But as I understand it, Ukraine is a corrupt state lost to the fate of imperialist proxy, while Russia is one of the last bastions against western imperialism.
Shouldn’t we actually be holding Russia to a higher standard than Ukraine?
That is really not a high bar is it?
And while Russia certainly has problems your first sentence is absolutely correct and they get my critical support for that reason.
There is no greater force for evil than the imperialist/fascist USSA and its proxies.
Once that implodes (finally it’s in sight) we can take care of other problems.
But how can we know that Russia itself won’t fall to corruption and imperialism before the fall of the US if we don’t hold Russia to a high standard of freedom? Isn’t that the mistake many people made with the US, accepting it as the leader of the free world while ignoring its obvious hypocrisy?
The USSR has fallen, and modern is under no guarantees to have inherited any of its moral strength.
Well , the fall of the US is happening already.
It was never the leader of the free world.
It was the leader of the themselves and their small circle of vassals.
That name is just a result of their pretentious and arrogant delusions.
Also pretentiously named ‘the rules based order’.
And I know you can cry about ex-ukraine but it’s nearly impossible for Russia or any other country to be even half of the cancer the US is to the world.
They would need to be bombing children in at least 5 countries at the same time and regime change or put sanctions on half the world to starve them.
All this while stealing their resources.
Besides, that’s only a theoretical possibility while the US cancer is a reality.
With the Satan country gone, Russia can relax and won’t need to battle influence or regime change operations.
The communist party (not forbidden unlike in ex-ukraine) is the biggest opposition party in Russia.
When you are under constant threat from NATO, surrounded and creeping closer and closer you get a strong nationalist leader.
When that’s gone Russians can deal with that.
Exactly, and for good reason, the loss of free speech is a disaster in any country.
Still, there’s a lot more going on in ex-ukraine where all opposition is forbidden, and even put in jail.
