With the rise of China and Russia and the weakening of US-NATO, countries like Cuba, Venezuela, DPRK etc, will have breathing space to chart their own path, instead of being constantly under the jackboot of US Imperialism.
I don't disagree, but the path Russia seems to be charting is one of bourgeoisie oligarchy. Not something to admire.
Critical support means supporting a nation fighting back against the other nation that has a global hegemony economically and in military as well against their proxies.
Yes exactly, but we don't have to (and shouldn't) like them. The only thing between Russia and the kind of Imperialism that the US engages in, is capacity.
China I think is our best hope, but the rise of this Russia is something to cheer only in how it undermines American hegemony.
I'm not saying that they shouldn't have critical support, just that people seem to assume they are better than they really are once that support has been given.
People go for critical support because it opposes the US's interests and somehow forget that the USSR has been dead for over thirty years and the Russian Federation is a bourgeoisie oligarchy wearing its corpse as a mask.
2, Obama did some horrible things, but everything I know about him suggests he'd be a good conversationalist.
Every American either lives like the Simpsons, the family at the start of interstellar, or the cast of Friends,
So offending the state in China invokes the punishment of getting to experience the American reality?

Help, I have an excess of yellow bile and a deficit of phlegm, can bloodletting really balance out those humours?
