No it's not: <<But as we can all see plainly, Putin’s performance in Ukraine is a walking, talking, barking advertisement for the perils of having a president for life, who believes that he’s indispensable and infallible.>> Reliable polls of Russians show Putin has got double the support that DementiaJoe10% has got. Term limits are often popular, and then not so popular. They usually follow a useless leader who goes off the rails, gets senile or something. But then we have Queen Elizabeth II = 70 years of continuous reign. There are not many fans among those who favour royalty who think the Queen should have a term limit. On the contrary, the Thai King [who died after about 70 years in charge], the Japanese emperors, and the British royalty remain very popular with very long reign generally favoured. We don't actually know that Putin believes that he's indispensable and infallible = that's according to some idiot who thinks they can do mind-reading, which says more about their fallibility and thinking process than about Putin's. Putin is quite sensible and reasonable, so I guess he knows very well that he is not indispensable and it would be very weird for him to think himself infallible. The Pope is officially infallible, by Papal edict. Doubting Kim the Fatter's infallibility would be bad for one's health and life expectancy. The Pope would only require excommunication for papal infallibility doubters, not execution which is how Kim the Fatter handles doubters. Some care is required in opposing Vladimir = polonium 210, novichok, thallium, dioxin, and lead poisoning have all ended or badly damaged the lives of opponents. That doesn't seem to have damaged his local popularity very much. Mqurice
