There's nothing to defend. I made a clear argument explaining what critical support is. Then you started to deny there is fascism in Ukraine, after being faced with the fact that even Poles are now talking about fascism in Ukraine you pivoted to bray about wagner. And now apparently I'm simping Putin because I'm pointing out basic facts of the situation. You have reasoning skills of a five year old on a sugar high. Go outside and think about your life choices instead of continuing to make a clown of yourself here.
You think that if people understand you perfectly they have to agree with you. The truth is your argument just doesn't hold water.
You could argue that China is a potential balancing power to American hegemony. Putin's regime is just a boil on the ass of the world. It starts imperialist wars and uses its military to forcefully extract wealth from countries like Syria and the CAR (like the Wagner operated slave gold and diamond mines).
Supporting Russia (even "critically") does nothing to further the struggle of the working class, in fact it does the opposite by giving Russia leeway to start wars that kill working class people and entrenches the power of Putin and his fascist oligarchs.
Furthermore, Russian "resistance" (i.e belligerence) only provides justification for the expansion of NATO. Their warmongering causes Finland to join. I'd also argue that the lives of people living under Putin are worse than those living under US hegemony. So what is your goal? Replace bad with worse?
Finally, Russia has no capability for defending third world nations, with civil activists on boats providing more aid to Cuba and Palestine than Russia has in a decade.
Where did I deny there is fascism in Ukraine? Every country has dickheads that dress up like Nazis. Do the existence of ultras in Poland or skin heads in Latvia justify an invasion of those countries to you? As I mentioned, the Russian state literally operates a neo-Nazi paramilitary group but you don't seem to have a problem with it.
My point was the hypocrisy and straight up lies you use to justify imperialist wars. A point that is clear to you but you can't address because it crumbles your worldview.
You're literally repeating Russian state propaganda verbatim with no critical thinking.
No, I think that you're a debate bro who's full of shit and has no clue regarding the subject you're yapping about. The irony of you writing all that drivel and then saying I have no critical thinking skills is really just chef's kiss. Thanks for providing some the much needed comedy in my life.
