A global crisis plays a convenient role in the Russian president’s scheme to keep his job.

[mroceans]

Putin’s answer to all Russian problems: More Putin

[gertmoelders]

Lmfao y’all acting like he wasn’t gonna do this anyway, the coronavirus has nothing to do with it

[Gracchi]

He didn't need this, was doing it anyway.

[mrpyromaniac]

I mean he was going to stay in power regardless of this virus or not this is just a added benefit to him

[dante]

He doesn’t need a reason to stay in power he damn near owns that country smh😂🤦🏾‍♂️

[Richman]

*Putin got a problem: "Constitution will stop me"*
*Putin got a solution: "Constitution will be stoped"*

[hysterikglamor]

His solution? Change the constitution 😂 this man is crazy fam

[Duffyyy]

"Because that's how its always been"


LOGIC

[AgentPaul]

titel is misleading, this would have happend anyway. tying this to the coronavirus is bad journalism.

[wazzupidaug]

Misleading title, he was planning to do this before the pandemic

[cameronf]

“The Tsar has always ruled for life.”
“Why?”
“Because it’s always been like that.”

Last Tsar/Czar was also shot to shreds with his family in the basement of some normal house before you were even born too, but alright.

[Ezm]

Just like russias history goes... "And then it got worse"

[BAP]

In Soviet Russia, you don’t remove putin, Putin removes you.

[ege]

"Not 1 single member opposed him"

[_NikhilKapoor]

Instead of Focusing on Russia Focus on Your Own NYC. The Situation is Worse there.

[hdidenkov]

If the majority of people want him, who are u to question it. Unlike democracy here in US, where voice of the people worth nothing.

[namdelovoi]

Some fresh ideas for your next episodes: “Vlad Putin and JFK assassination”, “Putin’s role in WW2”, “Putin elected the president of....(put country name of your choice)”, “Putin ordered Ramses 1 murder”, “Putin screwed up our health system”, “My wife is ugly and I see Putin’s hand in it”.

[Mostafaabobakr]

Oh wait,
It's Putin who send help to Italy NOT THE REPORTER'S DEMOCRACY ASS

[MarkHenstridge]

If it walks like a duck quacks like a duck then its a duck (dictatorship)
