To degrees of condemnation -- doesn't Russia deserve more condemnation in light of the fact that they are the aggressor state? Certainly, Ukraine is a capitalist country that exploits its population just like anywhere else, but the invasion by Russia is killing the proletariat of Ukraine.
And yes NATO is to blame, and that should absolutely be acknowledged when we assess this situation, but nonetheless, Russia is also to blame. Putin chose to invade. And by doing so, he's done more to strengthen NATO than anyone else since the end of the Cold War. Thus, not only has he strengthened the very institution that contributed to this situation, he's also responsible for the thousands of Ukrainian and Russian lives that have been lost in this war.
How would you define imperialism then?
