Putin Supports Term Limits

Putin supports term limits - for everyone else.

There is a catch, however: He only supports term limits for the next president. The Los Angeles Times reports:

'...Putin made it clear that the two-term limit he was endorsing "wouldn't be retroactive," meaning it wouldn't apply to him. '

And:

'If Putin seeks yet a fourth term, as expected, he would be leader of the Kremlin longer than anyone since dictator Josef Stalin.'

It is often said that Belarus is "Europe's last dictatorship." Unfortunately, that may no longer be the case.
