Is Putin's New Title To Be 'Supreme Ruler'?

Russia's President Vladimir Putin submitted the amendments to the State Duma, Russia's lower house of parliament, on Monday, just days after presenting them in the annual state-of-the-nation address last week

Daily Mail: Kremlin confirms new title of SUPREME RULER for Vladimir Putin is being considered following his recent changes to Russia's constitution

* The title is one of several proposed by a new government commission
* It is seen as part of Putin bid to cling on to power after his presidency ends
* Kremlin played down significance claiming Putin 'has no view' on the new title

Vladimir Putin could become Russia's 'Supreme Ruler' when he steps down as president under proposed changes to the country's constitution, it emerged today.

The Kremlin confirmed that the new title was one of several proposals but played down its significance claiming Putin 'has no view' on it.

The proposal was put forward by a government commission looking into constitutional changes widely seen as a bid by Putin to 'rule for life' after his presidency ends in 2024.

Putin has already announced sweeping changes to the constitution that were passed by parliament earlier this month.

So Putin is dictator? And?

Would have thought he made moves 2 or 3 years ago. It didn't happen and so you think it won't. Not enough information on the state of the oligarchy and different factions.

Maybe Putin wasn't even sure what he was going to do. He might have gone back and forth several times depending on factional strength, the economy and approaching term limit.

I am not wrong about Obama being pissed. What do you think a Michelle Obama presidential run would be? It reminds me of a junta like in Argentina. First Eva Peron and then Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. What were Eva's and Cristina's qualifications exactly?

The Michelle Obama is even floated as a candidate is offensive. She has less qualifications than Hillary and Hillary is a carpetbagger (Like Mittens). Hillary was given her senate seat.

Why is floating the Michelle Obama's name even a thing?

"Joe Biden says he’d want Michelle Obama to be his running mate" - NY Post

Some people have opined that Michelle Obama is too lazy to run. That she has it made a a multi-multi-millionaire. ... Then I remember her fabulous Spanish vacation where she took up 2 whole floors of a hotel and I believe them.

... But Dynasties have their own priorities.

Tiberius was said to be unhappy with being summoned to Rome to become emperor from Greece. And then her grew to love the luxuries if not the responsibility.

Briar Rabbit said do anything but throw him in the briar patch.

People arre wndering for the past 3 months about a presiidential candiate decided at a convention.

- Bernie will not be selected.
- Biden usually does not know what state he is in.
- Lie-a-watha, the great minority Lie-beral, won't be chosen.
- Peter Buttigieg will not. He should not have been a candidate. The only reason he is is because of the way he has sex.
- Klobuchar?
