I'm leaning towards "multipolarity is a good thing" given today's circumstances. Russia will undoubtedly try to arise as an emergent imperialist power once they are able to but they will still need to be reliant on an "anti-NATO" power Bloc with Belarus, China, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, etc. And once the West further unravels, it will still take a while before the power vacuum is filled, which gives time (assuming they will be as axe-happy and competently lethal towards international socialist movements as NATO is, which is in the cards).
That said, that's a far cry from saying "the invasion is a good thing, actually".
Yes that seems to be where these factions are at. I don't wholly agree with them but the disagreements that exist don't really change anything for how any of us are organising and they don't change any of the analysis for the future. This makes fighting over it rather pointless.
True. The struggle sessions among the (actual) Left over this point feel like a waste of energy, since everyone is at least on the same page regarding NATO's role.
