Today marks the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. On Friday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo heavily criticized China and Russia’s authoritarianism, comparing both countries to Germany during World War II. Pompeo said:
Today Russia – led by a former KGB officer once stationed in Dresden ‒ invades its neighbors and slays political opponents. It suppresses the independence of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. In Eastern Ukraine and occupied Crimea, Russian authorities use police raids and torture against Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians who oppose Russia’s aggression. In Chechnya, anyone considered “undesirable” by the authorities simply disappears.
