I know that he’s anti-imperialist and that people say critical support. But my question is what does he do? Not saying anything good or bad about him, I’m just saying from the libs I hear he’s bad and a dictator and he’s evil, people who are decently far left say “he’s far from perfect but worthy of critical support” and I can’t criticize or praise his actions as I know nothing of his policies or history and lord knows looking it up doesn’t help these days

    Imperialism is not when a country invades another. Imperialism is the theft of land, labor, and natural resources of a weak country to feed a stronger one.

    Russia defending its borders from continued NATO encroachment over the past 30 years is not imperialism, and Russia is not part of the imperial core of countries currently robbing the global south of its surplus value by paying it wages from 200 years ago.

      lol why did you bring up the global south and NATO. The US is imperialist as fuck and run by billionaire pigs like just like Russia. I don’t simp for the US. The enemy of my enemy isn’t my friend.

      also Russia is stealing the land, labor, and natural resources of the middle east just like the U.S. and now they’re trying to do it to Ukraine.
