Comment on Why do .ml users get a bad rep?
Same thing in most cases.
I’d like to fully agree, but modern Russia is not even close to the old school soviet which they idolize.
Also true, which makes their modern Russia apologia that much more baffling. Well, not really, as any US adversary is good in their eyes.
Is Russia even a US adversary anymore?
Russia sees everyone else as either Russian or enemy of Russia.
You seem to think that having Trump on your side makes you pro America, but I strongly disagree.
Putin didn’t campaign for his pet Trump to be president in offer to strengthen and enrich the USA!
Depends on your frame of reference, but I’d still say yes even if the president is a Russian asset.
It’s only baffling if you don’t listen to the actual reasons people believe things and just assume it’s because Russia used to be socialist, regardless of how many people say otherwise.
I know I shouldn’t bite, and it’ll all end in tears, but this bait is too tempting!

What, specifically is good about specifically Russia as it is nowadays, from a leftist perspective, that isn’t because it used to be socialist?!
I never said tankies support Russia because it used to be (allegedly) socialist, I’m saying it’s wild you promote it as AES when it fucking isn’t.
And I’ve heard the apologia for the Ukraine invasion, and it’s all bullshit.
