They're trolling, surely. No-one thinks Russia has a more stable government than the UK. They had a failed coup not even a month ago!

- dragonwriter 3y agoFailed coup attempts are signs that someone wants the government to be unstable, but less so that it actually is. Russia’s government has been very stable for the last couple decades, with little change in substantive authority even in the inter-Putin period when Medvedev was nominally President; certainly much less substantive change than in the UK. (One might reasonably suspect its the kind of stability produced by a brittle regime that does not bend and is thus more likely to catastrophically break, though.)
- twixfel 3y agoTruly stable countries don't have coups at all. A coup of any kind is a sign of instability.
- dragonwriter 3y ago> Truly stable countries don’t have coups at all. A failed coup attempt is not a coup.
- twixfel 3y agoTruly stable countries don’t have attempted coups at all, then, if you really insist on being pedantic.
- dragonwriter 3y agoNow that you clarify it, I just disagree with your asserted definition.
- twixfel 3y agoNo idea what you're talking about.
