The media have been saying he has been terminal ill for ages, I suppose his nerves are shredded have to be . He must be looking over his shoulder constantly.
I do suspect he will not live long enough to see his retirement out. Mostly cause of death will be a bullet in the back of the head.
Thing is who will replace him that is the worry? Hopefully it will be someone a lot more moderate and will offer the west an olive branch. I will not hold my breath though.
