What exactly does this mean...

[Tortuga]

Putin didn't fire the government, they resigned. They didn't resign because they were angry, they resigned to support Putin's plan to shift the Presidential power to the Prime Minister. Putin plans to be the Prime Minister after his Presidency is over and he wants to have more power than the next president. 

 

So, things will not get better in Russia when Putins Presidential term is over...

It means that Putin is preparing to stay in power legally after 2024 when his two consecutive terms in office end. These constitutional changes have been under speculation for many years and finally he has decided to implement them. Putin is effectively turning Russia into a parliamentary system like in the UK or Germany where prime minister can stay in power for unlimited terms as long as his party wins elections. 

 

Personally I think without Putin Russia would not be a king of the north. There is no other guy in Russia who is as tough and crafty as him.

According to Reuters news service major sweeping changes are currently underway in The Russian government. Including changes to their constitution.  What is the KOTN up to now?

In Russia, as in most countries, the constitution doesn't allow a person to be president for life. Their rule is limited to 8 years and after that they can no longer present themselves to presidential elections.

 

But Putin doesn't want to leave the power, so he's using a trick instead. The constitution doesn't put such a limit on the prime minister. So Putin wants to take all the power from the president and give it to the prime minister. That way he can be chosen as prime minister and keep on ruling Russia.

 

In order to make that change into the constitution, a requirement is that the whole government resigns. So they are resigning. In practice, it just means that nothing will change in Russia since Putin will go on being the man in power.

In power indefinitely?  Sounds more like he's setting himself up to be KING.

Hmmm...King of the North...literally.

He has been a "tsar" for more than a decade now. At least that is how many view him because of his massive powers. He can literally have an apartment block full of people blown up or steal 1 trillion dollars from the government and get away with it. Nobody can do anything about it. He is above the law. 

 

He is the ultimate villain ideally suited for the role of the king of the north. 

 

There are quite a few reports about "Putin the tsar" online. Just google it. There is even a documentary of the same name. 

 

In comparison, Trump is just a little innocent kid playing in a sand pit.

Just like any other world leader.  They all command secret police and military and means of eliminating anyone they want without getting caught.

Can Trump or Johnson kill a crowd of their own citizens for no reason and get away it ? Doubt it. Not because they cannot do it, but because there is the rule of law and checks in place. 

 

Russia has not seen a leader like Putin since Stalin, according to many historians, analysts etc.

They have more capabilities than you would like to believe. The weirdest things go on in this world. You will see, in the New World, you will hear stories you won't believe. Or wouldn't believe, if you didn't know that lying is no longer a thing.

The KoN is just another (Psalm 94:20) "throne of corruption... framing trouble in the name of the law".

Yeah... please don't think it's all peaches and roses here, brother. We've had/still have concentration camps with people who are 'terrorist suspects' being abused, raped, tortured, and murdered. Anything can be done outside of the law and constitution under the pretense of 'national security'.

This system is designed to keep the illegal or shady things that it does hidden. For example, whistleblowers are not protected. They can end up losing everything or fleeing, their family and friends are threatened, or they are made to 'disappear'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuiDuoRJkOY

Ugh, this is why I try not to avoid the news. Makes me sick.

Since Putin firing his government officials has nothing to do with Christian life and ministry, I've moved this to the news forum were it fits better.

In Putin's Russia its difficult to tell what is voluntary or what is mandated.  They are supposedly just rewriting the constitution so Putin can stay in power for ... well pretty much for life.... but who knows what's in the small print.   We have what they say to us the public and then we have what is planned behind closed doors and the two rarely match when it comes to politics.   Whatever the case one thing's for sure ... this is not looking good for the brothers in Russia.

Like Hitler, Putin will find that his "lifetime" term as Prime Minister, isn't a lifetime.  More like a morning mist that quickly disappears when the sun comes out. I say, let the man who wants all the power, all the control and all the impuity to do it - DO IT and come up against Jehovah.  That is what he deserves.

[Dages]

this will be a lifetime... short lifetime, not eternal lifetime.

I have just learnt that Putin has appointed a new prime minister. Many analysts believe that Putin will not run for president in 2024 when he will be 72 and will not become prime minister either. He is thinking of becoming the head of the state council, which will be given the main political powers in the country under the upcoming constitutional changes. The new post will enable him to control the president, the government and the parliament, turning him into a super tsar with even more powers that he has now. 

 

Something similar has happened in Kazakhstan where the long-time president, Nazarbayev, stepped down last year and now heads up the state council that controls everything from the shadows. The new Kazakh president is just a puppet who does all the bidding of Nazarbayev.

 

Incidentally, Nazarbayev is Putin's closest ally. 

 

Here is a BBC report with Russian experts' thoughts on Putin's plans:

Daniel (11:20) mentions that the KOTN will be broken but not by war and the replacement will be worse so maybe this is in step with that. Hmmmmm

Can you explain it a bit more please? 

 

It is interesting that one of the experts thinks that by creating this new system, Putin will "finish off" Russia.

I believe he wants to be 3 in one Czar, Lenin and Stalin for life.
