The West has been working overtime promoting Medvedev as the best choice for Russian president again. It has been many articles about how terrible for the world if Putin should be allowed to take over the presidency again. I myself expected this situation to fall this way but I still say (Article) that I see no reason for Putin to be president again. He has all the power that he could want and need. Obviously, Putin sees it differently…
I tried to watch Medvedev’s face while all this was going on and am not sure how much of this was really his decision or not? It does not matter, but it shows a whole another level and class of politician compared to the Western worlds politicians…
I wonder if Obama could do the same as Medvedev?
So let the heart attacks and strokes begin in the Western world over this announcement. Now you know why Britain showed up last week. To try to get back in good graces with Putin. Think it worked?
My curiosity is going to be watching how much power that Putin takes back from the Prime Minister? When I first came to Russia the Prime Minister was very powerless. Then Putin took the spot and it became a powerhouse of a position…
I really respect the Russian government. It is more open than the American government. Unlike a presidential election in America that costs a billion dollars. Russia just tells who will be president. It is no different than America, except America makes it out to be a game to try to placate the people. That money being spent on a presidential election in America is a waste…
When Sveta heard that Putin was running again. She said, “Good, That is just right!” Sveta has said before that Russians like a strong leader and they like a long term leader. That is the way it should be…
I was raised different but I see what she means and after doing a lot of studying on the USA system of presidency. I see some major revamping needed on the US process…
But this is about Russia and the ruling tandem. I really do not see anything changing much except now the West once again has to endure the man who takes what the Wests says “with a grain of salt!”…
Maybe that worries the West…
