Both honestly. I’m curious how people mean to oppose US imperialism, and how they mean to criticize US Empire and their meddling while avoiding the “Russia supporter” label. I suspect the answer is either:

a) Russia is the worst imperialist, Putin is like Hitler and any diplomatic solution is futile because they never keep to their deals and will invade Europe and others if unchecked. So we have to shield the US empire from criticism in this case because it’s the lesser of two evils

b) Any opposition to more weapon and materiel support for Ukraine makes the war take longer and cause more damage, and if criticism of US role in Ukraine were to vanish, Ukraine could win the war quickly

c) Because there has been so much agitprop that Russia pumped into the internet for the last two decades, and because of paranoia that everyone is a bot or a shill, arguing about this is as pointless as arguing with a climate denialist. The left is only going to accept mainstream liberal news and “safe” majority social media trends and reject anything else out of hand. Nobody has time and energy searching and reading and analyzing the dissident views.

Obviously I don’t agree with either of those, but I’m honestly curious and maybe I’ve missed something.
