Russia’s prime minister and its entire government resigned on Wednesday as part of sweeping constitutional changes that could see President Vladimir Putin extend his hold on power.
It actually will end up making him the only one in charge for as long as he wants.
In his annual state-of-the-nation speech, Putin said he favored changing the constitution to hand the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament, the power to choose Russia’s prime minister and other key positions. He would be the Prime Minister, of course.
There are a few other options, but they all end with him in charge of everything.
THE ENTIRE GOVERNMENT RESIGNED
Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, a longtime trusted ally of Putin’s, said on Wednesday that the government he heads was resigning to give the president room to carry out changes he wants to make to the constitution.
Putin has held power for almost twenty years and now it will be forever. He has either served as Prime Minister or President.
Without the changes, Putin would have been finished after his fourth and last presidential term in 2024.

I’m sure that a lot of the Democratic presidential candidates are secretly wishing that once they get into the oval office they would be able to do the same thing.
It’s not a secret anymore. See this:

After all Putin’s worshiped mentor are Stalinist ideologies to the core. The most dangerous megalomaniac on earth is this degenerate bully of a coward. His detractors had better flee for their very lives, time is short.… Read more »
Maybe. He reinstated the churches, there’s that. Watch and see is correct, opinions are not reality.
As if we in the US have any say. If the Russian people don’t have a problem with Putin, so be it. Hillary would have been worse if she was elected. And then there’s Bernie the the rancid ranting Marxist malcontent.We have our own screwball Dem-coms in congress and the Democrat Commie Pavlovian candidates who Putin would eat for breakfast… Read more »
