Although Russia purports to be a Democracy they are very different than the U.S. Democratic Republic. Putin is essentially a dictator and can "get things done" much more quickly than in the U.S...not that we should even be thinking of that! But I think it needs to be pointed out to show how much he doesn't understand about not only Russia (and other countries), but how much he doesn't even know about how the U.S system of government works; it's branches, it's checks and balances, etc.
