    Or socialists supporting a fundamentalist theocracy in the Middle East for blockading a genocidal Western client state. Oh shit that one is actually a good comparison. Quick, come up with some more shitty ones.

      Except Russia didnt invade Ukraine for good reasons. You know like the humanitarian ones that u listed. its almost like Putin and the one before him doesnt give a single flying fuck about socialism. Nor Russia as it is now.

        complete ignorance of the US-orchestrated coup. complete ignorance of the ethnic cleansing and civil war initiated by the regime they installed. complete ignorance of Operation Aerodynamic. complete ignorance of Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt’s leaked phone call. complete ignorance of the 16,000 civilians dead from Kiev regime shelling over eight years. complete ignorance of Zelensky saying Ukraine would attempt to get nukes the week before the SMO.

          Complete ignorance of how USSR ended and who played key role of doing it. Complete ignorance of how Putin has all wealth and power of Russia and how he rules Russia. Complete ignorance of how he funds Religion, ultra-nationalists to solidify his rule.

          Did you notice you guys still didnt adress my original point? Which is current Russia isnt socialist neither are Putin nor Yeltsin. They are power-hungry and nationalistic leaders. So it is not logical to support them.

        Ukrainian Neonazis were ethnically cleansing Russian-speaking Ukrainian citizens. Russia joined a civil war on the morally correct side.

        It’s like if Egypt invaded Israel. Egypt is also an illiberal capitalist state, but they would still be on the right side of that conflict.
