Kinda reminds me of how many people here seem to believe that anti-Putin means pro-US.
Hmmm
"No I don't support the US, I just believe them about all their rivals"
Are we not against Putin in principle despite whatever progressive impact Russia may have internationally?
Critical support? On my Hexbear?!
We are (or I am) against Putin with the acknowledgement that Putin is likely a moderating force for Russian ultra-conservative nationalism, he is a liberal after-all. The fact of the matter is that the Russian Communist party has been thoroughly cut off from government and is mostly tailing Putin right now. You can be anti-Putin if you want, but any likely successor will be no more progressive.
I mean ultimately yeah we definitely have criticisms, but the anti Putin libs that come on here never raise them, they just repeat state department propaganda.
