Interesting how it is always the Russian regime and the discussion is usually centered around the way it works not what it accomplishes with the usual Russia is declining (same story for a decade now and yet USA is screaming about Russia as if it rules the world) line. On the other hand, when discussing other leaders and systems, let's take Merkel (also in power for decades) and Germany it is newer a regime, the discussion is constrained to their accomplishments and failures and newer about the way they rule. <br>The discussion is more a reflection of USA POW than the actual topic. Do an interview with Stephen F. Cohen next time.
