No idea what spawned this.

No, it would be world news if this was true.

~~ChosenOne~~ · 09-20-2022, 07:33 PM

Wishful thinking but it sure would be great if this is why his speech was postponed and someone else walks out in front of the press in a few hours to announce that Russia is standing down effective immediately.

Uh... Ok, I guess we use can this thread to discuss the conspiracy theories that Putin has some illness that will lead to his death soon or at least force him out of power, which may be the reason he's going out of his way to keep the war going? Though, I think it's best to keep in mind that those are conspiracy theories with little to back them up... And this thread may be deleted if it gets out of control...

Like I said, I had no idea what prompted it..and no one else mentioned it. maybe someone inside the circle leaked it. wouldn't put it past the russian government to have people think he was still alive when he wasn't.

It could've began as a meme that indicates the consequences of Putin's actions in a war that he can't win; but then took on life, as all things do through the internet brain-trust who only perceived it as deeply as a literal joke about a guy in a casket.

*Mayhem* · 09-21-2022, 11:16 AM

There were rumours of a failed assassination plot over the weekend...

*IndigoErth* · 09-21-2022, 01:48 PM

Well he's been busy issuing threats because he's not winning, so either he's still kicking just fine or that was a short window afterward in which someone took him out. Didn't have the appearance of an ill man in video either. (Well, aside from the mental type that leads you to attack neighbors for totally mental reasons.)

Do we even dare hope...?

...Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, couldn't be.

This would be world news and not some hashtag on Twitter if it were true.

*oldmanwinters* · 09-21-2022, 03:36 PM

Putin is apparently considering going nuclear, according to today's reports.

Welp, guess I'll never get to check Saint Petersburg off my bucket list before it's turned into a plain of glass...

*CyberCubed* · 09-22-2022, 11:50 AM

Maybe Sumac is being drafted, apparently now Russia is drafting all men between 18-65 to fight.

*Andrew NDB* · 09-22-2022, 11:58 AM

Or he had his VPN off and they found his Technodrome posts and put him in the gulag. This is more likely.

If that's the case then I hope some of those who want no part of it and are against this war are able to safely disappear if sent to Ukraine and able to seek asylum somewhere...

We've more often not gotten along, but I wish for Sumac that he is and remains safe.

*CyberCubed* · 09-22-2022, 12:35 PM

I really wonder if there's any way young people can revolt. Being forced to fight and die in a meaningless war in 2022 is absurd. Granted the fear of imprisonment or death is always there.

Many ways. But none that don't end with them getting clubbed unconscious and ending up in a gulag or worse.

He was logged on yesterday, guys, he probably just either doesn't feel like posting or got busy or something. C'mon.

*neatoman* · 09-22-2022, 05:36 PM

People are of course fleeing Russia in fear of the draft, so hopefully anyone eligible manage to get out.

~~Vegita-San~~ · 09-22-2022, 06:01 PM

find it interesting that people are for folks avoiding the draft here, but folks in our own country forced to fight in foreign wars, when some are clearly not ready for something like that, tend to get looked down on.

and I agree, hope sumac is alright.
