Like other gifted dictators, Putin is careful to maintain the support or at least the acquiescence of his people. If/when he invades Ukraine, will the people go along with it?
He has his story all worked out, hammered home by the state-controlled media and faithfully repeated even by some here. For eight years, you see – ever since President Yanukovych was thrown out – Ukraine has been run by Nazis installed by the US and NATO. There have been two Presidential and two Parliamentary elections in Ukraine since then, but no matter. Putin will be liberating the downtrodden Slavic brothers.
Will the Russian people believe it?
