You think Russia’s national self-interest isn’t served by anti-imperialist movements bogging down the North Atlantic?

Not directly, the way they are by inspiring coups in Africa. This isn’t Sankara, man. Russia is an empire engaging in recanchism. It’s asinine to think of them as an ally in anything anti authoritarian

You think a coup is anti-authoritarianism? A military coup? Are you daft? It’s an absolutely authoritarian response to centuries of authoritarian dominance. Russia is fighting the imperialist bloc, African nations are fighting the imperialist bloc. They are allies in the fight against imperialism, not against authoritarianism. Only liberals in the West analyze things along “authoritarian” lines.
