How? What would they do? They would march and riot and protest and then after a day or two they would go home. Meanwhile the politicians will just wait it out and the show will go on (see Belarus).
- drakonka 5y agoWhy would you assume that? (See Euromaidan)
- utrack 5y agoCompare the total area of Ukraine and Russia - and max distance between the border and the capital city.

- jacquesm 5y agoThat's not a real possibility though, the only way Ukraine will be kept down will be with continuous threats. I personally don't think he will live an hour after he sets foot into Kyiv.
- roveo 5y agoThere's another thing that was different at Euromaidan vs current Russia: Yanukovich and his people had somewhere to run (Russia). Putin doesn't.
- jacquesm 5y agoHe doesn't have to run to someplace, he can just run into some stuff. Preferably a bullet.
