Rumors on Russia

   Putin, it is said, has cancer. And, according to reports, he will be ousted, not because he has cancer, but for other reasons. Who's behind the ouster effort? Like usual, it's the military.
   It is also said that if Putin were to retire, or whatever, he would be replaced by someone even more diabolical. And, it is said that Russia will disintergrade, cease to exist. One wonders what means, as another government would simply come to power and Russia would still be there.
