Topic: Do you think Putin will rule Russia for life? (Read 4519 times)

It will depend on his health, he is getting older. The big question is who will replace him 

In last 400-500 years I don't think that Russians ever had peaceful and democratic change of leadership.
Remember Russian imperial family in 1918?
Or Stalin and Lenin?
President Yeltsin?
He chose his successor Putin.
In Russia there is no real democratic tradition and standard so there is no chance that Putin will ever loose election in Russia and loose all political power.

The point isn't Trump. The point is that even Putin had to learn the things that make him a great leader. The second point is that once he is gone, will his successor be nearly as good? Stalin seemed to be a good leader. But his leadership cost at least 10s of thousands of CCCP citizens their lives. How do you judge a good leader?

I do not know much of Putin, his background or personality.  If you are a citizen of Russia then you might just be happy that you have a brave leader and if you want change do it with yourself first.  I guarantee you that he will not rule Russia for life as he will get old and soon dies.  I am sure that many aspiring leaders will like to go head to head with him on the next election if they are unhappy with how he handles Russia.

another decade maybe but not for life
people that don't like him wouldn't allow that

This narrative – regurgitated by the mainstream U.S. media – is that Russia's Vladimir Putin is actively working to subvert the U.S. presidential election.

Make no mistake that the Clinton campaign is intentionally attempting to draw the public's attention away from the Clinton/DNC's concerted effort to usurp the will of American voters and rigging the Democratic nomination in favor of Clinton.

In addition to the evidence contained in the WikiLeaks' DNC email release, the organization Election Justice USA, a non-partisan organization advocating for voters' rights and standing against election fraud and voter suppression in all forms, has released a damning report titled, Democracy Lost: A Report on the Fatally Flawed 2016 Democratic Primary. The report highlighted the following phenomena indicative of widespread vote rigging:

Targeted voter suppression

Registration tampering

Illegal voter purges

Exit polling discrepancies

Evidence for voting machine tampering

The security (or lack thereof) of various voting machine type

Interestingly, Russian President Vladimir Putin preemptively addressed allegations of Russian interference in U.S. elections, and in turn, questioned the legitimacy of U.S. democracy during a panel discussion at the St Petersburg Economic Forum.

Putin was joined onstage by scholar, author and CNN foreign affairs correspondent, Fareed Zakaria, as well as Kazakhstan President, Nursultan Nazarbayev and by 41-year-old Italian Prime Minister, Matteo Renzi.

CNN's Zakaria is a renowned leftist-globalist, as well as a member of the Council of Foreign Relations, and is known for his work as author of, 'The Post-American World.' He is considered gifted minded in many political circles but is the virtual embodiment of Western globalism underpinned by U.S. hegemonic imperialism.

After seeing Putin's response to Zakaria's disingenuous question it becomes crystal clear why U.S. mainstream media doesn't often show Putin. His penchant for direct, honest, rational discourse clearly refutes the constant droning on by paid corporate media talking heads attempting to paint Putin as some aggressive and irrational nut. Hillary has gone so far as to equate Putin with Adolf Hitler, which flies in the face of reality. In fact, Putin strikes directly at the heart of the American government's legitimacy to rule in his response to Zakaria's question.

You are wrong, Trump, has absolutely nothing to do with this situation. The fact that Vladimir Putin began to send everyone who is trying to impose its point of view in recent years. Vladimir Putin, began to think less about how his actions look more. In general, V.V.P, put a large bolt on all those who do not like something. And he controls Russia as schetaet fit. It acts as a better for Russia and the Russian people.

'Cause he's watching Trump in the news.    

In part you are right, that if someone did not say, VV Putin, create one much good for Russia and the Russian people. And Vladimir Putin, is sometimes mistaken. But recently, Vladimir Putin becomes wiser and running the country, almost without mistakes.

That is exactly the reason why Americans and other anti-Russians are so pissed off about Putin. They want someone similar to Boris Yeltsin, who allowed the oligarchs to loot the Russian national wealth. Putin banished most of the oligarchs, and many of them are now living in Western cities such as London and Zurich.

If you are a citizen of Russia then you might just be happy that you have a brave leader
