Director Stone said that Putin had already had cancer/Showtime
American director Oliver Stone, known for his support of Putin, said that he knows about this. He assured that Putin allegedly had already been ill with cancer.
Putin had cancer and I think he beat it, but he was still isolated during the coronavirus. Perhaps he lost touch with people, the director said.
At the same time, Stone noted that he could not say anything for sure, because he did not know.
Lost contact with people
Stone justifies Putin, saying that due to a long time in self-isolation, he could lose contact with people.
On the air of an American TV channel, a Putinist director was asked why the Russian dictator dared to invade Ukraine. He blamed intelligence for everything. Allegedly, agents may have provided Putin with incorrect information.
“Perhaps he was not well informed about the degree of cooperation that the Russians living in Ukraine could provide. This could be one of the factors that he incorrectly assessed the consequences of the war,” Stone muses.
Why Stone's statements are propaganda
- Journalist and politician Sergei Leshchenko never tires of debunking and explaining to Ukrainians what the myths of Russian propaganda are. Our people must distinguish the truth from lies, because the information war is also being waged. Leshchenko also drew attention to Stone's statements.
- According to Leshchenko, director Stone is a supporter of conspiracy theories. In addition, he actively helps the Kremlin to spread Russian propaganda. This plays into the hands of the Russians, because this is how they can justify their actions and show that the international community supports them.
- Stone spreads Russian nonsense that Ukraine is part of the so-called American plan and was a neutral state until 2014 . And then Russia became her enemy. He also dubbed the Ukrainian authorities a regime, in the best traditions of Russian narratives.
- At the same time, Stone is not the only one who talks about Putin's illness. The chief intelligence officer of Ukraine, Kirill Budanov, also spoke about it. This is also known in Russian circles. For example, such conversations were conducted by an oligarch close to Putin.
