Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview published on Friday that he hoped President Vladimir Putin would run in the March election for another term as Russian president, a move that would keep Putin in power until at least 2030.

Asked by the student television channel of Moscow State Institute for International Relations (MGIMO) what the next president after Putin should be like, Peskov said: "The same."

"Or different but the same," Peskov told MGIMO 360 with a smile.

"Putin has not yet announced his intention to run but I sincerely want to believe that he will do that, and I have no doubt that he will win the elections. I have no doubt that he will continue to be president."

Thanks. I generally sleep well at night. Although I find unchecked illegal immigration and the complete and utter corruption within Obama's permanent government a source of some anxiety and irritation. But put on a little Palestrina or Monteverdi and I'm out like a light.

Have a blessed day up there in totally not-corrupt or communist Trudeau-land.
