    When exactly Putin will go into hospital is unclear but it is unlikely to before May 9, when he presides over the grandiose Red Victory Day commemoration of the defeat of Hitler.

    The UK's Defence Secretary Ben Wallace warned Putin could use the day to announce the mobilisation of his reserves for a final push in Ukraine.

    He told LBC: "He is probably going to declare… that we are now at war with the world’s Nazis and we need to mass mobilise the Russian people.

    "Putin, having failed in nearly all objectives, may seek to consolidate what he’s got…and just be a sort of cancerous growth within the country.”

    It comes as military bosses have now urged Putin to drop the term "special operation" used for the invasion and instead declare war on Ukraine - which would enable the mass mobilisation of Russian troops.

    An all-out war would allow Moscow to draft in more conscripts, impose martial law and also bid for support from its international allies - such as Belarus.

    Shouldn't be of much concern to Russians.

    It's not like their leader is a dementia -riddled pedophile being controlled by China who is demanding $30,000,000,000 from Congress to give to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin's previous employer Raytheon to escalate another Endless War for Profit.

    The orange orangutan is a Russian asset, with a daughter fetish.

    G.W. Bush started a 20 year war for profit that Obama and Trump perpetuated. So I'm not seeing where either side is clear of some form of wrongdoing here.

    The guy he is giving power to sounds almost worse then him, if that's possible.

    They could easily kill him while he is under and just say he didn't make out of surgery.

    It must be pretty bad for someone as paranoid as Putin to undergo the surgery.

    Has anyone seen anything in the mainstream media to corroborate any of this other than just the speculation that he’s sick?

    He sent an undertrained and armed force into Ukraine and thought he would win in just a few days?

    No doubt about the delusions. I’m looking for corroboration that he’s about to die an ugly, cancer and Parkinson’s riddled death. Kind of a Kremlin Karma.

    Currently I don't have any candidates. But I doubt that I could afford any of them anyway. It took one billion dollars to defeat Hillary in 2016. It took nearly 16 billion dollars to defeat Trump in 2020. I am wondering what will 2024 bring , 30?, 50? billion dollars? Americans can't afford that kind of cash output for a presidential race. Too much dark money in our politics nowadays. You need to be rich to buy our politicians. And most of us will never be quite that rich.

    Allow every American a $500 freedom dollar to donate to whoever they want. Make it available via the IRS.
