Quote:We’ve reported extensively on President Biden’s health woes and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s rumored cancer. Add another major world leader to the list of the afflicted, because several media outlets claim Chinese President Xi Jinping, 68, is suffering from a brain aneurysm. Making his life more difficult are rumors of a possible coup by rivals tired of the nation’s uber-strict, economy-killing COVID lockdowns.

According to New Delhi-based ANI news service, Xi decided against surgery, instead choosing treatment involving traditional Chinese medicines that soften the blood vessels and shrink aneurysms. He was reportedly hospitalized at the end of 2021.

Signs of trouble appeared at far back as 2019, when Xi’s gait was observed to be “unusual with a noticeable limp,” and he reportedly had to have help sitting down.

The International Business Times reports:

Last October, during a speech in Shenzhen to promote China’s first special economic zone, Xi was “seen and heard” coughing a lot. Though the Chinese media was tight-lipped about his health, critics said Xi had “frequently paused to drink water and coughed repeatedly” during the 50-minute speech.

The chatter only grew louder when the COVID hit because he avoided meeting world leaders from the beginning of the pandemic until the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Worse still for the strongman, China’s President since 2013, rumors of an overthrow are circulating, as China has imposed some of the strictest COVID measures in the world. From The Sun:

Instead of learning to live with the virus, the totalitarian regime’s response to the pandemic is to instead aim to have zero cases with tightly shut borders, mass testing and sweeping quarantines.

China’s brutal strategy sees extreme restrictions imposed on towns and cities with just a handful of infections, with entire buildings sealed off even if only one case has been recorded as those who test positive are shipped off to horror quarantine camps.

Sounding the alarm is Premier Li Keqiang, who called out China’s “complicated and grave” employment situation caused by the lockdown measures. It’s rare to see a Chinese official at odds with Winnie the Pooh, so tongues are wagging. Roger Garside, former diplomat and author of China Coup: The Great Leap to Freedom, said Xi will be ousted by internal rivals with the winner coming from “within the top ranks” of the Communist Party.

What happens if one of these three leaders becomes incapacitated by illness, or is overthrown in a coup? For Vlad, fingers are pointing at administration official Dmitry Kovalev, sure to be as humorless as his predecessor; for Xi, it would be some similarly faceless technocrat (or a general, if there’s a coup); for Joe, it would Kamala, almost as witless as POTUS himself.

This doesn’t take into account elections, of course, which could also alter the landscape. Xi next faces the National People’s Congress in November 2022, while Joe Biden, if he runs, faces an uphill prospect in 2024. Putin faces Russian voters in 2024, but if he’s still around, expect it to be a mere formality.

With three of our major world leaders battling age and illness, the world could be a very different place in the new few years.

Great. Top 3 nuclear powers with "leaders" that are super feeble. What could go wrong?

Where's an alien invasion or an asteroid when you need one.

No big deal. Our guy has had two and look how good things are going here.

All 3 out of the way would be an improvement. Well maybe not Biden. We wouldn't notice any change. Don't think they would let Kamala make any decisions either.

Why focus on their ailments? They've raised my anxiety level and if I suffer a physical manifestation it would be hemorrhoids because together these crooks and loons are the biggest pain in the ass I've ever suffered!

That said,

How does one sleep restfully in bed,
when the dire news of the day replays in your head.

With dollars for oil refused in exchange
and rubles demanded within the Euro range.

When China releases another new strain
while Xi leads a power with a bomb in his brain.

And Putin wages war outside and within
without fear and risking little to win.

Perhaps I could still find some hope
if not being led by a consummate dope.

What is our chance of a global depression?
About as sure as no Epstein confession!

So here we are stuck with the truth
we are lead by the sick and uncouth

And should all three suddenly drop dead
we are left with a bimbo who only gives head.

To all of you I can only say
drop to your knees and fervently pray!

The chaos is here with no deliverance in sight
and the woke proclaim our help can't be white!

So as we debate the bullshite of race.
The whole stupid world falls flat on its face.

Maybe the new leader could be an old ex
but that won't work unless he changes his sex.

So we are stuck in this mess with the sick and the lewd
fighting over housing, protein, water and crude.

Only until we have all had enough
and decided its way past time to play rough!

When the elite finally cower in fear
the end of this nightmare will finally be here.
