Wouldn't it be kind of similar to how American-style white nationalism is centred around groups they perceive as "white" and for Europeans it's more ethnicity specific and related to their historical and cultural context? It would be weird to compare a Russian or Ukrainian nationalist to an American "white = good, not-white = not good" conservative.
very much doubt he even cares about this though. He’s amoral. He’s using this to appeal to Yankee conservatives innit
Putin is homophobic and transphobic, he might not give that much of a shit but there's no doubt he would see LGBT right as "western sins" or whatever conservatives call it.
The concept of critical support does not mean you ignore the various problems someone may have.
What was that Milo Edwards quote from a WTYP episode about the Kursk disaster? "What most Westeners don't understand, is that the Russian foreign policy is best understood as trolling. Whenever Putin makes a baffling declaration, just imagine him winking like the troll face".

But riling up Yankee libs and appealing to Yankee conservatives does help grind the American ruling class gears against itself. That's the point
