Why would Putin give the government more power? Why would the gov't resign? Sorry no link. I don't know how from my phone.

My gut tells me they're going backwards, just like our country right now. Pretty soon we may be back to the "bad old days" with Russia. JMHO.

So i saw another article that says Putin will probably switch over to being PM in 2024. Why? Why not just stay President?
And Trump must be so jealous of the ability to make the whole government resign.

I'm confused as well, but I am certain of one thing - the scheme is to keep as much power as possible in Putin's hands.
Yes, I'm sure The Impeached would LOVE to make the whole gov't resign.... His actions show an utter lack of respect for democracy and the Constitution.

I think he's rejiggering the government in order to continue to run it once he's no longer president. He should just go ahead and call himself the Great Leader for Life.

President Nicolae Ceaușescu and first lady Elena Ceaușescu tried that but in the end they had to stand against a wall.

Fired on by their own peeps who said they were changing things up but really just kept it all the same...

It's stuff like this that makes me realize people of the future are not going to see us as the enlightened, civilized folks I try to believe we are. To the future we're just a later day Dark Ages.
