This was expected to happen the moment he backed down.

There was one headline that said he had cancer, which I'm sure is BS, but that's how I through they'd get rid of him.

I think Putin has had cancer since February last year now lol

There was a recent headline speculating that his presence at BRICS was AI generated.

Wouldn't it be crazy if he was already dead, and we've been watching deepfakes for the last 3 months?
