Unless he plans to ignore the election results and stay in power anyway, it's soon going to be over for him and his loyal flunkies and goons.
- zhoujianfu 4y agoI think he probably does plan to ignore the election results?

If they have a stash of approx. $60 B parked somewhere, which seems they do, they may succeed in 'buying' the elections coming up. Need to take a closer look at the polls in the coming months to gauge voter sentiment, which has started turning in favor recently. This is a crystal clear example of why non-independent central banks and monetary policy is dangerous for democracies, you can basically try to buy the elections... 1:https://twitter.com/ali_hakan_kara/status/1575759533053313024 https://twitter.com/ali_hakan_kara/status/157575953305331302... 2:https://twitter.com/ali_hakan_kara/status/1569227497467699200 https://twitter.com/ali_hakan_kara/status/156922749746769920...
