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.

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?

[–] drath@lemmy.drath.ru 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

I wouldn't call them supporters. Neither has sent any weapons or any aid, troops or volunteers, or provided any financial support. And all but condemned Russian invasion. And while yes, BRICS hasn't implemented any sanctions on Russia, neither did Israel and Turkey. You wouldn't call them Russia's supporters, would you?

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

Me: Supports Palestinians, absolutely yes.

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.

If you want to check out Marxist-Leninist theory, I wrote a basic study guide you can check out.
