Shit's getting real in Russia really fast....

Chakas · March 15, 2015, 11:32:41 AM

There are reports out now from several sources that Putin has been ousted in a secret coup. He hasn't been seen in more than a week and things are looking dim. Reading the articles about this was surreal. It's like reading about the plot of a movie. Here's a few of the articles:

Now my hopes of a modern Soviet Union will never come true.

I don't know what group of people you could be referring to other than yourself. Even if you don't care about Russia, a coup is pretty worth noting especially in a country like Russia

Who will bring Mother Russia to its former glory now?

After the end of World War 2, the world was split into two, east and west. This marked the beginning of the era called the Cold War.

I thought coups were how the Russians regularly held their elections.

There's a meeting tomorrow, so we'll see if he shows or not. If he does than cool, he went off the grid which is hard nowadays. If he doesn't and nobody in his government gives a statement then I'd assume the worse - dead.

If he has been ousted, we just have to hope that he's replaced by someone better rather than someone worse ._.

Hopefully based Medvedev gets some actual power.

Fuck Putin. Fucking scumbag.

No joke I'd probably laugh if somebody worse stepped in. Putin is the sort of guy who got shit done. And you can see it in him plain as day. This was somebody who could for the most part, walk their talk.

Compared to the majority of other world leaders out there, Putin was a guy who wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty.

So if somebody took him out, especially killed him, then it would be a telling sign that no, things won't be looking up just yet.

If by "get things done" you mean tank the Russian economy, sure.

I wasn't commenting on his leadership skills or direction.

I was commenting on the fact that he's a very up front, and personal sort of leader. He doesn't hide shit. He's not so much a politician as he is somebody who says, "Okay, factory workers giving shit. Shoot a few and get them back on the job."

You can see it his composure. He's cold.

Obviously, no, he's not making his country sunshine and rainbows. But he's trying to hold onto his power ruthlessly and he's not afraid to step on people to do so. He's an asshole.

But it's just a bit respectable when compared to other world leaders out there.

Obama's clogged in the shit house of congress.

Steven Harper just bends over.

What would Putin do in either of their shoes?

Probably shoot whoever was being a problem.

You mean how he fucked up the ruble and kept Russians poor and ignorant while funding terrorists and psycho heads of state.

TWO BIG THUMBS UP

You mean like how not even three comments up I just stated that I wasn't commenting so much on his leadership or direction skills but more on his transparency and "give no fucks" attitude? He's bold, and doesn't dance around in politics. Doesn't let red tape get in his way.

He's an asshole. Bad at managing his country. But what I mean by get shit done, is the fact he has drive and ambition. Just not the right head for things.

He's not a pushover like other world leaders. He's not all wired up in civilities and pleasantries. He's a barebones, down to business kind of person with no bullshit in between.

Like I said. He's an asshole. But just, ever so slightly admirable because compared to other world leaders out there, he's down to earth in a sense. He's plain.

No, he really isn't trasnparent, plain, or down to earth. He's a classist, racist, dictator who has his opponents killed and lies about.

Like I said. He's an asshole. I'm using the wrong terms on the go here. He's not a pushover like other people. Take a look at Steven Harper, the PM of Canada.

You probably haven't even heard his name. Primarily because all he does is bend over in the shadows.

How about Obama? Cockblocked by congress and warring parties.

Look at Putin. Objectors are dead. Out of the way.

Putin isn't intelligent. And he's a shitty leader. But he's ambitious. It's a shame, that all the ambitious people out there are assholes in the sense that they don't ever seem to have a solid head on them.

I want you to imagine what could be done if the states had somebody like Putin in charge. In only, the sense that Putin doesn't fuck around. Now toss in somebody who does care about the country, and who is intelligent enough to make the right calls and decisions, and throw in Putin's ruthless ambition and drive to not let anything stand in the way.

You'd technically get a dictator. But one who was doing everything for the right reasons and getting shit done.

A bit of an oxymoron. A good dictator. But for fuck's sake, with the way most things go politics wise these days it's rather obvious that it's all just shit circling the drain at this point.
