Are there enough Russians that want to do that to Ukraine? And then secondary to that, will the greater Russian population tolerate doing that to Ukraine?

- robbedpeter 5y agoThe will of the people isn't relevant to authoritarian dictatorships, except in the case of widespread revolutions. That might occur, but while Putin is still in charge, what happens is a matter of his decisions and whim. He is quite willing to commit atrocities in pursuit of expansion.
- maxerickson 5y agoOf course it is relevant, his control is significant but it isn't absolute. You'll have problems well before a full blown revolution.
