“Every single politician, every pundit, they said ‘it’s one guy, and it’s Putin and he has to die’ and I thought he had cancer or he had Parkinson’s, he still hasn’t died yet of his own accord,” stated Curry.

In response, Rogan pointed out that it was probably the advanced medicines that were at the disposal of the Russian government that prevented Putin’s health from deteriorating.

“Well, he has a lot of money and when you have a lot of money and you have a lot of doctors, they can keep you going.” claimed the UFC commentator.

Although, in a way, going back to the original topic of how the media sets the tone among the public, Curry also condemned the entire world as “fake”.

“I don’t know if he’s really sick. We can probably establish that the world is fake, everything we thought is f***g fake. Pretty much of all it is a scam.” Curry said, indirectly pointing out how the media peddles news.

Although the Russian government has not released any official confirmation of the rumors surrounding Putin’s deteriorating health; there have been far too many unofficial sources pushing the news. Recently Kyrylo Budanov, Ukraine’s chief of defense intelligence, even claimed that Putin has been probably suffering from cancer. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky too, while addressing the World Economic Forum, cast doubts that Putin was even alive.

As Curry pointed out in his comments, there is no way to find out what’s real and what’s false. Although there might be traces of truth in the news about Putin’s health; Joe Rogan’s statement does hold true nonetheless. The fact that the Russian President has access to the best medicines and doctors must have surely aided him in continuing his war.
