Putin's Russia is the new Soviet Union -- at least that is what he aims to achieve.

This is sort of a weird one. The Russian pigs fined this journalist less than three hundred bucks for a major embarassment to the state that would normally get you a decade or more in the slammer, or end out in your being disappeared. - maybe that is coming.

On one hand, they need to crack down on the growing number of protesters and defiants actions. On the other hand, they have to carefully avoid creating martyrs. Let's just agree that probably others will be helping to pay her fine.

The Ruskies normally do not process something like this with this kind of speed. Languishing in prison for years awaiting trial is usually part of the routine. Ovbiously they want it done, done and not to become martyr material.

MORE TO COME.

The most likely path to the end of this War is becoming more clear to me now. So long as China remains neutral, the Russian intelligentsia, the military and the people of Russia will end this war, and rather quickly. Who knows what excuses will be offered. Credit will rightfully belong to the people of Ukraine. This war cannot last much longer despite predictions of it dragging on for years or months. This, finally, is the end of the road for Putin.

Were there no internet and 24-7 live coverage, Kyiv becoming another Allepo or Grozny would be far more probable. Of course there was no internet in '56 and '68! I was in Vienna in '57, and I remember both those uprisings well. In the mid 1990's, while in Prague, I intended to place a pebble on Jan Palach's grave but stupidly got lost in the massive Jewish sector as the gates were closing. Though the '56 and '68 uprisings were attempts to get out from under the Russian Thumb, superficially similar to 2014 in Ukraine, the results were far different. Although there may be a few similarities between now and the '56 and '68 uprisings, the present War is fundamentally very different.
 
Russia loses 400-700 KIA per day for its 200,000 troops in Ukraine.

Let's compare that to Soviet losses per 200,000 troops during World War II:

Operation Barbarossa: 235 KIA/day

Winter War vs. Finland: 425 KIA/day

Battle of Stalingrad: 514 KIA/day
