I don’t think he will. The bloodshed required to put Yanukovych back in power now - especially now that the Ukrainian Rada has dismissed him as President - would be horrific.

And it would also be met with massive armed resistance from the Ukrainians themselves, who have no desire to become a Russian vassal state. They, like the Czechs before them, want the Russians to **** off back to Russia and stay there.

This is major slap in the face to Putin, and for that, I say, “Well done, Ukraine.”

Putin is Stalin 2.0, nothing more.

I don't think that will happen.

But I do think that the revolutionaries waited until the Olympics started.

Russia won’t invade the Ukraine. That’s ridiculous.

Yup, that's one thing us westerners don't have a grasp on is the mind set of those in the east, it's call saving face.
Putin does not want to lose face in sight of his host country is the country of hosting the Olympics.
You can bet a good horse fly that Putin will deal harshly after the Olympics is over.
