[lbo-talk] Putin's Russia

[Peter Lavelle]

I expect a good show when Putin visits W. Putin is hard as nails and  holds a lot of strong cards (energy). Putin is in no mood to compromise  with the US - why should he? Putin will leave office as an almost a  God-like figure among Russians. He will visit probably the most hated  living human being in history. Prediction: Putin will turn the tables  and lecture Bush and the US a bit. After which is popularity at home  will spike in the 90%s! 

  

  Agreed Chris, Putin has run his course. He is exhausted. Next will be  in a more retiring position (Gazprom?) where he will continue to direct  the "vision thing."

Actually it's good timing on Bush's part, given that
Putin will only be president for a short time longer.
All the comments about where Putin is taking the
country are going to be moot in a few months.

Putin looks EXHAUSTED. I think he's going to take a
long break.
