Russia and China are both anti-imperialist countries. Russia is run by nationalists that kicked out the western imperialists that were plundering their country in the 90s, and are thus anti-imperialist strategically. China is a socialist country, and has no financial oligarchy. Because of this, it has been the most important player in undermining imperialism globally, and providing an alternative to bypass unequal exchange.
It isn't the US or EU that countries in the global south go towards in breaking free of the cycle of underdevelopment, it's Russia and China. Russia isn't exterminating anyone, and China isn't preparing to do that either. You have a very chauvanistic view of the enemies of the west, as though you can't accept that their villians aren't as evil as them.
