    Muzychko killed by the ‘police’, whatever that means in Ukraine, check. Now Klitschko bows out of the election. A nice wad of cash and some pictures of Muzychko’s body probably did the trick. Well the ultra right served their purpose as useful idiots and now will disappear from any proximity to power This stuff is pretty easy really. It doesn’t even rate a bad melodrama it just too predicable. Oh, and a billionaire president. That’s a real surprise, not.

    Having a presidential system not a parliamentary one makes government dysfunction more likely. I suppose the newly formed democracies that came out of the old USSR would not have been better off with parliamentary systems as the parties were not organized and the prospect of governments failing multiple times a year didn’t seem very attractive.

    I expect that in the future there will be no president in the world who isn’t a billionaire or who won’t be one soon after retirement. So no president will even think about any steps that would deflate financial asset prices. In tandem with the firm belief, a moral one they imagine, that the poor deserve their fate.

    rapier – “A nice wad of cash and some pictures of Muzychko’s body probably did the trick.” So true. Thanks for the good laugh!

    So long as people remain dependent on government handouts (and I can’t blame them – there are few good-paying jobs left), so long as people think it’s okay for their house price to be manipulated up (so they can borrow against it)…..so long as everybody is trying to get “something for nothing,” they will keep electing billionaire presidents who line their own pockets and those of their friends. So long as the population continues to think it’s okay for their government to interfere with sovereign countries the world over, dependent again on their government to get them “something for nothing,” nothing will change. Bread and circuses for all!

    The ONLY thing that will wake people up is a giant upset in the status quo, a painful suffering. In fact, I don’t really think many people are even conscious at all. That’s what bread and circuses gives you – unconsciousness.

    Russia has been attacked so many times over the centuries, millions of lost lives. Of course they’re going to react when they feel threatened; history tells them they have good reason to be worried.

    Someone, I don’t know who, said,”The pen is mightier than the sword”.

    Therefore, considering all of the ball in the air, I expect that Putin will send an army of laywyers, accountants and bankers to invade the country.

    Just to make sure that everything is going to plan, the IT team will being overseeing the operations.
