Putin Strikes Out

  There are hints that the Russian invasion of Ukraine will fail, and Putin will be deposed.
   Popular resistance to the invasion is widespread and nearly total among the Ukrainian people, who also have strong support from other nations. Even in Russia, despite government efforts to stifle opposition to the invasion, the people there are staging mass protests against the action.
   Whether the Russian leader will resort to using atomic weapons in Ukraine and against other nations who support the Ukrainian people is an open question. Meanwhile, significant damage has been done to Putin's power in Russia, and his continuing efforts to stifle opposition with military force may backfire and he will be ousted.
   Speculation? Certainly. But possible.
