Lamo im not going to support right wing anything. Russia is an empire the same way the USA is; they just happen to be the weaker empire. Not sure why you are wanting people to support other flavors of empire rather than simply rejecting imperialism all together.
then you dont seem to know what imperialism means. i once again ask you to read theory. and yes, sometimes allying with rightists is in fact necessary: the ussr had to ally with the uk and us and mao had to form a united front with the kmt in order to defeat the fascists. you can still criticize your allies, thats what the critical part of critical support is for. dogmatists on the other hand have achieved nothing.
Is Russia trying to take territory from Ukraine not empire? What about the fact that they subjugate and impose their will on Central Asian countries? If Russia supported Israel in its genocide, would it be okay because Russia has not reach a higher level of right wingness?
ahh yes russia, the county famously lacking in territory. the reason for the smo is the ukrainian western-aligned nazi regime violating the minsk accords by refusing to demilitarize, trying to join the fascist nato-block and murdering russian civilians for years on end. the russian government showed itself extremely lenient, to lenient even, as any sensible politician would have staged a military intervention much earlier. your hypothetical scenario about the zionist entity is bullshit, as only material reality matters. just read lenin ffs!
And yet it fights for more.
sorry, but you are obviously not willing to argue in good faith. the reasons for the smo have been stated clearly, yet you choose to prefer the state department propaganda line. your choice, i guess
