the short time we have left, i want to ask you about vladimir putin s main opponent. accusing the kremlin of being involved in a green dye attack. he said it damaged his cornea. he has vowed to run in the presidential election next year, by the way. is this a taste of what it will be like to go up against vladimir putin? that s right. the lens for everything we re going to see over 10 or 11 months will be putin, dominating and controlling and minimizing risk. going into what has to be not just an election, but a coronation. this is going to be his fourth term as president. he has to replace his prime minister, and bring in a successor, unless he exchanges the constitution. this is a supersensitive period, potentially dangerous. the russian economy is not going great. he is playing hard ball. and allowing an attack on one of his opponents, the murder of one of his outspoken opponents.
