"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.
Ukraine population: overwhelmingly supports trade with eu.
You: CIA backed color revolution!
Russian soldiers: taking geotagged selfies in Ukraine by the dozen, revealing overwhelming Russian military involvement in 2014.
You: Nuuu, putin wouwd nevewww ๐๐
"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
Support for eu trade was high enough that yanukovych campaigned on it. Are you saying that's not true?
Also are you saying contracted Russian soldiers weren't in luhansk and donetsk in 2014 and onward?
