Mr. Putin kind of disappeared from public view a couple days ago. Rumors are swirling through the media as to why the unexplained absence. My initial hunch was he was pouring over a map of Mariupol planning every last possible chess piece position. I noticed there were several articles claiming Putin was ill, even that he had had a stroke. I decided to try this angle. And I found something very telling. Three days ago a trailer for an upcoming show on Russian TV appeared in which Putin states that Russia was instrumental in the annexation of Crimea. I noticed Putin is heavy into the back of his chair. His suit jacket is bunched up at the collar. His arms also seem very heavy and his legs are unanimated except for something he does with lifting up the front of his foot occasionally. His head moves as he talks but it is as his body is asleep. Looking at several other interviews Putin has given over the past couple of years this last one is markedly different. My theory; enemies of Putin have poisoned him and forced him to give a confession of his actions relating to the Ukraine. OK. It is not so much as a theory as a wild guess. I do think there is some merit to the guess however. Here is the trailer:
