Critical support means supporting a nation fighting back against the other nation that has a global hegemony economically and in military as well against their proxies. We acknowledge that the Russian Federation is an oligarchy; but unlike America it doesn't have military bases surrounding and in every country around nations they are hostile toward nor dictates the actions and policy of the west which is the primary aggressor and agents of imperialism defined by Lenin.

Despite the death of the Soviet Union, it still has done more for the international working class than any settler project.

Yes exactly, but we don't have to (and shouldn't) like them. The only thing between Russia and the kind of Imperialism that the US engages in, is capacity.

China I think is our best hope, but the rise of this Russia is something to cheer only in how it undermines American hegemony.
