It's his way to get around constitutional limitations on the Russian presidency. He's offering the Belerusian president the VPship to sweeten the pot.

Ben_Skywalker posted: well Russia is already extremely corrupt from gangs and organized crime in general. I have a couple of friends who just recently moved here from Russia and they talk about how corrupt the Russian government is. You have to be part of certain gangs in order to get any type of government job. And a majority of Russian men hate Americans. So I can see why they're rejecting our style of democracy.
Alpha-Red posted:So if they hate our style of democracy what do they intend to use as a model instead?
