Let’s Take a Vote: Dimachka Medvedev, Buffoon or Russia’s Post-Putin Future?
Yet another threat of nuking the Washington, London, and Berlin from Russia’s drunken ex-president.
The nights are long and lonely in the world of the Kremlin’s most capricious Thumbelina, Dmitry Medvedev. Sipping away the hours in the comfort of his well-protected Moscow penthouse, the angry little guy stares at photos of the good old days when world leaders respected him, and Russians actually liked — and didn’t fear — their president. He is tortured undoubtedly by what could have been.
Oh, what could have been had little Dima remembered that he had a pair of balls not belonging to Putin, the prime minister, then when D was on top of the world? Nowadays, however, he is just on top of how to mitigate the effects of a whiskey and wine-induced hangover. In 2011, Putin found Medvedev’s liberalism a bit too much to stomach and so informed him that he would retake the presidency. Many of us then wondered aloud why he didn’t just tell Putin to F off. Medvedev was in charge and could have — should have — shut Putin down. He could have — and should have — given Russia a chance for a real future built by Russians and not the one we see today: Russia pulled down by cowardly ass-kissers and morally bankrupted hangers-on.
