While Putin’s move to possibly remain in power beyond 2024 strengthens his hand, we should not see him as an all-powerful leader, but rather as the Russian elite’s mediator, says Russia expert Tony Wood.

Why are Americans so obsessed with how long Putin has been in office? On the list of longest reigning non monarchs he's 16th. This list includes Angela Merkel of Germany, Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and Ueli Maurer of Switzerland.
Russia isn't starting wars all over the ME. Your politicians are selling arms to Saudi Arabia – the country where most of the 9/11 attackers were from!
If you're looking for corrupt politicians, look no further than your own. Left or Right. Wings on the same bird.
..oh..the way to insist on playing the headlines according to -western understanding.. -What this means, is that not only has he (P.U.T.I.N) set the possibilities to "elected" again..but to systematically rig, manipulate, and lie his way in to the Presidency all over again..time and again.
Come on now guys, that's what it means in EVERYDAY language terms..the dud managed to – fiddle the books again , this time in a a grander way than previously..because..(many things)..but, he knows he won't be able to ..hhrmmm.."retire to his summer cottage" if willing another Russian revolution.
So, nothing new on the Putin front as far as i'm concerned…i can see his map in the piepeline..clear as bell..
DEFINITELY a parasite clinging to power and no longer able to survive without it. Think of the blackmail power he'd have if he retires; no way his successor doesn't assassinate or prison-for-life him.
Putin has been a dictator since 31 December 1999. So its reaching 20 years. That sir is a definition of a dictator. He is Filthy RICH, CORRUPT, and VIOLENT, and disregards the value of human life.
Russia is under a Dictatorship- Mob-Rule. Putin is just the top Mafia Boss
LOVE and RESPECT for you Gregâ¤ï¸ðŸ‡ºðŸ‡¸âœŒï¸
Democracy is OVERRATED.
The US Should naturalise him and change their constitution to allow him to become president. They would benefit greatly form his leadership. A lot of countries would. However I'm sure Russia want him as their leader and are unwilling to give him away anyway.
He’s just a dictator that like to keep other dictators in place along side him like Assad puppet and bibi
In Soviet Russia Putin is the constitution,the judicial system,the health system,the sports system …..hell he's the even the embodiment of barechestednes
Hi Greg. If the Presidential term-limits cold be increased constitutionally, Mr Putin would have to want to seek re-election and be elected. The electorate values Mr Putin's leadership for the reasons noted here and because he has regained and maintained Russia's sovereignty. OPECs Saudi Arabia is suffering the most with oil price and supply, the US and the Russian Federation have hardy economies and energy independence (and both have gas exports). Russia has weathered sanctions through internal growth and restructuring, and it has forged a strategic alliance with China. Russia is Ok, and when it's people can elect another great leader, he will retire.
A bunch of slaves excusing their dictator to hang onto power through continued abuses and lies so he can run his stealing kleptocracy and steal more and more, such is his limitless greed and corruption, no wonder trump is his bitch
The Russians love Putin
Putin os trying to prepair a valid sucessor meanwhile he still has Stamina to correct any Fifth Column disguised enemy of Rusia development and nacionist project!
Putin is stability ðŸ‘ðŸ¼
Putin keeps the other Super Powers in check, good Mr Putin.
He is already 1000 years old..he needs to give it up..Old ass Dinosaur
I heard he has done A lot of good for his Country ?
Can't he declare himself president for life if their constitution is changed ?
He robbed his country wealth, so Putin wants to stay in power to keep his fortune. ðŸ˜
