  • TenebrousX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4This is not as sensationalist as it would seem from the headline

  • Dugg2Death, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5So, Putin just dissolved the entire government and appointed his own Prime Minster... this will end well. Is it time to panic yet??

  • Dugg2Death, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Yes, he has the right to dissolve the gov and force elections. Problem is.. he appointed his guy as the new prime minister, taken control of the media, and I'll make a bet here, that he has a hand in who gets on the ballet to be "elected."
  • adr4, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4Putin: Our glorious leader for life.
  • Imperceptible, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4The worlds most powerful non-nuclear bomb, now this. I'm starting to get worried.

  • guywhodoesstuff, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2We've already gone over this once today: The government periodically dissolves, happens in Canada too.
  • JazLive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Can U imagine GLOBAL initiation of "President 4 Life"? Glad the International Community is not stuck in the "Roaring Twenties"
  • kooft, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2How are we supposed to invade Iran if you guys can't stay focused? Now pay attention (points to Iran on map)!
  • TheGonzo, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2Yup, there would be a lot of precipitate in that saucer
  • SwissCamel, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Dissolved them? I would suggest leaving them on a saucer for a couple of days to evaporate off the water until their crystal form is left.
  • techguyx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I'm not entirely sure what to make of this... from the article, it almost sounds like they have specific "guidelines" for doing this type of thing???

    Dissolving the government sounds pretty totalitarian, but this sounds more like just dismissing them early. Does anyone have a clear knowledge of what exactly Putin has gone and done in his "dissolution" of the government?
  • nblsavage, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1dupe and sensationalist. Buried.
  • duggtodeath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Looks like Bush found his new role model!
  • AlbinoRaven, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Does anyone else feel a cold war warming up. The media machine has been extremely critical of eastern bloc and china recently. Weeeeee!!! It the golden opportunity to spend freely on defense contracting to what amounts to nothing.
  • brothaslide, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Putin should worry about building up Russias infrastructure, economy, etc. This does not make any sense.
  • ChuyMatt, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1OH, chemistry jokes. How I love you!
  • JazLive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Trying? Mission accomplished with sponsorship of ATMs in shopping malls.
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2The world is getting more and more hostile everyday. We’re planning on screwing more countries; China is trying to hack everybody; Russians are slowly coming back as Soviets; and Israel its neighbors are just being themselves.
  • JazLive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Sounds like the frontier made for MOVIES Western days, when a dusty piece of land becomes populated with people; the initial pseudo government plots ways to dupe the community and manipulate or murder accepted community leaders in order to control the community.
  • futool, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Really? Are you sure?
  • ldjarmin, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4In Soviet Russia, government dissolves you!
