It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. The freeman of America did not wait till usurped power had strengthened itself by exercise, and entangled the question in precedents. James Madison
Live as free people, yet without employing your freedom as a pretext for wickedness; but live at all times as servants of God. 1 Peter 2:16

Why the Hell should I have to press “1” for ENGLISH?
Of concern, or should be, is that a flunky can mouth off like that with no threat of repercussion. By design? Or, does Mevedev (sp) and/or other oligarchs have that much power? Putin's not going to live forever (just longer than Navalny). Abraham Lincoln isn't waiting in the wings to take over.
Speaking of Russian oligarchs, wonder how many of those greedy, I/Me asshats are really willing to die for Mother Russia?

The current Medvedev is a clown who talks all sorts of nonsense. Such a clown is useful to Putin for two reasons:
1. Even Putin, against the background of this clown, acquires the features of respectability.
2. Through the clown's statements, public opinion can be probed. If the reaction to the statement is negative, then this is just a buffoon's statement. If the reaction to the statement is positive, then Putin himself may begin to speak out in the same direction.
