    Interestingly, Counterpunch hasn't been part of the anti-anti-Putin left and has been very clear-sighted about Putin's imperialism. And this is not a magazine that has ever turned a blind eye to the crimes of USA foreign policy.https://twitter.com/BillFletcherJr/status/1508137711865147393 …

        You can see why Putin hates Lenin (not that I'm defending the latter's actual post-1917 practice when it comes to self-determination...):pic.twitter.com/jyajC06Llp

        This should be clear to anyone rational. About me, I was in the military for over ten years; I was fired for non-conformity (it happens) I don't believe in killing civilians during warfare. I don't own a gun. The Russian aggressors are in the wrong here.

        A lot of rhetoric and historical digression here, but not sure about the analysis. I agree the invasion is an illegal pre-emptive war, but so far I don’t see a lot of evidence of colonialism.

        The war is a continuation - and possibly culmination - of a destabilizing process that began in earnest 2014 with a coup and a consequent civil war.

        Too many self-proclaimed "anti-imperialists" just don't want to see what modern day Russia actually is. They just can't accept that the enemy of my enemy may be an even bigger enemy . There is absolutely nothing positive about current day Russia for anybody on the left
