Supports Russia? I feel like I understand their geopolitical situation more than the average MSNBC viewer and appreciate their massive restraint they've conducted themselves with from committing war crimes while achieving their military goals (largely self defense from NATO encroachment). I'd prefer the war ends with Russia maintaining control over Donbas and Crimea without too much retribution against the Ukrainian people since they are largely the victims of the Nazi regime the US installed... Oh yeah, and the denazification of Ukraine with a neutral government and the removal of black rock would be nice... I wouldn't define that as supporting Russia but it certainly puts me a little on the right of the Y axis line I suppose.

Yeah, I think we're all about the same there

IDK what kind of international geopolitical paint you'd have to be huffing, but in any case, supporting Russia is stupid. And that's coming from a Russian.

Not really, it is on most of the world interest to support Russia.

How do you square that opinion with the fact that much of the world does support Russia? Are they all stupid, or are you perhaps missing something?

Whom, exactly? AFAIK, only Iran, North Korea, and Eritrea, are actively support Russia. Oh, and Belarus, if you count it as an independent country. Hardly anything substantial.

Brazil? BRICS?

I would say that the left bottom also understands geopolitics, they're just reactionary rats tho.

Also the top left barely exists. They have no idea that the US couped Ukraine's government in 2014, and since then started killing thousands of people in the Donbass, and pushing NATO expansion eastward. There was no peep from the anti-war ppl then about stopping the killings. The rhetoric from them has been dehumanizing slavic peoples, and against any negotiations with Russia to end the war.

The US has demonstrated that it will fight this war down to the last Ukrainian, and are the "anti-war" are mostly proud as long as its not western european or US blood being shed for NATO expansion.
