“Moon face from massive doses of corticosteroids.
Today’s photo from the video is on the left.”
My suspicions exactly. He’s on some sort of steroid medication. Putin is no druggy, never has been. He’s a very disciplined man. However, I believe his health has taken a turn for the worse. Are steroids a treatment for Parkinson’s disease? Anyone know? Jerry Lewis was on steroids and got very bloated. Anyone remember what illness he had?
I think Putin’s actions are based on a heavy sense of his own mortality. He knows he is running out of time and wants his legacy to be a reconstitution of the Russian federation before he dies. After all, it is what he has lived for lo these many years.
