    Well....is this the beginning of the end for the Kremlin dwarfstanian....let's hope so. Seems many vatniks are protesting more and more, standard of living in the crapper, raised pension age, total impunity of law enforcement and govt officials, expensive wars/invasions. Hopefully the average Moskalis can eventually throw out the bum, and some other level headed (if one such exists in Moskolia) president comes to office.

    Russian opposition is not about communism - it’s about rights and freedoms.
    It’s highly unlikely for Russia to have another communism revolution.

    He will never go easily and many Russians will die at his hand on the way out.

    A "revolution" is possible in Muscovia.....I can't see it happening soon....like a couple others said here....can't see him going anywhere, many will die if he's pushed out.

    If anything he dies in office at around 90ish....or those few oligarchs around him with the big$$$$ and who basically run the place, start to abandon him, and he ends up like a rat in a hole, while everything else literally collapses around him.

    Putin "Burn out". You spend the majority of your posts obsessing over Putin and everything Russian ... are you finally starting to burn out ?

    The usual suspects don't like people picking on Putin. They get almost as upset about it as Trump does.

    What are you people going to do when Putin leaves office when his term is up? Admit you don't know what you're talking about? I doubt it.

    Protests about the local city council and people think that has anything to do with Putin. Jeeez, SMH

    I find it hilarious that Russians are big defenders of Russian speakers yet don’t mind Russian speakers being abused by brutal local regime when it happens in Russia.

    Oh, you mean when he switches places with the PM like he did last time, Medvedev?

    Yeah, Dmitry kept the bench warm for Putler when he returned.

    It's like meet the new boss.....but old boss still pulls the strings....LOL.

    Well, besides the fact that Putin’s United Russia gets to run local elections absolutely unopposed, Putin really doesn’t have a dog in this fight.
    Let’s just ignore that giant elephant in the room.

    Actually....not even close to burning out, sorry to disappoint you.

    I'm not "obsessed" with everything Russki....I visit/post other messages in other sections here....I save my vatnik bashing for this particular section....seeing as how most trolls hang out here, including yourself it seems.

    Calling you out for Trolling does not make me a troll :)

    Of course you do ... every second one of your posts is some slur against Russia/Russians - much of which has no basis in fact.

    I get that you are passionate about this issue but, that does not change the fact that you are trolling.

    Your dislike of Russia/Russian's does not bother me - I am not a fan either. My problem is fallacy in general and derailing of the thread when issues related to Russia come up - issues that relate to the US such as the war in Syria, Nuclear issues, missile defense, Russiagate - and so on.

    It is irritating when adults are trying to have a conversation about serious issues in a public space and some undisciplined child is running around screaming. Perhaps the above is not a perfect analogy but its close.

    On numerous occasions in threads involving one of the above serious issues - there will be those triggered by any discussion of Russia running around screaming "Bad Russia, Bad Russia" - without any regardless of the content of the discussion.

    Oh yes, you are. Every second thread of yours is bashing Russia.
    About the revolution, we'll see. But don't be surprised if there is one. :)

    Every second thread?!?! Wow, that's 50%ish.....considering that 90% of all posts in this section...let alone others are US/ West bashing. Kinda makes me in the minority.:))

    Well...I'm not holding my breath for a near future revolution in Muscovia....Putinka has a better chance of dying in office from a stroke or heart attack.....and I'm sure the vatniks will try to blame the US for that somehow...lol.

    "No basis or fact"....so you say, you just don't like, because much of it is true.

    Yeah...like I said I'm not trolling, that's your "opinion", so be it. You don't like it, don't read it, I've had you on ignore once , seems nothing has changed with you.

    Every second thread"? Gee, I'm in the minority, since I leave this section for my vatnik bashing. This is a forum dude....deal with it, you don't like my posts, don't read em....simple as that.

    I never call you out for trolling on the basis of legitimate commentary - regardless of whether or not I agree with it. It is when you engage in preposterous nonsense - such as equating some private Russian mercenaries to the Russian Military - and repeat this silliness over and over and over - that you are engaging in trolling.

    Do feel free to put me on ignore if you think that will help you avoid reality :)
