An ex-KGB agent who defected to the West has said 'paranoid' and 'insane' Putin is likely to be suffering from Parkinson's and early stage dementia, but added that members of his inner circle may be kept in the dark about his physical state.
Boris Karpichkov former KBG agent who defected from Russia, told The Sun that Putin was 'insane' and becoming 'obsessed by paranoid ideas'. 'He sees literally everyone, including those inside the Russian security services and even inside his close inner circle, to be "traitors"', he said. Putin may be keeping those closest to him unaware of his health difficulties, in under to maintain his strongman image
Former KGB-agent listed Parkinson's, cancer, or another medical condition as an explanation for his odd behavior, adding to the list of commentators speculating over Putin's health. 'I am not a medic myself... but there is serious concern that Putin is suffering from numerous physical health conditions - possibly from sport injuries during his younger years,' ---. 'This is along with some issues which affect older people - such as Dementia in early stages.'
Karpichkov said Russian president is known among his circle as obsessive over details, with reputation for remembering faces and conversations. 'He is so suspicious and so obsessed with paranoid ideas that he can be now compared with Stalin tyrant,' ---. Bloated Putin was seen gripping a table, slouching in his chair during a televised meeting with defense minister Sergei Shoigu.
Stalin's last years were marked by paranoia and mistrust. He had one of his doctors imprisoned after he suggested the dictator should retire from political life to try and improve his health. By 1952, the Kremlin was rounding up doctors and torturing them for allegedly plotting to kill senior politicians, resulting in most medical professionals fleeing the country.

MORE>>>>>Putin has also begun to interrogate doctors — in an echo of Stalin’s last years. In February, Russian authorities interrogated Professor Valery Solovey, 61, for seven hours over the regular claims about Putin’s supposed medical and mental condition. Solovoy was a professor at Moscow State Institute of International Relations, attended by future top diplomats and spies.
Professor Solovey has been linked to the Telegram channel General SVR which reported on Saturday that Putin may be forced to give up control of the war in Ukraine for days as he is set for cancer surgery. It said the Russian dictator will reportedly nominate hardline Security Council head and ex-FSB chief Nikolai Patrushev to take control of the invasion while he is under the knife, after having personally taken control of on-the-ground operations.
The surgery had been scheduled for the second half of April but was delayed, SVR claimed. It will now not take place before the Victory Day commemoration of Russia’s World War Two victory in Red Square on May 9, the person alleged. General SVR reported that Putin has abdominal cancer and Parkinson’s 18 months ago.

Great WWIII is cause by senility. Biden Vs Putin.
Are they trying to say that a leader with dementia is bad?
It seems that former KGB people are just as trustworthy as former CIA or FBI agents.
🤔
We sure do live in interesting times
🛐🙏✝️
Parkinson’s maybe. The rest seems like the usual exaggeration or disinformation or guesswork.
Why not but Senile Putin in the same old folks home as we will put senile Biden in and let them have at it.
We invented it first!......................
They could compare him to Biden. He’s a rocket scientist compared to that idiot.
And paranoid dementia.
Nah,Brandon just hates America and more generally humanity.
Not diagnosing the guy, but if he has cancer and it’s spread to his bones…that will cause dementia like symptoms.
My God, the Bullshyte flows thick and fast from Daily Mail and our resident neocons. They are intent on making everyone here more stupid.
Regardless of what you think of Putin, Russia, the invasion of Ukraine - the guy is clearly not suffering from Dementia.
If you want to see dementia - watch a Putin press conference and then watch a Biden press conference.
So I guess he has something in common with Biden after all
“Parkinson’s maybe. The rest seems like the usual exaggeration or disinformation or guesswork.”
Who can guess better than a former KGB agent? A Russian, obviously. He knows how the Kremlin operates. How Stalin operated. He has good insights into how Putin’s mind works.
Putin vs Biden - two paranoid dementia specimens vying to turn the world into a nuclear cinder. Say your prayers!
