Not sure what you mean by that. Putin doesn't run Russia single handedly like he's playing civ or something. Absolutely incredible that anybody could think that the entire Russian government hinges on Putin.

You know exactly what I mean by that. Who runs Russia after he dies and how will that person be selected? Until you can answer that question, your claims of Russia's "stability" will remain ridiculous.

No, I really have no clue what you mean by that because you're implying Putin's role is far larger than it actually is. When he steps down, it's most likely that it's going to be Medvedev that replaces him. You evidently have absolutely no clue about Russian politics.

No, I really have no clue what you mean by that because you’re implying Putin’s role is far larger than it actually is.

I'm asking a very simple question. Were there words in there that you didn't understand?

When he steps down, it’s most likely that it’s going to be Medvedev that replaces him.

This already happened. Putin was still in charge, and came back when the pretense of not being in charge was no longer necessary. What reason is there to believe Medvedev is next in line and that everyone else will just go with that when Putin is dead? Yes I'm saying dead because dictators don't have retirement plans lol.

You evidently have absolutely no clue about Russian politics.

Ah yes, the last refuge of the loser who can't answer a simple question. You're dancing around the question because your ridiculous claim that Russia is "stable" falls apart immediately when the fact that this question has no clear answer is considered. It's your ridiculous opinion dude. You can change it for free.

I've given you a simple answer. Were there words in there that you didn’t understand?

Not sure what point you're trying to make here. The fact that you think Russia is some sort of a dictatorship further highlights just how utterly clueless you are about it.

Ah yes, the last refuge of the loser who can’t answer a simple question.

You've made it abundantly clear that you are utterly clueless on Russia by claiming that it's a dictatorship and insinuating that Putin runs the government single handedly. Nobody is dancing around anything. That's just a straw man you're making based on your lack of understanding of the subject you're attempting to debate here. If you think that Russia is going to fall apart when Putin steps down then you're in for a really big surprise.
