The comment threads here are weird. Who, in their right mind, would ever support a country like Russia? It's mind blowing.
Get out of your bubble. The majority of the world supports Russia. It's an uncommon view in Europe/USA, but common everywhere else.
Also, being anti NATO expansion doesn't mean you support Russia. That is a reductive world view.
Regardless of how many despots find Putin's approach appealing, it remains fundamentally wrong.
Why is the west not despots but the rest of the world is?
