That's a whole lot of words to say "capitalist Russia sucks in the same ways as every other place we've destabilized, and I have done no inquiry into the causality behind why because it confirms my priors to simply believe that "Russians" (which russians?) are just ontologically bad somehow"

Granting your nazi ass a seriousness it doesn't deserve for a second to talk to the other libs, this is where nationalism brain fails as a way of viewing the world. All you can talk about is Russia this and Ukraine that, as if we're talking about hive minds. All liberals do this, implying a unity that doesn't exist to paper over the reality of class warfare that actually drives these wars. As long as your analysis is built on assumptions of countries as single unified beings (a fairy tale for children) you will always fail to grasp the real causes of state actions.
