Even the Russian legislators that are having 6 year term limit (extensions) forced down their throats by Vladimir Putin do not understand why, because Vladimir Putin already controls the government???
“Why do we have to do this today?”Viktor I. Ilyukhin, a Communist legislator, said during discussions Friday in the State Duma, the lower house of Parliament. “Why are we in such a hurry? A strict authoritarian regime has already been established in this country. There is already an unprecedented concentration of power in one person’s hands.”
Political opposition leaders have been harshly critical of the proposed change, which is almost assured of becoming law, but opposition parties have little presence in the Duma, and on Friday, the Communists were virtually the only dissenters.
In the end, the bill sailed through its first reading in the Duma, passing by a vote of 388 to 58.
Even if Putin is doing this to set himself up for a return to power as President, an office he controls indirectly through a puppet with the stage name and title of ‘President’.
Is Putin just making crazy demands to show that he can make them like a rock star gone crazy in a hotel or a dictator in North Korea demanding customized equestrian riding apparel fashioned into a rotund sized uniform like get up that would fit right in on the Star Ship Enterprise???
