  1. They go mu not moo, so I expect so. I'm serious though, too many guys who get fooled by Trump and they cry both sides were equally bad. There is a Latin name for that fallacy, leave you to find it.

    Putin backs term limit freeze allowing him to stay in office

    MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin revealed his tightly guarded political plans Tuesday and supported a constitutional amendment that would allow him to seek reelection in 2024 by restarting the term count.

    The constitutional change would pave the way for the 67-year-old Putin to stay in office until 2036, if he desires.

    A lawmaker who is revered in Russia as the first woman to fly in space proposed either scrapping Russia’s two-term limit for presidents or stopping the clock so the law wouldn’t apply to Putin’s time in office.

    The Russian leader and the lower house of parliament quickly endorsed the proposal put forward by 83-year-old former Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova. Kremlin critics denounced the move as cynical manipulation and called for protests.

    If you did that, Russia would probably become a first world country in the next decade and the US would rank right above Venezuela.

    Putin signs law allowing him 2 more terms as Russia's leader
    Putin has remained in power for more than two decades

    MOSCOW – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a law allowing him to potentially hold onto power until 2036, a move that formalizes constitutional changes endorsed in a vote last year.

    The July 1 constitutional vote included a provision that reset Putin's previous term limits, allowing him to run for president two more times. The change was rubber-stamped by the Kremlin-controlled legislature and the relevant law signed by Putin was posted Monday on an official portal of legal information.

    The 68-year-old Russian president, who has been in power for more than two decades — longer than any other Kremlin leader since Soviet dictator Josef Stalin — said he would decide later whether to run again in 2024 when his current six-year term ends.

    He has argued that resetting the term count was necessary to keep his lieutenants focused on their work instead of "darting their eyes in search for possible successors."

    The constitutional amendments also emphasized the primacy of Russian law over international norms, outlawed same-sex marriages and mentioned "a belief in God" as a core value. Nearly 78% of voters approved the constitutional amendments during the balloting that lasted for a week and concluded on July 1. Turnout was 68%.

    Following the vote, Russian lawmakers have methodically modified the national legislation, approving the relevant laws.
