rumors about the Russian leader's failing health.

Yeah yeah, we've had these for years now. Wake me up when Russia's new president signs a peace deal that isn't a full on annexation of Ukrainian territories with nothing in return. If that ever happens.

Putin cancer and Trump legal consequences: this time for sure™️

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 7 points 6 days ago

It will be true eventually

[–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's true. But it's also true that the guy isn't immortal.

[–] boonhet@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Technically not proven yet. Hopefully soon.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 2 points 6 days ago

When the time eventually comes, I wonder how big of a bloodbath the change of regimes will be?

[–] thepumpkin3@lemm.ee 29 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Hopefully Trump and Putin’s bodies take care of the problems for the world sooner rather than later

[–] MBech@feddit.dk 20 points 6 days ago (3 children)

The bigger issue is that Trump and Putin are just the most visible part of the problem.

If they both died tomorrow (oh god please), another would simply take their place. It would require a complete deprogramming of their supporters on the scale of Germany in 1945. The problem is that the entire government needs to fall for that to ever even be attempted. It would literally require a revolution or large scale invasion for that to happen at this point, and even then, as we've seen with Russia and Northern Africa quite a few times, revolutions have a tendency to just pave the way for the next lunatic to take power.

In USA, invasion isn't really possible, so it would have to be an incredibly violent and costly (in human lives) revolution, with a slim chance to actually change anything.

An invasion of Russia is probably possible, but it would require some insane inside help to make sure they don't just nuke everything when they realise they've lost anyway. A revolution probably wouldn't do much, because of the brainwashing problem.

Either or both of them dying couldn't hurt.

~~Soviet~~ Russian succession always takes a power struggle between rivals before things are consolidated.

Vance has the charisma of a turnip.

[–] Draegur@lemm.ee 2 points 5 days ago

hey now that's just mean

turnips don't deserve such disrespect ;-;

I can't speak for Putin, but MAGA is a cult of personality. Once HitlerPig assumes room temperature, there will be a vicious battle for leadership, and at least half of the MAGA Morons will drop out without their divine leader to follow. Its very likely they will pivot to making him a religious figure.

The traditional GOP will try to recapture their hegemony over the party, and the Sociopathic Oligarchs will wage a war to keep and expand their influence. They will all try to float a new leader, and we can expect HitlerPig Jr to make a big attempt, but he'll be recieved the same way as Frank Sinatra Jr - with a yawn. Anyone else will be accepted even less.

I hope the battle for control of the party will result in internecine violence, so the Dems can regain power, and use the crimes and violence of the MAGAs to crush them, and purge them from government and society.

Any micro organism inside of them has my support.

By the time you're 70/80 years old your thymus has basically just turned into fat cells and can no longer create new T-cells for your immune system. We just need the right microbe to enter.

can putin take trump with him

[–] bradorsomething@ttrpg.network 31 points 6 days ago

In Egypt, leaders were buried with their property…

[–] Enzy@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago

Trump was probably the one who contaminated him

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 6 days ago

Hooo! If this is true Russia's in for it. He's been very effective at eliminating any possible successors. Hopefully the nukes stay safe.

Oh cool everybody loves a Russian power vacuum

One thing is sure. Zelenskyy will outlive him.

Please stop, I can only get so happy...

Between now and that party day there is still a lot of time for Putin to fuck things over. Be ready.

Also, when Putin dies, who will take over? I can guarantee you that Russia won't be a human loving democracy after he's gone, it'll just be the next dictator who takes over. Putin will make sure his legacy is perfect (because for guys like him, it's all about bullshit like dynasty and legacy) and then place the next Putin but probably worse.

Also, please take trump and the US government with you?

I'm sure the next soulless monster is lined up to take control of the cesspool.

Never know what the future will hold

[–] stickly@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

If CK2 taught me one thing, it's that claim wars automatically end when the claimant dies. As soon as putin keels over all the red flagged armies in Ukraine will go neutral and have to walk back home.
