    Do you consider it necessary to preserve the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics as a renewed federation of equal sovereign republics, in which the rights and freedoms of a person of any nationality will be fully guaranteed?

    That was the question; it’s quite clearly referring to preserving the USSR. Comparing that to the difference between the Romans and the EU is disingenuous and you know it.

    And you noticed six SSRs boycotted it! But I thought the USSR “used military force to put down any rebellion from their puppet nations”? Which is it? Was dissent tolerated or not? Or, as in almost every country, were some types of dissent tolerated (local officials protesting national decisions) while other types were not (violent opposition to the state backed by hostile foreign governments)?

    whataboutism

    So you flat-out lied when you said you held all countries to the same standards. Holding all countries to the same standards involves discussing other countries to place actions in context (incidentally, this is a huge part of what passes for international law). It’s not just shutting off your brain and screeching “whataboutism!” when someone asks you to acknowledge some things are bad even when your team does them.

    reeeee’ing
