Do you think it's OK to invade any country every time it's leading party loses the grip on power? Or is it only true for Russia's neighbors?
If they're fascist aligned then yeah. I think fighting fascism is a good thing.
Russia is a far-right petrostate that produces a disproportionate number of the world's billionaires while crushing internal dissent, killing & imprisoning critics of the regime.
It sure seems dumb to support a far-right invasion of a sovereign country if you consider yourself a leftist.
I know what they are, and the term for when one supports the weaking of capitalism is called critical support. Now I'd as the same for you, would you support a far-right nation or a fascist nation that's being used by the largest capitalist economic empire that's being used to attack its competition? The US is pumping out the most trillionares at this point, which are more centralized than the billionares in Russia.
The US being a far-right imperialist hellhole is no excuse for Russia to be a far-right imperialist hellhole.
It's really not that hard to understand.

I am not saying it isn't
