The huge majority of Russians do support the war and that's a great thing because they're repelling the NATO encroachment

Any criticisms about Russia and Russians, just ask, would these have been said the same about Iraq or Afghanistan? Both of these states are also capitalist and have even worse social equality than Russia yet people never get so hand wringy about supporting their anti-imperialism unlike Russia

Are the criticisms about Russia actually valid from a materialist Leninist standpoint or is it just a Christian influenced upbringing that makes people inherently view the weak as the underdog (Iraq, Afghanistan) as more morally pure and the big, strong, and mighty (Russia) as evil

It's good that Russia is actually powerful enough to win against NATO and that fact should be celebrated, not shamed
