Rumors are becoming real about the  health of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin .  It is now confirmed that he has stomach cancer, and will be operated on later this month.  There is also conjecture he is beginning to suffer from Parkinson's: Here is a  video showing signs  of this ailment.  Worse, there are  rumors  of schizoaffective disorder, schizophrenia, hallucinations and dementia. Putin will turn 70 in October.  He has now been running Russia for 20 years.  He  was with Boris Yeltsin  at the end of 1999 who had unexpectedly resigned.  The  Soviet Union had already collapsed in 1991 . Much of the above could well be inflated.  Time will tell.  I'll keep this short today and end with a job that has to be more challenging than Putin's. -
