c_v,
He'll be in charge for another term which is plenty of time for him to bring in fresh blood so that when he steps aside at the next election in six years time (due to his age), there won't be a vacuum as has happened when previous leaders left office. He's just won the biggest election success imaginable, with an approval rating from the Russian electorate that western leaders can only fantasise about. Like it or not, he's incredibly popular with most Russians. And don't give me that guff about Russian elections being rigged - they're no more rigged than U.S. elections. After all, the Russian people weren't frog marched to the polling stations and made to vote for Putin - they could easily have stayed away if they didn't want to vote for him.
No, I haven't. What I have noticed is western propaganda that continually pushes the false notion at every opportunity about all these alleged groups to bolster Russiaphobia in people who are too lazy or too thick to do their own research to discover what's really happening inside Russia. It's mainly just Navalny who, surprise surprise, was the CIA's inside man. Yep - he was bought and paid for by the U.S. Who knew? (Well, not you, obviously!)
Laughable.
As always, you make these ridiculous comments and don't support them with a shred of evidence because, of course, you haven't got any. In fact, the reverse is true, Putin is as secure in his post as he's ever been, riding high on a wave of popularity. And the simple reason for that is that the average Russian citizen is waaaaaaay better off today than they were before he came to power.
Russia made every attempt to "come in from the cold" and even applied to join NATO. The west rejected its application because that would have made NATO's very existence pointless. And then Russia - under Putin's leadership - started to get stronger, much stronger - and it became obvious to the the U.S. that it would never be a lapdog like the rest of Europe. So, they expanded NATO, bolstered anti Russian sentiment and fomented the conditions for this war, thinking that they could use Ukraine to take down Russia and get their hands on its immense natural resources. But their arrogance and hubris is proving to be their downfall: the whole plan has gone disastrously wrong and Russia has emerged stronger and more powerful than ever. And when Ukraine falls - which it surely will before the year end - and the rest of the world observes how Russia has pretty much single-handedly defeated not only Ukraine, but also the entire NATO alliance and the U.S. - who do you think they'll want to align themselves with? It's a no-brainer question c_v - even you can work this one out!
I say again c_V, stop spouting your nonsense or put your money where your mouth is and re-instate our bet. You can't have it both ways by keep churning out the same rubbish you clearly don't believe in whilst declining to take the bet. Either admit you've got it wrong and decline the bet or, if you insist on spewing out the false mainstream narrative - take the bet. One or the other - which is it to be?
Tim.
