Pretty sure a country that’s committing mass genocide with imperial ambitions who commits daily war crimes and meddles in other countries’ affairs to sow division and distrust is very clearly “the bad guy”. How can you claim otherwise? You can’t “both sides” the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Yeah. And who keeps giving all those weapons and money to Israel while they are carrying out a genocide?

Let’s face it. A single country can be the bad guy in one situation and the good guy in another.

Also, it’s always funny when the US accuses other countries of foreign interference and genocide, because they surely had no problem doing that to Latin America.

I can’t think of a lot of situations where Russia would be the good guy tbh

You need to research about African decolonization movements back in the 60’s.

When African countries declared themselves independent they mostly got support from the USSR, while the US and the west in general acted in a very hostile way.

Anti-apartheid movements got labelled as “terrorists” by the US, but on the contrary, received a lot of support from Russia.

Ir certainly says something that nobody in the west opposed apartheid until socialism was no longer a threat in the 90’s

You realize that it was the Sovjets that turned WW2 around and paid most of the blood for Europe to be freed from the Nazis? About 20 Million of the victims of WW2 were Sovjets. About another 10 Million were Chinese. The western Allies had a very chill WW2 compared to what these countries and their people sacrificed against the Germans and Japanese.
