Medvedev: Putin Should Be Russian Prime Minister

MOSCOW — Dmitry Medvedev, whose candidacy for Russian leader has the endorsement of President Vladimir Putin, called on Tuesday for Putin to become prime minister after the March 2 election.
Putin is prohibited by law for running for a third consecutive term, but clearly wants to retain a powerful role once he steps down. Medvedev’s proposal would provide such a role, especially if the constitution were amended to increase the prime minister’s powers — which could be done readily with the new parliament dominated by pro-Putin politicians.
Medvedev has spent most of his career as a loyal comrade of Putin.
“Having expressed my readiness to run for president of Russia, I appeal to (Putin) with a request to give his principal agreement to head the Russian government after the election of the new president of our country,” Medvedev said in televised address a day after Putin endorsed his candidacy.
Gee, how did we know that would happen in Russia? So they just change Putin’s title to Prime Minister and give the Prime Minister the power that the President had and Putin/Gog remains in power in Russia until he dies. So what has changed in Russia? Which proves that you can take the leader out of the country during a depression but you can’t take a people who love authoritarian rule out of the nation.

Well, predicting the future has never been so easy. Especially considering the fact that even regimes supposed to be ‘democratic’ couldn’t care less about terms and elections anymore. As long as the people have no problem with their conduct or as long as they simply remains passive, the strongest politicians will assume the power and remain in that position. And if they aren’t fit for the job anymore, some family member or powerful friend will replace them.
Any form of government revolves around power in the end, no matter whether it is called democracy or not.
Hopefully this will lead those conspiracists to rethink their fancy theories. The truth is the visible world is ugly enough in itself and most real ‘conspiracies’ are too visible to even be called ‘conspiracies.’
