Putin is trying to take down the entire world order, Fiona Hill tells POLITICOMag. “Every time you think, 'No, he wouldn’t, would he?’ Well, yes, he would. And he wants us to know that, of course.”
he published about Ukraine and Russia states the Ukrainian and Russian people are “one people,” a “yedinyi narod.” He’s saying Ukrainians and Russians are one and the same. This idea of a Russian World means re-gathering all the Russian-speakers in different places that belonged at some point to the Russian tsardom.
Now, if he can, he is going to take the whole country. We have to face up to this fact. Although we haven’t seen the full Russian invasion force deployed yet, he’s certainly got the troops to move into the whole country.You say he has an adequate number of troops to move in, but does he have enough to occupy the whole country?If there is serious resistance, he may not have sufficient force to take the country for a protracted period.
Behind the scenes it’s fairly clear that there’s a lot of apathy in the system, that many people support Putin because there’s no one else. People who don’t support him at all will probably not turn out to vote. The last time that his brand got stale, it was before the annexation of Crimea. That put him back on the top of the charts in terms of his ratings.
