Putin might fall like Ø “might” get impeached.
I think I have a better chance with Kate Upton than Putin falling.
I hope you have a good curveball.
I have searched here and I have searched there and I have found not one single spec of evidence that would lead me to believe that Vladimir Putin is going to “fall” anytime soon.
Russia will always have ruthless strongmen eager to step into the top spot.
What all of you are ignoring is the probability that the area of Siberia will break away and form multiple Federations.
There won’t be anything Putin can do about it. The region is so vast, all of the cities so small in population (with the average around 40,000 souls apiece), that the present Russian forces will be unable to do anything to restrain the region.
You can bet that the PRC - China - is watching carefully what Putin does about the breakup into smaller Federations.
Putin with his 80% approval rating?
... and we created Obama. If he had not existed, we would have created him. Our culture is sick. That is the reason for our political problems, not personalities.
Winter is coming. How many buttons have to be pushed to cut off the energy supply to Europe?
This is an interesting article, thanks for posting it. I think, though, that if someone with Putin’s popularity in Russia also controls the mass media there, it’s not more than a simple trick to blame outside forces for any hardships being experienced due to this.
Only if he slips on the ice at the Kremlin in the winter.
Putin has something like an 87% approval rating in Russia, largely because of his action in Ukraine. If the sanctions work, and Ukraine wins against the Russian mercenaries, I would expect Putin to keep his people focused upon Ukraine by invading it. Then who knows what will happen after that. He will not go easily, as this article seems to think is possible.
I hope Putin, the EU and Obama all fall. Best case scenario if you ask me.
In other words, there is nothing to worry about - we'll just need to learn some new Russian names.
Almost like a certain person I can think of, closer to home, who has 97% of the media in his pocket, along with academia, entertainment, the bureaucracy, big business, most of the legislature, NGOs, social-service types, minorities, etc, etc..
Thank you.
Putin ain’t going anywhere and like the article says, if he falls, the next guy will be a copycat
I don't trust US pollsters. Why would I trust Russian pollsters.
Not that there isn't a majority of low information voters in Russia who like Putin.
Did somebody say Kate Upton???
