The enemy of my enemy is my friend. He is going to support whoever opposes the US. Yes, including countries waging war of aggression and committing war crimes to no end.
He doesnt give a shit about Ukraine and its people by the way.
Second: Its the new alt right who, for some time (and its quite a big talking point to them here in Germany) are obsessed with re-orienting European politics, with getting rid of the US and looking towards Russia (which is european, arguably). This is in and of itself not an idea to be outright dismissed, but what these nuts are doing is just trying to replace one (perceived) oppressor with another one. Looking for cooperation with CURRENT Russia, basically a dictatorship, where you have little to no personal freedoms, which is utterly corrupt and inefficient.
THATS insane and i really dont know how people are able to put blinders on and ignore it. I guess as long you dont have live under those circumstances yourself, as long as you live under the umbrella of freedom, its easy to preach from this pulpit to embrace AND PROMOTE such terrible regimes. I also think to do this is an insult to all russian peopel who have to endure this regime.
While Bel is not european afaik, he shares this insane outlook, and i would not be the least be surprised if one day it turned out to originated by Russia itself, as part of its disinformation campaign in order to create a level playing field on the international political stage.
