Putin’s Trying to Stay in Power until 2036

Guess who supports his ruling party’s idea to allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to run for leader in 2024? You guessed it; Putin himself.

Putin’s already served two sequential terms and is required to step down in 2024, but recent shakeups to the Russian government has allowed Putin’s party, United Russia, to reform the country’s constitution so he could continue to lead Russia.

Putin, who has dominated Russian politics for two decades, even has a United Russia lawyer proposing an amendment that would completely reset Putin’s number of terms to ZERO!
