It's funny because Russia is a very very right wing imperialist oligarchy. Everything they say they hate about the US, Russia also is. I have multiple friends that escaped there and they tell it as essentially 1900s Jim crow in America with respect to people of color, lgbtq, etc... Just because a country is against the US, doesn't mean it is perfectly good or bad.
Russia is Trump for tankies. Regardless of any horrors they do, whatever lines they cross, whatever lies/propaganda they get caught telling, they can no wrong and they will defend every choice and action to their last breath. It is purely a cult of personality, but the personality being against the US.
I get it too, I am not a fan of the US and try to buy everything possible European or Chinese, but I am not under any illusion that either EU countries or China have amazing, great governments or don't have massive racism problems, surveillance problems, have committed uncounted atrocities, or have a big weathy corrupt elites problems.
Let's just say for the sake of the argument that Ukrainians are Russians; How is it still not genocide if they are being systematically killed? 🤔
