Yankukovich fled Kyiv, and protesters won, because in the end he lost his nerve and panicked. Do not expect KGB boy Putin to do likewise.

@andersostlund He didn't order that at first, though. Putin will never let things get to that point...if he can help it. -
@InfoAgeStrategy I agree with you. Just saying Yanik is also very evil, just not very clever. -
@andersostlund And not suicidal, either. But I don't see Putin leaving office as long as he's still breathing, even if it means total ruin. -
@InfoAgeStrategy Sad to say I agree with you. My prediction for Russia is harsh dictatorship combined with utter poverty. -
@andersostlund In 1991, RUS had wonderful opportunity to develop in an entirely different direction. But corruption and greed prevented that -
@InfoAgeStrategy Very true indeed. The communists did a good job making zombies of people.

@andersostlund Look at how long Maidan protests went on, though. That law Putin recently signed expressly forbids "ongoing" demos like that. -
@InfoAgeStrategy Yanik tried to end Maidan several times. People stood strong in defiance though. Ran towards the bullets, not away. -
@andersostlund I think it will take awhile before the pressure among the population builds to the point where they would be similarly brave. -
@InfoAgeStrategy discontent will be channeled at "national traitors" and "Western forces". It's amazing, but it always works.@andersostlund -
@burgherreview
@andersostlund Someone said cops asked vanful of detainees if any of them were UKR. They (all Russians) laughed in response. -
@InfoAgeStrategy heard of that too. Didn't happen to me. If I am deained and asked if I am Ukranian, I will report.@andersostlund
