Russian President Dmitry Medvedev could resign from his post in 2009 to pave the way for Vladimir Putin to return to the Kremlin, Vedomosti newspaper reported on Thursday, citing an unidentified source close to the Kremlin.
Medvedev Wednesday proposed increasing the presidential term to six years from four years, a step the newspaper said was part of a plan drawn up by Vladislav Surkov, who serves as Medvedev's first deputy chief of staff.
Under the plan, Medvedev could implement changes to the constitution and unpopular social reforms "so that Putin could return to the Kremlin for a longer period," the newspaper said.
"Under this scenario Medvedev could resign early citing changes to the constitution and then presidential elections could take place in 2009," the newspaper said, citing the unidentified source close to the Kremlin.
The paper said Putin, who is currently prime minister, could then rule for two six year terms, so from 2009 to 2021.
Not only is this an obvious power grab by a thug would-be dictator in a country that has thousands of nuclear weapons, this also fits in perfectly with the prediction of a Russian-Iranian-Arabic war against Israel put forth by Joel Rosenberg. For a Russian Czar (Putin) to have another 12 years to work his will on Russia and the surrounding area would be an obvious first move in controlling the staging areas for an attack on Israel.
Pay attention...
There's my two cents.
