Putin signs law allowing him to serve 2 more terms as Russia's president - CBS News
As If anybody thinks this thug is ever leaving office alive.
Putin seems to think he still has important work yet to do. I personally think Putin is still very popular amoung the Russian people and can remain president for as long as he wishes.
^oh I don't think so BB. He no doubt has excellent security now and for life. Probably one of those folks who die in the middle of a lovely dream.
He's a sharp dude whether you care for his policies or not.
A true diplomat is a person who can tell you to go to hell in such a manner that you will be asking for directions.
I have an idea!
Instead of posting and responding to ideas why don't we simply carry on calling each other names.
Harry, you're a pretentious little prick.
Putin wants to retire. He was NOT president of Russia from 2008 to 2012. Dmitri medvedev was. And he governed very differently. He went along with the US on Iran sanctions and also did not vote against the Libya war at the UN
What did the US do for those favors ? They tried a color revolution inside Russia which became the 2012 Russia protests. Hillary personally bragged about how well those protests went and did not deny their involvement

IMO Dmitri Medvedev was a puppet.
Putin has made way too many enemies to give up the protection of his power.
IMO he represents the biggest danger to the Russian people. He is the ball and chain on the leg of Russian development. All of these Russian satellite states share with Russia , a history, common culture , and language. they have all the ingredients for a successful federation . except for the fear of the Putin Kleptocracy. The Russian government shows all the hallmarks of organized crime.
The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.
None of this is actually true but I understand why you think that being only exposed to the US media. Mikhail Gorbachev lives comfortably in Moscow to this day. He lost the Russian empire. Boris Yeltsin bankrupted Russia in 1998. He lived comfortably in Moscow too. Putin rebuilt the nation from the ground up. He will be fine.
The bigest tech start-up in all of Europe is Yandex. The 5th biggest search engine in the world. Russian company.
The most popular antivirus in all of Europe is Kasperski. A Russian company.
One of the top 3 Internet server companies in the world is Ngnx. A Russian company. Telegram is one of the biggest social media platforms in Europe. A Russian company.
Tell me one economic metric that makes you believe that Putin is holding up Russian development.
Gorbachev or Yeltsin are no Putin's, and if you think they are, then my friend you don't know Putin, or Gorbachev and Yeltsin for that mater.
The Metrix that Putin's behaviousre has made it unpalatable for peripherals to form a federation with Russia, thus making Russia weaker.
Yes. In our media , there's a big difference between Gorbachev and Yeltsin , and Putin. Gorby and Yeltsin presided over the weakening of Russia. From 1985 all the way to 1999. They tried to be friends with the US. Even Putin tried through his first term. But the US didn't want to be friends. Putin learned that the hard way but he did learn it. Now he is vilified for pushing back
Not in our media, but in reality.
Gorbachev was in power for 6 years, and Yeltsin for non LOL , the biggest danger opponents of Yeltsin had from him it was him falling on them when he was drunk.
How long has Putin be in power? What was his previous occupation? How many more that Gorbachev has he poisoned? How much more money does Putin have than Gorbachev? How did he make his money? I mean other than his wages in office. Should I go on or do we need to talk about all the plutocrats Putin has squeezed over the years who are looking forward to doing some squeezing back?

Our 'arry surely does not think what he is saying, it's just his demagogic way of posting. He surely has read the many Putin's speeches (there are so many on YT with English subtitles), besides the many interviews with e.g. Oliver Stone, and long hours with journos not only domestic, with thousands of comments under each and the majority bearing a non-Russian name.Originally Posted by russellsimpson

But it's quite possible that 'arry does not understand what's that all about, the dangerous Mr. Putin does not use the expletive rhetoric 'arry knows so well.
And there are zillions of view and zillions of likes, and just few dislikes by those who do not like to hear the truth.
BTW, just recently was announced (not sure whether it's true) that the dislikes will no longer be shown, as other big guys get so many, hence, not so nice to see it...
Per Moscow Times. Anti Kremlin newspaper
Putin Named Russia’s Hottest Man - The Moscow Times
Then you think exactly what 'they' want you to think- no surprises there. 'They' do not like him- but what have 'they' got to do with it?IMO he represents the biggest danger to the Russian people.
A summary look at Putin's buoyant domestic popularity levels over a long period of time, involving multiple Polls, tells a different story from the Russian perspective. And a quick look at the improvement in average living standards since Putin came to power, following the disastrous Yeltsin era, might help to explain why. Not to mention an almost decade long jump in average Russian life expectancy.
I suggest that if you want to check out how an Australian PM is doing you should ask some Australians. Russia, China, USA, UK etc all deserve the same courtesy.
Small point. Australia, the USA, the UK etc. do not forbid protests against unwanted leaders. They don't censor unpopular opinions in the news media - or even control all the media. They don't poison, beat, jail or kill those who oppose them. They don't rig elections. They don't cram the judiciary with lackies so that they can pass legislation that makes them immune to crime or being voted out.
Dictators do all of these things, Putin included.
Why do idiots like you always try and gloss over this behaviour of all dictators? Are you really that retarded?
Didn't 'arry forget a ?
Provocations Have A History Of Escalating Into War - PaulCraigRoberts.orgSo, the questions for Andrei Martyanov, The Saker, and for Putin and the Russian government is: How long does turning your other cheek work? Do you turn your other cheek so long as to allow your opponent to neutralize your advantage in a confrontation? Do you turn your other cheek so long that you lose the support of the patriotic population for your failure to defend the country’s honor? Do you turn your other cheek so long that you are eventually forced into war or submission? Do you turn your other cheek so long that the result is nuclear war?
I think that Martyanov and The Saker agree that my question is a valid one. Both emphazise in their highly informative writings that the court historians misrepresent wars in the interest of victors. Let’s give this a moment’s thought. Both Napoleon and Hitler stood at their apogee, their success unmitigated by any military defeat. Then they marched into Russia and were utterly destroyed. Why did they do this? They did it because their success had given them massive arogance and belief in their “exceptionalism,” the dangerous word that encapsulates Washington’s belief in its hegemony.
Care to do a comparison- how many people have been killed by Russia vs the USA during the Yeltsin era? I guess this calls for another childish cartoon!
Go hose down Mustafas camels 'arryboy. You are at least better at that than geopolitics.
