Putin might fall like Ø “might” get impeached.
I think I have a better chance with Kate Upton than Putin falling.
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.
... 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.
“might fall”????
With an 85% approval rating?
Putin is getting desperate. As all of his policies turn to caca, there is a real risk that he will commit further acts of terrorism to punish the world for his failures.
It was Reagan, because it was he who killed the economy by deregulating American oil production, thereby dropping the price, and therefore killing Russian foreign exchange cash flow with which to supply its massive new navy.
I'm reading Blowing Up Russia by Alexander Litvinenko and Yuri Felshtinsky. Putin came to power on the 1999 Moscow apartment bombings blamed on Chechens. Litvinenko was murdered with Polonium for writing the book from inside knowledge as a Russian intelligence defector.Putin's last political rival was General Alexander Lebed who died in a helicopter crash in 2003.
Putin's popularity rating has soared of late.
He extracted concessions from Obama regarding European missile defense. Now Obama cuts U.S. defense spending and seeks to reduce the nuclear arsenal.
Russia and China are engaged in energy and arms agreements certain to solidify an anti-American stance.
Europe can be easily blackmailed by energy starvation--look at what Putin's idol Stalin did to Ukraine which Walter Duranty covered up.
Obama's poll numbers fall as his unconstitutional action increases.
Neither Putin nor Obama has any serious threat to power.
Stalin may have said, "(Deleted) the Pope; how many divisions does he have?"
Ukraine disarmed due to promises of Western protection.
We shall see.
Russians was HUMILIATED in the 1990s, when our Cowboy presidents bombed what was Yugoslavia with impunity. Those days are over under Putin and now Russia keeps its powder dry for Europe, playing the tit-for-tat game, until “technical issues” magically take out their natural gas pipelines just as winter is starting to bite. Just watch.
And as others have said, Putin is NOT going anywhere, not with 83% approval.
So we’re supposed to give him everything he wants to keep him from falling????
Tell him to take out some Obamacare insurance —
