only one of these countries is imperialist.
only one of these countries is a waning world hegemon with it's boot on the neck of the planet and 900 military bases worldwide.
the other has been forced into a position of fighting and weakening the hegemon, and therefore warrants critical support. This is why Africa, China and and the middle east support Russia in this war: every NATO tank and drone destroyed in Ukraine is one less to menace people elsewhere, one less to enforce murderous sanctions and austerity. The logic is very simple if you understand cause, effect and scale.
