Russian President Vladimir Putin might be suffering from either spine or pancreas cancer if such is held precise by some news plugs.

Contrary to his masculine looks from being an active man outdoor and a martial arts aficionado, rumors regarding his health have continued to swirl in various groups of media abroad over the past years.

The most recent rumor has spawned in page six of celebrity gossip section of the New York Post which suggests that the Russian president eagerness to invade Ukraine is reasoned by his sickness. It also took note of Putin's changes in his physical appearance.

A week ago, Putin aimed some criticism at US foreign policies that, from his point of view, place the whole world at risk and in global security alert. However, US president Barack Obama's wimpy reactions as defined by experts on national security to Russia's aggressive moves give Putin the confidence to do what he wishes to do. "Russian military provocations have increased so much over the seven months since Moscow annexed Crimea from Ukraine that Washington and its allies are scrambling defense assets on a nearly daily basis in response to air, sea and land incursions by Vladimir Putin's forces. Not only is Moscow continuing to foment unrest in Eastern Ukraine, US reaction times over Alaska and Japan's ability to scramble over its northern islands-all while haunting Sweden's navy and antagonizing Estonia's tiny national security force," according to the Washington Times.

Scribe Richard Johnson wrote on page six, "Others say Putin has three years to live and wants to leave a legacy of expanding the Russian borders just like Peter the Great or Stalin," in reference to the Russian president's conqueror's ambitions mentioned above.

On the rumors that Putin has cancer, Johnson also wrote that, "News outlets from Belarus to Poland have reported for months that the Russian strongman has cancer of the spinal cord. But my sources say it's pancreatic cancer, one of the most lethal forms of the disease. Putin is allegedly being treated by an elderly doctor from the old East Germany whom Putin met decades ago while serving in Dresden for the KGB. The doctor has been trying various treatments including steroid shots, which would explain Putin's puffy appearance...."

Crispin Black, an intelligence analyst and British military veteran whose writing was published for the UK website The Week early this year emphasized that with the given influence of the Russian's head of state on world stage, Putin's health condition is both locally and globally crucial.
