Ah, yes, the new course hasn’t been firmly determined yet...though the guy holding all the levers of real power for over 10 years is an ex-KGB general. “Ex-KGB” meaning about the same as “Ex-mafioso” - i.e. there is not such thing. Oh, and the guy is in his early 60s and works out, so he’ll be around for another 20 years or more.
Nah, the course isn’t set...any more than the Earth revolves around the Sun.
Well, you are partially correct. The other part of the equation is the economy. The economic course has not gelled yet.

Is it that hard, have you not been there long enough to claim “I’m a Texan” : )
