“there were Russian operatives in Ukraine, therefore all dissent is illegitimate and can be crushed with lethal force.”

If you can’t understand how that is the same as justifying McCarthyism by saying their were communist spies in America, it’s because you’re being willfully obtuse.

Are you saying there were no communist spies in the US during the cold war?

There’s piles of evidence of communist spies operating in America during the cold war too, mate.

That would explain why his best films are based on books

Lol, who was it that taught shitlibs like you that anyone not immediately agreeing with them is equivalent to “refusing to engage with the points”. I engaged with your points just fine, they’re just bad points.

“Yanukoviych ran on trade with EU, therefor it’s OK to violently suppress dissent” is certainly a take.

Also are you saying contracted Russian soldiers weren’t in luhansk and donetsk in 2014 and onward?

“Are you saying there aren’t communist spies in America?” -SkyezOpen defending McCarthyism.

“Suppressing descent is fine if you claim the population ‘overwhelmingly supports’ you”

Why even bother with elections at that point? Just claim anybody who wouldn’t vote for you is a RuSsIaN AgEnT

“it’s not suppressing descent if you accuse the people you’re supressing of being Russian agents first”

Thank you for that insight, senator McCarthy.

Don’t forget their unprovoked, full scale bombardment of Yemen
