I mean, he's not factually wrong, just framing it in reverse. Russia is indeed trying to colonize Ukraine to maintain their dominion which is slipping through their hands. It's just not using neocolonial methods but good old armed conquest.
And the people in favor of a fairer distribution of global benefits aren't the people he's thinking of. I mean it's also clearly not the US, but "taking what Ukraine has and giving it to Russian Oligarchs" is also not a fairer distribution.
You know what they say about the right: every accusation is a confession.
These guys might be the most self-aware wolves to have ever wolfed
They also seem to be having their faces eaten by leopards, for some reason.
What's the difference between Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs?
As of right now? Armed military conquest and homophobic conspiracy theories.
Even IF ukrainian oligarchs were a problem...
Ukrainian oligarchs can get at ukrainian money without waging a war of aggression that causes nearly 30thousand civilian casualties.
