There are certainly people who go out of their way to defend Russia, but for fuck's sake, Ukraine literally was attempting an ethnic cleansing campaign while also violating multiple treaties

If it were any other country, the libs would gladly be in favor of retaliatory action

we, as educated communists, should go out of our way to dispel western misconceptions about Russia and the rest of our "enemies" and spread understanding. It is our duty to disillusion these chauvinists of their fake notions and correct them. We must counter-signal to the entire western dominated narrative that is always pro-chauvinistic and anti-"enemy of the day" in every way that we can.

He's a sick mafioso who wields reaction at his convenience, but what would you guess to be Contra's stance on Navalny was to anyone who didn't bring up Navalny's actual politics? My guess is that she'd to like the other libs and call him a hero who was too brave for this world.
