Vladimir Putin is hours away from seizing power until 2036

Vladimir Putin is hours away from seizing power until 2036 as he casts his ballot on final day of 'rigged' vote on the future of constitution

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ower-2036.html

"Vladimir Putin is heading for victory in a referendum that could extend his rule until 2036 as Russia enters its final day of voting today.

The Kremlin strongman would normally reach his term limit in 2024, but voters are set to back a plan to reset his tally to zero and allow him to run for two more terms.

The package of constitutional changes would also increase Putin's powers to dissolve parliament and expand his influence over courts and prosecutors. ...."

Well, we called this one a long time ago. He was never planning on just riding off into the sun set.

Agreed - Such a surprise - who knew...
KGB strongman takes power - consolidates power - retains power
-We've all seen the movie.


In other news, scientists predict that later this evening the sun will appear to set in the west.
