What mental gymnastics! These are literally the same (well-founded) arguments of Moscow proponents. Observe: Russia, in territory formerly ruined by the Kiev puppet regime, are 1) opposing Washington/NATO (remember Ukraine is a client state of Washington, another plutocracy, & Kiev survived protests from its people only due to American intervention), 2) keeping a lid on neo-Nazi/fascist resurgence, and 3) supporting the ethnic Russians who have lived in that area for centuries and have been seeking to maintain self-determination, despite having been overrun by multiple dictators. It is absurd to pretend that Washington has any moral high ground over Russia. The main difference between the two is that Ukraine is on Russia's doorstep. What business does Washington have arming the Kurds or Banderites, on the opposite side of the planet?
