Hating Russia is fine. It might surprise you but I, and many other hexbear users, also hate Russia. There are a lot of issues and I'm not speaking to the beliefs of the person you were responding to, but part of my issue is that neoliberals tend to take "hating Russia" as an opportunity to swallow the most ridiculous claims made against them, including actual Nazi historical revisionism and soft Holocaust denial, and then just say "I can hate two things at once!"
This isn't directed at you -- I don't know your views -- but there are a lot of self-identifying "leftists" online who just love to disavow the US but then believe everything the US (or western bloc in general) says about its enemies. I consider this part of that broader phenomenon.
Again, not speaking for the other person or for you, just thought it was worth mentioning.
