Thread: Putin May Come Back

Why does this suprise anyone? I was telling anybody with ears to listen with that he was taking a term off to satisfy Russian constitutional requirements and then coming back. He has a plan for Russia and he isnt going to rest till he sees it come to fruition. Im sure Medvedev understands that he is there for one term and then he needs to step down, it will be no shock to him at all.

I saw a quote in a news magazine that perfectly described Putin in regards to the Bush administration at the time (and im hoping BO does a better job). 'Where playing Checkers while he plays Chess'.

The article is about Putin giving the strongest hint in public that he is pondering a comeback.

did he ever leave???
he has a pupet as a president, but he is still in chargge

Putin and Medvedev at a press confrence -

Reporter - Mr.President, there's a string on your coat ..
Putin - Wait, thats my string )

It's not that he might, he will, otherwise they would have never changed the term limits to give him that oppertunity. This comes as no surprise and was well expected in the West.

Don't be so sure that Obama will see a second term. By then his politics will have taken center stage not the man and his charm.

I saw the thread title Put May Come Back and I was just wondering, when did he ever really leave?

Why do i get the impression that WAB is completelly underwhelmed by the Guardians story? I suppose the article was meant to shock or suprise people and where like 'meh, yawn, burp, so?'

Putin's the man. He's the showstopper. He's the main event. He's the legend. He's the icon. He's the rockstar. He's the mvp.

Putin is also publically questioning Medvedev's future, linking it to Russia's economy recovery, although as PM he is responsible for the economy.

Vladimir Putin questions Dmitry Medvedev's future

Vladimir Putin has sought to assert his authority as Russia’s most powerful, telling Dmitry Medvedev, his successor as president, that the economic downturn made his position vulnerable.

11 May [Telegraph] Mr Putin linked Mr Medvedev’s post to a recovery in the country’s battered economy and simultaneously delivered a belligerent message to Washington that dampened hopes for reconciliation between the Cold War rivals.

The Russian prime minister, who was constitutionally obliged to abandon the presidency last year, said: “Medvedev will look at his own political future, taking into account the interests of the country and the results of our joint work.

“Depending on the effectiveness of our work, myself and President Medvedev will take a decision about what we do in the future, both me and him.”

Mr Putin was speaking to Japanese reporters before an official visit to Tokyo. As prime minister, he is officially in charge of economic policy, but despite soaring unemployment, an economy predicted to shrink 6 per cent this year and a major corporate debt crisis, he signalled the president will be held accountable for Russia’s financial woes. ...

You just wanna oil up his nipples, buy him Victoria's Secret and play towel-spanking pursuit games in the locker room don't you? Admit it.
