Resisting Tyranny behind the Iron Curtain vs. in the "Free World"

In 1991, Russian troops refused to fire on demonstrators and strikers, effectively neutralizing the Soviet tyranny. I wonder if Canadian and American troops will respond as the Russian troops did. After all, we're supposed to be the "Free World", right?

See the article in the link above for how Russian troops refused to obey what were lawful orders in the Soviet regime.

I think tear gas is a more relevant question for Ottawa.

Russian troops and police refused to take any action against the demonstrators and strikers, and that would include tear gas and mass arrests.

This is the fear of the left.

It is why there is an active campaign to purge conservatives from the police and military.

The Chinese were far more intelligent in dealing with the Tianmen Square problem. They transported in units from the far distant western garrisons. These people detestation the effete whiney metro ponce’s, as they saw them and we’re to kill plenty of the demonstrators.
