He *could*, yes, but he’s still got a long way to go to beat Mao’s 1949-1976 run.
Perhaps read up on a wee bit of Chinese history @dwnews
RT @dwnews: Xi Jinping could become communist China's longest-serving leader, after he enforced constitutional changes that allow him to serve more than two terms. But he faces many challenges:

This is the same award given to the incessantly and brutally harassed researcher of Russian troll farms @JessikkaAro — and then suddenly rescinded at the last moment by Mike Pompeo when it was discovered she had once said something critical of Donald Trump @StateDept

Quite the threat.
RT @PMSimferopol: Protests against “foreign agents" bill, erupted in #Tbilisi🇬🇪, result in demands for the resignation of the government. We recommend to the georgian people to recall a similar situation in Ukraine🇺🇦 in 2014 and what it finally led to!

From top to bottom, the highest to the lowest, from the thug on the corner shaking you down to the "captains of industry", the country is one big criminal enterprise.

After agreeing to a 300 billion ruble "voluntary" contribution to the budget, Russia's richest people are asking the Kremlin for a return favor.

A Women’s Day thread to read. Do.
RT @daryazorka: Last year when the news about russian violence against Ukrainian women and little girls became known, I thought that prominent feminists around the world would be outraged and would shout about it from the rooftops. It didn’t happen. 1/6

600 people died that one night from the bombing.
RT @kajakallas: 79 years ago Soviet planes bombed Tallinn and destroyed almost a quarter of the city. We see Russia using the same terror tactics today in Ukraine.

Just pick up and go home as your great grandfathers did in 1917.
The Russian army leadership was as incompetent then as now. So Russian soldiers said enough, we’re going home.
They survived. Which is more than you will if you don’t go home.
RT @wartranslated: As if we are now getting used to almost daily videos from Russian mobilised soldiers, this one is different. The commander of this platoon is not appealing to Putin, but directly stating he is refusing to …
