Don’t agree with his assessment at all pretty much, but still interested what yous think about that stance, because really I’ve not seen much theory based discussion on the topic since the early days of the conflict.

I swear i didn’t downvote you, but there is something strange in your comment: when you say we shouldn’t support either side, but instead only take advantage of the situation. As you are acknowledging russian action has positive impacts, wouldn’t support for russia at this time be the correct posture to take advantage of the situation?
Not really as we aren’t Russian nationalists or chauvinists, we are Communists. This is an opportunity to bring clarity to the working class. To take full advantage of the situation we must call out the war for what it is a Capitalist war that the working class is forced to fight. In turn, we must organize and agitate to raise the class consciousness of the working class in preparation for revolution or in the short term to simply strike back.
So the next time an imperialist country engages in military, economic or information war against another weaker capitalist country who is resisting their dominance, we should not support them on the grounds they are also capitalist? I hate nationalism as much as you, but I consider this a matter of practicality.
