Oh crap, here comes another cold war. First the militaristic displays, now Putin as dictator.
-
Okay, I'm gonna ask the stupid questions.
How does one 'disolve' a Government? And what EXACTLY does that mean.
I believe we have a constitution here that prevents something like that from happening. If he is out in Spring and can't run again, why would he do this?
-
So he can stay in power. What this really means is that he kicks out the current people, appoints new ones to their positions, and stays president.
-
Search for parliamentary democracies.
-
Its all scripted. The world was a safer place with two enemy governments, than it is with religions. How do you chase the rats back into the sewers? Re-create the Cold War.

This is not good.:(

He's not a dictator, yet. This is not a case of taking over and being the govt., it's a parliamentary process. You really should have read the article instead of taking the sensational headline at face value.

Like it or not, the Russians love Putin. He may be unpopular in the West but the Russian People equate him to FDR for getting russia out of the crisis in the 1990s.
