Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: swl on December 29, 2014, 03:59:09 PM What do you expect to happen in Russia within two years? Coup? Revolution? I think he will finish his term.
Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: Blue3 on December 29, 2014, 07:49:49 PM His term ends in 2018, right? But then he can run for another consecutive term.

Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: politicus on January 01, 2015, 12:56:14 PM He's going to be in power till he's dead. Likely true, but that doesn't tell us much about the time frame. Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: TDAS04 on January 01, 2015, 01:06:38 PM Most likely.

Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: MATTROSE94 on January 09, 2015, 12:18:38 PM I can see Putin remaining in power in some form or another until the 2030s or even the 2040s. This is way off topic, but why didn't Putin just simply invade and take over all of Ukraine yet?

Post by: Boston Bread on January 09, 2015, 05:39:12 PM Where is his nationalist opposition coming from? The military? Internal factions in UR? LDPR? Commies? Oligarchs?
Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: H. Ross Peron on January 10, 2015, 02:13:25 AM I can see Putin remaining in power in some form or another until the 2030s or even the 2040s. This is way off topic, but why didn't Putin just simply invade and take over all of Ukraine yet? Because Putin doesn't want to start World War 3. Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: IrisBloom on January 12, 2015, 08:07:17 AM Most likely - yes, he will.
His term is not over till 2018, and there are no signs that anyhting would change the situation. Of course, if you don't think that Western sanctions or something even more brutal would destabilize the situation in Russia and the mobs of agreesive youngsters would overthrow him (Ukrainian scenario which is very doubtful).

Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: Beezer on August 30, 2015, 02:24:56 PM As long as he stays in good health, I don't see any reason why he shouldn't stay in office.

Post by: ingemann on August 30, 2015, 03:08:25 PM I can see Putin remaining in power in some form or another until the 2030s or even the 2040s. This is way off topic, but why didn't Putin just simply invade and take over all of Ukraine yet? Likely because he can't. Yes he could likely overrun the Ukraine, but it's more complex than that, it's believed the war have cost 2000 Russian soldiers. That's a significant loss for a such limited intervention in a area dominated by pro-Russians with a reformed and modernised army against a broke country with 1/3 of Russia's population with a army 30 years out of date. A full invasion would cost significant losses, maybe enough to risk a revolt at home, the sanctions would become much uglier, and Ukraine would likely begin to become supported fully by the west with weapon and money. Title: Re: Will Vladimir PUtin still be in power TWO years from now..... Post by: Crumpets on September 02, 2015, 12:28:17 PM There are three things that could take out Putin:
1) An Orange Revolution/Euromaidan-style protest campaign led by liberal pro-Westerners (not gonna happen) 2) A challenge from the right by diehard ex-Soviets thinking that Putin "lost" them Ukraine, Georgia, Belarus, and maybe even some other places. (Possible, but unlikely) 3) A challenge within his own party/inner circle by disgruntled oligarchs who see Putin as damaging their bottom line with his shenanigans, yet who are generally sympathetic to his causes. In this scenario, either United Russia splits, or rallies around another candidate who can bring stability. (This is the most likely scenario in my mind) However, none of these will likely play out within two years, so I vote yes. |
