Case Slobodan Milosevic: Instrumental in fall of Yugoslavia, had strong ties with foreign intelligence agencies. When he finished his job, he was taken care of.

He actually does. Putins intentions, when it comes to his country are quite noble. In some ways the man is a statesman. Which is pretty good considering that Russias entire leadership for decades, from top to bottom consisted only of people who just endlessly stole from their own country. The big issue with Putin is however, that quite simply hes been a leader for too long now. He is exactly the kind of leader to properly pull a country like Russia out of the complete shitter. However, now that it is out of the shitter, Russia has reached the next stage, where it needs a bit of a different approach to "cleaning house" and fist waving. And Putin absolutely sucks at that.
Merkel was longer. Btw when u find a good leader u won't change it for shit one, because its stupid. I just hope that Putin and his group, have someone to replace him with when the time comes. Russia is always suffered in times between great leaders.
This is more than true. Whoever after Putin is going to be president, it is quite possible, he will be working in Putins shadow and if he turns out to be a retard, he will probably burn most of the planet to the ground. Putin is technically a leader who has gotten fame for waving his fists at everything and increasing the size of Russian territory. Its quite possible the next president might try to desperately do the same or even beat that to prove that he is a good leader and get his name in the history books. He might try to prove himself so hard that he will start more pointless wars with countries Russia probably should not fuck with, to the brink of actual nuclear war. Now, that, is a scary thought.
