Russia is a nation-state that acts in its own interests, which is all the dissident right in the West really wants from our own governments.
The Russian government, after three decades of provocation, is fighting a war to protect Russian interests. Western governments are engaged in perpetual proxy wars all over the world, as well as an endless economic and cultural war against the very citizens they govern, which only serves the interests of a very small elite.
Whatever anyone thinks of Putin or his actions in Ukraine, what he's done is forced the media and managerial class in the West to confront the possibility that the oligarchic Utopian monoculture that they've been so committed to is not and will never be the real world.
Sorry man but most of the russians are not interested to be at war or being sanctioned by half the world. Don't mix putin and russians.
Most of them support the war
There's no way to know what most Russians support, if they can even be bothered to have an opinion on something they have no control over. (and might be punished for) It's an American decadence that we all want to have an opinion on every issue no matter how uninformed we are about it, or how insignificant we are to the machinations of the state.
We know that Putin's ratings skyrocketed after the occupation of Crimea, wars in Donbas and Georgia, as well as bringing back Chechnya. Nothing to say that they don't support the current war. If they didn't then we'd have seen more aggressive protests.
