This comment is old by now but I wanted to add to what others said, that what we're doing isn't something new, it's close to what's known as Revolutionary Defeatism. We believe that in the context of capitalist imperialist hegemony the working class has in its interest to spoil any imperialist project. NATO is part of that hegemonic order, and its unipolar domination of the world is something that harms the whole global working class. Therefore, when us leftists in the imperial core are called to follow in line and support imperialism because we're doing it different this time, we need to recognize that the principled position is to oppose the war despite of the accusations thrown at Russia. It's not like the world is in danger of Russia becoming a hegemonic super power the way the US is, instead the threat is of Russia offering a competing alternative to developing countries as a trade partner, which is good for everyone.
