THE LORD OF THE SKIES

Watch out!

It's an ambush, Cabo.

Let's go.

There they come!

Let's go!

Don't leave me behind, Cabo!

We have to create an ICU in one of the bedrooms.

I have the package.

They were, in fact, Cabo's men, but that bastard got away.

I'm bringing you your trophy though.

For all the pain my dad's enduring...

you'd better pray that you die

before my dad can get out of that bed.

-You must be my uncle. -Amado.

And you, my cousin?

I think you should postpone all your appointments.

I also think you should withdraw your nomination.

I screwed up your life and the family's.

Those guys aren't from around here.

For personal reasons, I'm dropping out of the race

for governor of Coahuila.

Help me kill Cabo.

Go mind your own business, ------- it!

Because you are my business!

Looks like we've got more intel.

Ambar's trying to convince me to send you to Mexico with her.

You're the only person I trust.

I need you to find a clandestine airstrip in Quintana Roo.

Son of a bitch! Hold on!

Drop your weapons! You're under arrest.

They got caught.

Our first strategic move will be to find that ------------ Cabo!

When are you going to kill Aurelio once and for all?

I shot him five times. He's got to be a vegetable.

Answer it.

What's up, Cabo?

You're going to pay for killing my dad.

You're going to pay for killing Garañón, too.

You're as good as dead.

The president's come to pay his respects.

Let's go!

Excuse me.

I came to personally give you my condolences.

You have my deepest sympathies, ma'am.

I won't let you make a circus of my father's death.

Get out of my house.

THE LORD OF THE SKIES

I'd like to attribute your rudeness to the pain you're in

because of your father's death, which is understandable.

I personally came to pay my respects

to the memory of an upright, honest man

who knew what really mattered in life.

My father, Mr. Abel Teran, shared the same values.

How come he didn't instill those values in you?

Thank you, Mr. President.

Indeed, your father was a very unique individual.

And I also appreciate your words, Mr. President.

My father was exactly the way you described him.

It can't be, damn it!

How dare a stupid lowlife farmer threaten me?

Let me call Chupete to see if he has any news.

Go ahead.

What are you doing there, kind of petrified?

Go pack my suitcase with my new clothes.

We're going back to Mexico.

You got it, Cabo.

He's not answering, Cabo.

Damn it!

Diana will pay dearly for killing Garañón!

I can't believe that bitch isn't afraid of me

after I killed her father!

I'll have to kill her sister and her mother

to teach her a lesson.

And then I'll kill her!

That's what's messed up with this business.

Especially when women are involved.

Sit down!

Hey, come with me.

Get in here.

Is it safe here?

Yeah.

I'll lock the door from outside so nobody can get in.

I'll be right back.

Quintana Roo is one of the few states in Mexico

untouched by drug trafficking.

We practically live off tourism so I won't let you claim

that I'm obstructing justice for the love of God!

If you'll excuse me,

what are you waiting for to put these criminals behind bars?

I find it odd that you claim to be so honest

given the closeness...

or complicity that you have with Omar Teran.

You know what I find even odder, Castillo?

Your presence here.

As far as I know, you no longer hold a government position.

So, basically I'm saying: have a good one!

Aren't you suspiciously close to Teran?

"Close" is not the right word.

Aren't you his lifetime accomplice?

The political void left by Leonidas Ahumada is regrettable.

With all due respect, Mr. President, why now?

Why not when he was still alive?

You never made a statement before.

You may not know it, dear Carla.

Despite being an unimpeachable reporter,

sometimes your sources or you yourself miss some information,

particularly positive aspects.

That's all.

Thank you.

I'd like to say a few words to Mr. Ahumada's widow.

Thank you, Mr. President.

Thank you.

Cut, Sandro.

Ma'am, if we may have a few words...

I know you were an active component of Leonidas' campaign.

You were particularly involved in supporting small businesses.

Yes, Leonidas came up with that idea

as a result of some comments that I made.

We have to be very alert.

It's very dangerous out there.

Check all security rings, particularly the rear one.

What's this? Where are we?

In heaven.

Where's Aurelio?

There you go, miss.

Glasses, liquor, snacks, whatever you want.

Will he take long?

Just wait.

Looking for this?

Especially in the back. Pay special attention there.

What other alternative exits are there?

There're plenty of exits.

But this room has only one door.

We're really screwed.

We don't even know if Omar's aware

that my father and us are here.

No way.

If Teran knew we were here,

he would've brought the entire Presidential Guard.

But with that fool, who knows.

What I do know is that we can't remained cornered in here.

Diana, think.

There's always an alternative.

Have no fear...

Amado's here.

What?

Forget it. My dad always says that.

What should we do? Go back?

Hold on.

Chepina could open the wine cellar

through the service entrance.

I don't have the keys but she does.

And then, we can circle the guest house, right?

That sounds like a good option.

What's up, Corina?

They want to lock up Javier, Rutila.

They're about to take them away.

I know.

Jaime's there because I asked him to be.

So stay put.

Okay.

I'll keep an eye out.

I thought you didn't know what was going on.

I have to hang up. We'll be in touch.

Saldaña... who were you talking to?

I was trying to locate Casillas.

Not even your mom would believe you don't know where he is.

Can we finally admit you've got Stockholm syndrome?

According to all you, I'm crazy about Aurelio Casillas, right?

You know what?

Since you're so keen on the idea...

If I think it over, he's not that bad.

Have you seen him up close?

He's very handsome.

No.

But I'm not surprised because he looks very handsome in pictures.

And don't think I'm like Navarro.

I'm not accusing you of anything,

so there's no need to get defensive.

Didn't you inject several of those things already?

Isn't that too many injections for that little tube?

They're anticoagulants, Mrs. Alba.

I'm giving him what I'm supposed to.

That damn president just won't leave.

We'll have to move my dad somewhere else.

We're lucky the Presidential Guard haven't found us.

They probably don't know.

Otherwise, they would've been here already.

It's only logical, but we should be prepared just in case.

There are some rooms facing the countryside.

That's where the guestrooms are.

-Let's not waste any time. -Yeah.

I'll get a head start.

Go straight to the left and you'll find the rooms.

Got it.

Oh, darn.

We have to move him very carefully.

Sure.

Give me some time

to disconnect everything so that we can move him.

Please help me.

Watch out.

Darn.

What do you want me to do over there?

or I'll smack you and leave you out of commission for a month.

I'm not trying to meddle in your business, Cabo,

but you should tell us how you're going to deal

with those two chicks in the same house?

Let's see...

You just don't get it, you lowly pothead.

I do think it's risky to bring this chick and her brother over.

How will Ms. Evelina react?

Bro... I dare you to get close to that badass chick

but don't blame me if she turns you into a frog.

I pass, Cabo.

This chick is so out there that when we're intimate,

I call her Black Mamba.

Black Mamba?

Because she's dangerous like a snake.

Listen, Cabo, hold on...

I still don't understand how you're going to handle it...

What will you do with Ms. Evelina?

I'll use magic.

The problem I'm having is that when I bring her home,

I don't know what I'll come up with

to get into Eulalia's room to sleep with her.

There's so much I didn't get to tell my father.

But how could I?

He was always on the road.

Or at work or at the gym...

With his broads or his buddies.

But there was always something keeping us apart.

Pour me a double shot of tequila, please.

Why not one shot and then the other?

Why both at the same time?

Give me a double shot of tequila!

Is it coming out of your pocket?

Thanks.

See how easy that was?

Cheers.

Now give me a shoulder rub, please.

What would the boss say if he saw me

touching your shoulders?

What's he going to say?

That I ordered you to give me a shoulder rub.

Oh and you were restricting my tequila intake.

It's an order.

Come on, do it!

Excuse me, ma'am.

Go for it.

Keep going.

A little harder on this side.

That's it. Harder.

Walk close to that wall.

I know where it is.

Watch out.

Hey, thanks.

On the contrary.

I should thank you for saving me and my family.

This is the least I can do.

So we're even.

So you still owe me.

I'll settle it as soon as I have a chance.

You already did with that smile.

Who taught you to ride motorcycles?

Where did you learn?

In Texas.

We should ride one of these days.

Are you asking me out?

Nope.

I'm just inviting you to ride bikes.

Excuse me, I'm looking for Ms. Diana Ahumada.

Know where I can find her?

Rand Paul EXPOSED a Major Flaw in the Mueller Investigation ! - Duration: 13:05.

Rand Paul EXPOSED a Major Flaw in the Mueller Investigation !

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul expressed concern over special counsel Robert Mueller's

tactics Wednesday on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," saying he abused his authority

to entrap Michael Flynn during the Russian investigation.

Paul said he's been consistently worried about abuses in the intelligence community,

and believes it has become too easy to spy on ordinary citizens and use that knowledge

against them.

"My biggest concern is over something that [James]Madison said in the beginning of our

country.

He said men are not angels and that's why we need more oversight of government.

Our intelligence community has the ability to listen to every phone call.

Every one of your phone calls could be listened to if they wanted to," Pdelay aul said.

"Every one of your emails can be tracked.

Who you who call and how long you speak can be tracked.

Every bank transaction can be tracked.

So I think because men are not angels and women are not, either, there could be bias

entering into the intelligence community and we have to be very, very careful that someone

gives them a check and a balance and that check and a balance should be a judge and

warrant."

Paul explained how his Madison quote connects to Mueller and outlined how simple it is for

the government to pressure someone into cooperating with them.

What does that have to do with Mueller?

He recorded general Flynn's phone call and then got him to say something inconsistent.

He was supposed to go after Russian collusion.

So far he's gotten someone over– he recorded general Flynn's phone call and then got

him to say something inconsistent with what was recorded in the phone call," Paul concluded.

"Think about it from a personal perspective.

If I had 1,000 phone calls from Stephen Colbert, what I could learn, and if I could interview

you, and if you say anything inconsistent with what you said on your private phone calls,

I could put you in jail."

Mueller requested a delay for Flynn's sentencing Wednesday, as both Flynn's attorneys and

the special counsel's office told the court they are not yet ready to finalize an exact

date for the hearing.

The special counsel's office is due to present an updated report to the court on Thursday.

BREAKING: Trump About To Drop Presidential Hammer On Obama - Duration: 16:10.

BREAKING: Trump About To Drop Presidential Hammer On Obama

More and more is coming out about Spygate.

The Obama administration tried to take over the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign,

according to The Hill's John Solomon.

He covered it last night on Hannity's show and then wrote on it extensively at The Hill.

Solomon claims that the FBI began spying on members of the Trump campaign to gather the

intelligence that ultimately justified the collusion investigation, weeks or even months

before the FBI had a formal predicate.

If true, the whole thing was cooked up and premeditated.

It was indeed a pre-planned coup and President Trump is about to drop the presidential hammer

on all of them.

"That's very important.

The rules say you can't use sources until you have a predicated investigation.

The predication is July 31, 2016," Solomon told Hannity.

The investigative reporter said he had sources and documents backing up his claim that he

would be making public in his report in The Hill on Friday and he did just that.

Solomon started off his well-researched piece with this:

"The bridge to the Russia investigation wasn't erected in Moscow during the summer

of the 2016 election."

"It originated earlier, 1,700 miles away in London, where foreign figures contacted

Trump campaign advisers and provided the FBI with hearsay allegations of Trump-Russia collusion,

bureau documents and interviews of government insiders reveal.

These contacts in spring 2016 — some from trusted intelligence sources, others from

Hillary Clinton supporters — occurred well before FBI headquarters authorized an official

counterintelligence investigation on July 31, 2016."

"The new timeline makes one wonder: Did the FBI follow its rules governing informants?"

A very good question and of course the answer is a resounding "no."

Solomon stressed that informants were making contacts with the Trump officials and providing

information to the FBI "much, much earlier than July 31."

Then he drops the bombshell that according to the FBI, the White House and Obama wanted

to take over the whole investigation.

Here is where that led on Sean Hannity's show last night:

John Solomon: I'm putting finishing touches on a column that I think will come out tomorrow.

And it will reveal two really important things.

The efforts to begin targeting and reaching out to Trump campaign officials to gain intelligence

on Russia that would ultimately justify the investigation began weeks and maybe months

before the FBI had a formal predicate.

And that's very important the rules say you can't use sources until you have a predicated

investigation.

The investigation is July 31, 2016.

My sources and documents that I will be able to make public tomorrow will show that there

were contacts going on by people identified as informers, informants, people who provided

information began much, much earlier than July 31st.

That's the first part.

The second part is as the investigation was just starting to ramp up there are internal

FBI documents showing FBI agents talking about the White House trying to take over the investigation.

Fears that the Justice Department were going to leak for political reasons and their own

personal fear.

Sean Hannity: Slow down.

When you say the White House you mean the Obama White House- they were attempting to

take over the investigation.

John Solomon: That's what these messages say.

Sean Hannity: These are FBI messages and this is the Obama White House.

How high up are we talking about here?

John Solomon: We don't know the messages are just what they are.

Solomon covers in the second part of his report the internal FBI communications between former

counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok, his mistress Lisa Page and others discussing how

the Obama White House was trying to take over the investigation.

"The words 'the White House is running this' are clear in the text message,"

Solomon told Hannity, adding that "the FBI agents who opened this case feared that Barack

Obama was weak on national security and wouldn't do what they needed for Russia."

Wowzers.

He went on to say, "The political elements of the administration were trying to intrude

on the FBI investigation."

Solomon's report does not sync with what former Obama deputy national security adviser

Ben Rhodes wrote about the investigation in his new book "The World as It Is," which

is set to be published next week by Random House.

Well, duh.

Rhodes is lying.

That's what he is good at and has done from the beginning.

In his book, Rhodes claims that Obama didn't know there was an FBI investigation into the

Trump campaign's possible contacts with Russia until he left office.

That's just laughable.

Rhodes said that "neither he nor Mr. Obama knew at that time that there was an F.B.I.

investigation," according to the New York Times, which obtained an advance copy of the

book.

Way to cover your collective backsides.

No one believes that.

THE 5 BEST NATIONAL PARKS IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA - Duration: 6:29.

You're planning to do a road trip through Western Australia and don't know

which national parks you should visit? We've curated our top five national parks.

This short guide should help you make the best out of your trip.

Hello fellow adventurers my name is Matthias from Bugs & Bears and together

with my girlfriend Doris I'm traveling the world looking for wildlife and

adventure. Today is really an exciting day for us because we are launching

Wild Travel Tuesday – a new weekly YouTube series on wild life experiences,

adventure gear and travel life. We're right now on a road trip from Perth all the

way up to Darwin. The past couple of weeks really blew our mind so these are

our top five National Park highlights.

Yanchep is just an hour drive up North

from Perth. It is the only place where you can see koalas on the west coast.

Koalas rest up to 20 hours per day. So we were really lucky to see some of them

wake up and have their a Eucalyptus for breakfast. Tunnel Creek is located in the

Kimberley region, around 600 kilometers East of Broome. In Tunnel Creek we found

Western Australia's oldest cave system.

It is really exciting to step into the dark cave and wade through the

ice-cold water pools.

If you are there already you might as well consider going a little bit further

North to Windjana. There we found heaps of freshwater crocodiles,

two to three metres away from us.

Cape Range is close to Exmouth and is part of the Ningaloo Coast.

We probably had one of our best days of the whole road trip so far.

We started pretty early in the morning to hit the road. Suddenly a huge flock of

Corellas landed right next to us on the street.

Look! We just found some wallabies on the rocks!

Cape Range is also known for the famous Ningaloo Reef, the second largest reef of Australia.

Pristine waters with a nearly endless reef, that is giving home to a

variety of marine life. So many turtles, even an octopus, ...

You could also hop on one of the boats and scout for mantas, whale sharks and

humpback whales. Almost every operator even has a guaranteed to see them

included. However, we just had some really beautiful Manta encounters in Indonesia,

so we decided to skip that one.

And luckily enough, on our way back to the campsite

we were surprised by dingos. Wild dogs hunting in the dark.

Karijini is on your way from Exmouth to Broome if you go inland.

Karijini has the most spectacular landscapes and awesome walking trails.

The picturesque trails led us in to steep gorges where sometimes even

climbing skills were necessary.

And believe me: If you're looking for Instagramable spots, Karijini is

definitely the place to go.

And number one:

Francois Peron is located in the Northern end of the peninsula of Shark Bay.

When we came across the spectacular

land of wilderness, we were pretty happy to own a 4WD.

Francois Peron offers by far the most exciting off-road trail system to explore.

In certain places you can even access the beach with your car and drive right next

to the crystal-clear water.

Often we had these beautiful places just for ourselves.

So one day we were watching the sunrise in the North of the peninsula, where we found a

huge cormorant colony. Then right next to that two dolphins appeared.

Probably like 4 to 5 meters away from us. They we're feeding right next to the beach.

Really, really nice. The water there is so crystal clear, we even spotted two

manta rays, several reef sharks and a huge tiger shark just from an

observation platform. Very close to Francois Peron is Monkey Mia, an even better place to encounter

wild dolphins up close and get to learn more about them.

And we've got two bonus points. One goes to Kalbarri National Park,

where we encountered our first Echidna and the second goes to Nambung with its pinnacles.

Really an awesome spot to enjoy the sunset.

Let me give you a quick update about our travel plans. We have some very, very exciting trips ahead.

First of all, we're going to the Kingdom of Tonga to swim with humpback whales.

This has been on our bucket list for a very long time and we're super stoked to be

here right in time for the whale season. Once we're finished with island life, we

head over the Pacific to Anchorage to start a big road trip through Alaska and Canada.

Ryder Cup 2018: Players still yet to qualify for Thomas Bjorn's side - Duration: 2:51.

Ryder Cup 2018: Players still yet to qualify for Thomas Bjorn's side

There are just a handful of events remaining for players to qualify for Europe's Ryder Cup, but who needs a strong few weeks to secure their place at Le Golf National?.

Ryder Cup latest news Latest news ahead of the 2018 Ryder Cup at Le Golf National.

The PGA Championship is the start of the final four-week stretch of the year-long qualifying campaign, with those outside of the eight qualification places after the Made In Denmark left relying on a captain's pick from Thomas Bjorn.

The leading four players on the European Tour points list and the next four on the World Points List after that event automatically qualify for the team, with Bjorn then announcing his wildcard selections in a special show - live on Sky Sports - on September 5.

Team Europe as it stands.

A look at the current European Points List and World Points List.

While the likes of Champion Golfer of the Year Francesco Molinari, four-time major champion Rory McIlroy and Race to Dubai winner Tommy Fleetwood are already assured of a spot, there are many whose place in the European team is far from secure.

Ryder Cup stalwarts Ian Poulter, Henrik Stenson and Sergio Garcia all currently lie outside of the standings, with 2016 members Matt Fitzpatrick, Rafa Cabrera Bello and Thomas Pieters also yet to qualify.

In-form Dane Thorbjorn Olesen and Irish Open champion Russell Knox - who narrowly missed out on qualifying for Hazeltine - could also make a claim, with Eddie Pepperell and Ross Fisher among the other possible hopefuls.

Wladimir Putin konnte in den ersten 100 Tagen seiner vierten Amtszeit in Russland jede Menge schöne - Duration: 12:05.

 Wenn dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin etwas die Sommerlaune verderben kann, dann sind es die neuen US-Sanktionen gegen Russland

Gerade erst hat er sich den Start in seine vierte Amtszeit mit außenpolitischen Erfolgen versüßt

Als freundlicher und weltoffener Gastgeber der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft konnte Russland nach außen glänzen

Und beim Gipfel mit US-Präsident Donald Trump im Juli in Helsinki stand Putin - gewollt oder ungewollt - als Sieger da

Denn über Trump brach danach eine Welle der Kritik herein, er habe sich von Putin im Streit um eine russische Einmischung in die US-Präsidentenwahl 2016 um den Finger wickeln lassen

  Doch die für Ende August angekündigten US-Sanktionen lassen keinen Höhenflug zu

Sie haben Aktienkurse russischer Unternehmen und den Rubelkurs erschüttert. Auch innenpolitisch rumort es an der Basis

Mit Plänen für eine umstrittene Rentenreform hat die Regierung Unmut ausgelöst

Künftig sollen die Russen fünf bis acht Jahre länger arbeiten. Der Widerstand kam schneller und härter als erwartet

Wladimir Putin: Vierte Amtszeit mit Beigeschmack  So hat Putins Bilanz zu Beginn seines vierten Mandats einen bitteren Beigeschmack

An diesem Dienstag ist er seit 100 Tagen in seiner letzten Amtszeit als Präsident

Nach der Verfassung darf Putin noch bis 2024 über die Schalthebel der Macht im Kreml walten

Worauf müssen sich Russland und die Welt einstellen?   Der Außenpolitikexperte Fjodor Lukjanow erwartet wenig Gutes für das zerrüttete Verhältnis zwischen Russland und den USA

"Letzten Endes werden die bilateralen Beziehungen komplett zerstört sein", sagt der Herausgeber der Zeitschrift "Russia in Global Affairs"

  Seit 2014 gab es mehrere Sanktionswellen des Westens. Zunächst wegen der Krim-Annexion und des Ukraine-Konflikts

Nun abermals wegen Russlands angeblicher Beteiligung am Giftanschlag auf den Ex-Agenten Sergej Skripal in Großbritannien

Es ist noch nicht bekannt, welche Bereiche von den neuen Sanktionen betroffen sein sollen

Die Zeitung "Wedomosti" schreibt, mit den bisherigen Maßnahmen habe sich Russland gut arrangiert

"Doch die neuen Sanktionen sind deutlich ernster." "Darin ist Putin nicht schlecht" Lukjanow sagt, die Situation sei für Moskau schwierig

"Die Möglichkeiten der USA, Russland zu schaden, sind deutlich größer als umgekehrt

Der einzige Weg ist, die Beziehungen zu anderen Staaten zu stärken und die USA als Partner irgendwie zu ersetzen", sagte der als kremlnah geltende Politologe der Deutschen Presse-Agentur

  Immerhin: Der Experte Wladislaw Below sieht das Verhältnis zu Deutschland auf einem guten Weg

Streitthemen wie die Krim und die Ostukraine dürften zwar die Agenda künftig weiter belasten

"Aber der Arbeitsdialog entwickelt sich sehr gut. Das ist die Hauptsache", sagt der Deutschland-Experte von der Akademie der Wissenschaften

Erst im Mai hatte Kanzlerin Angela Merkel Putin in Sotschi besucht.  Für die Zukunft dürfte der Taktiker Putin auf eine Wahrung des Status quo setzen

Er müsse sich den neuen Herausforderungen anpassen. "Darin ist Putin nicht schlecht", sagt Lukjanow

Umfragewerte rutschen ab Doch einen Willen zum Wandel sehen Experten bei Putin nicht - eine Haltung, die ihm innenpolitisch Probleme bereiten könnte

Nach der Annexion der ukrainischen Halbinsel Krim konnte Putin jahrelang auf exzellente Umfragewerte über 80 Prozent bauen

Seine Intervention in Syrien trug zu Großmachtgefühlen bei. Sein größter Erfolg: Er hat Russland in den Augen seiner Anhänger wieder groß gemacht

  Nun aber wächst der Unmut. Putins Umfragewerte sind dem unabhängigen Lewada-Zentrum zufolge auf 67 Prozent abgerutscht

Beobachter erklären das mit einer außenpolitischen Müdigkeit der Russen, zu der sich Frust über unbeliebte soziale Einschnitte wie die Rentenreform gesellt

Sollte dies und die US-Sanktionen den Lebensstandard beeinträchtigen, könnte Putins Machtbasis Schaden nehmen

  Worauf also fußt Putins Macht nach gut 18 Jahren in höchsten Ämtern? Experten sagen, seine Unterstützung gründe sich auf Gruppen, die vom Staat abhängen: Beamte und Mitarbeiter von Staatsunternehmen sowie die sogenannten Silowiki, die Mitarbeiter der Sicherheitsorgane

Gerade letztere gelten als attraktive Arbeitgeber. Dem staatlichen Meinungsforschungsinstitut FOM zufolge fände es fast die Hälfte der Russen gut, wenn ihre Kinder beim Geheimdienst FSB oder anderen Sicherheitskräften arbeiten würden

"Das ist der künftige Kern der russischen Mittelschicht", sagt der Politologe Andrej Kolesnikow

  Kritiker machen Putin für den Einfluss des KGB-Nachfolgers FSB im Staat verantwortlich

1998/1999 war er selbst dessen Direktor. Sie bringen ihn auch mit Korruption sowie mit staatlicher Medienkontrolle und der systematischen Ausschaltung der Opposition in Verbindung

Russland: Wladimir Putin ein Symbol für Nationalstolz Putin fällt in diesem System eine Sonderrolle zu: Er verkörpert den Staat

Wie die Flagge sei Putin ein Symbol für den Nationalstolz geworden, sagt Kolesnikow vom Carnegie-Zentrum

Grundlegende Reformen erwartet der Innenpolitikexperte nicht. "Putin versteht, dass er das politische Fundament seines Systems nicht anfassen kann, denn es würde kollabieren", sagt er

Putin stehe nicht für die Modernisierung Russlands, sondern für Stagnation. Was nach Putins vierter Amtszeit kommt, wagt daher niemand vorherzusagen

"Ich glaube nicht, dass er schon einen Plan für seine Nachfolge hat", sagt Kolesnikow

Doch bis 2024 bleibt noch viel Zeit. Möglich, dass die Planung erst nach der Parlamentswahl 2021 beginnt

Putin selbst hat jedenfalls eins schon nach seiner Wahl im März klar gesagt: "Ich bin 65

Soll ich bis 100 hier sitzen? Nein!"
