thus used deadly violence to suppress any dissent from its Eastern half.

The violence started when the Russian puppet president walked away from an EU trade deal that he literally campaigned on making, then cracked down on the resulting protests. Then an actual Russian created rebellion started. Calling that "suppressing dissent" is disingenuous as fuck.

Thank you for that insight, senator McCarthy.
