What capitalism does to a motherfucker
He really should stop, wtf is gonna to Russia with the power vaccum after he dies. I do not want a western puppet (like Yeltsin) to take the reign.
If the KPRF had a modicum of courage they'd coup once Putin dies but seeing at they're cowards they'll probably just run against Putin-lite and lose after attaining about 5% of the vote share.
Frankly the PRC should annex Russia and install a communist party.
I don't think another Yeltsin is possible, Putin himself tried to join NATO and they just refused him and kept saber-rattling and escalating their aggression further. It's pretty clear by now that abandoning communism did not make the west accept them as partners.
You underestimate the depths of idiocy, depravity, corruption and compradorship those people are capable. Remember that entire world have flat out dozens of examples that being US friend is fatal and yet we had Ukraine, Georgia, Ukraine again and finally entire European Union purposefully fuck themselves over for their US masters, and this is only in last 20 years.
Same. Not gonna act like Putin is good, but I certainly can imagine worse if he croaks without a backup plan.
This is the most important election of our lifetime
Oh damn i was wrong, thought he would lib out.
this is libbing out isn't it? riding power into the grave like american senators
It is unconstitutional, so it is not libbing out. Russian ruling class (or maybe just putin) likes to do "this is against the law how dare you" in international politics a lot
So this is against Russian term limits?
Think so 
it's legal in a technical way because when Putin rewrote the constitution it also resetted his term limits
Oh really? Ty. Some big brain shit instead of just abolishing term limits
I thought they were gonna pull the ol' Medvedev Switcheroo again.
