Putin and the Russians - I'm Not Going Anywhere, Kiv!

I feel bad for the people of Ukraine that they're stuck in this horrible situation. They are very much paying the price now and very far into the future for this. This is clearly a sign of a government doing what the government wants to do and the people have nothing to do with it. Even back in Stalin's days, there was a program of the Russification of Ukraine. So yeah, there's a pretty deep historical context there. He miscalculated this job.
