But did you forget that Russian capitalist arms companies have to make profit?

I’ve tried to say this for years at this point, but I feel like people here have gone way to far in their “critical support” and genuinely believe they Russia is the second coming of the Soviet Union..: when they’re an opportunistic, rabidly reactionary, capitalist state. One that just so happens to be anti-US.

    Yep, I completely agree. How easy would it have been to literally shoot down just one or two IAf jets? That would have stopped their adventures in Syria long ago. But Russia still hopes for good relations with israel and the west.

    Heck what a great advertisement for their arms company if they brought down IAF jets.

    Putin is just a slightly less wimpier Gorbachev. He comes from the same anti communist circles.

    Putin is an anti-communist douchebag that has praised members of the White Army before, but alot of Russia's economic policies since the SMO have ironically been leading the country in a socialist direction, and more efficiently than capitalist countries. Not saying that Putin cares or understands that full picture, I see him as caring about efficiency.

    I think you're laying it a little hard on Russia here. Not saying that Russia is a perfect angel or is some kind of master planner or altruistic, or that Russia isn't a right-wing shithole, but I think that for now, Russia is in it's best interests to assist the Global South and when it does act, it moves mountains. It can't act every single time, it has to pick it's battles.
