    You forgot:

    1. The Soviet Union falling apart 50 years later

    It wasn’t the killing of security forces that gave you independence, it was the culmination of a lot of factors that led to the downfall of the Soviet Union and former Soviet states declaring independence.

    By promoting violence in the US, you’re marching lock-step with the Russians. So either you’re a Russian, in which case I hope you headbutt an artillery round, or you’re Ukrainian in which case it seems weird to wish internal violence on one of the countries providing you with the weapons manufacturing that you require to defend your country from capture. I can’t imagine that the US falling into civil war will increase the weapon shipments.
