McFall points to dick tater's "cataclysmic" humiliation.

"And there is something cataclysmic going on in terms of the support for his regime. This is a major break, I think, inside Russia," he explained. "That's not to say the regime will fall or Putin will fall anytime soon, we're horrible at making those kinds of predictions, so we should be careful, but the fact he's taking more extreme measures, turning Russia into North Korea, suggests to me he understands that he's losing this war and losing his peoples' support for this war."

Another Kim Jong-un? That aInt good.
Humiliation is what he brought on himself. I don't see him committing suicide, so he becomes more irrational and dangerous - to everyone.

The situation in Russia, as bad as it has become with propaganda and crackdowns on freedoms, is still prosperous and open compared to the low, low standards of life in North Korea. The people there simply wouldn't tolerate that kind of change.
