It's fucking hilarious to me that you said this as a ridiculous jest but the only difference between American liberalism and the current Russian state is that Russia is on its face "more corrupt". Like wow holy shit, Putin has effectively more visibly direct authority over Russia than a single U.S. President has over the United States, that makes them so radically different holy moly. It doesn't matter that their societies are both the result of capitalist oligarchy privatizing almost anything it can get away with, all that matters is that Putin is a big meanie-bo-beanie and U.S. Democrat presidents aren't as openly nefarious

Basically what I'm saying is yes

Darn liberals invaded Ukraine.
