Despite the efforts of the Republicans to destroy the USA, I can’t seriously see this kind of thing happening. Russia on the other hand, since the war started I’ve read a number of articles by Russians saying they weren’t too surprised by what happened to them.

Point 1 happened in Canada not the US. Also, It was not republicans who invoked this power but Canadian leftists. Trudeau invoked emergency powers to quash dissidents in Montreal (?) because he did not agree with their protests.

Incredible how the western world has turned a blind eye to this event because the ‘right’ people were targeted.

It was Ottawa, and Trudeau used all same rhetoric Putin is using now, calling them Nazis[1], denying the leaders bail[2], charged with mischief, and pushing propaganda thru state media.

Like the story of truckers attempting to burn down an apartment building[3], that turned out to be completely false, but used to prove violence and justify the emergencies act.
