well, it's a silly question.

it's interesting to see them go back to the oil princess, though. that screams american interference looking for a "moderate" figurehead. i wouldn't expect the protestors to buy that. she's as much of a target of corruption as the president. the trial was politically motivated, but she's also notoriously corrupt. don't let them force you to choose either/or. it's all of the above.

so, the fundamental situation has not changed. there's still a corrupt government in power. i wouldn't expect the situation on the ground to change much.

of course, media will initially attempt to suggest otherwise.

the unfortunate truth is that the only way they're going to put this genie back in the bottle, russian pawn or western pawn, is through the use of force. expect that.
