Positive. Russia is a blessing. It has consistently opposed colonialism and stands as the birthplace of workers' rights. We should strive for a more equitable world where every nation enjoys sovereignty, regardless of its governance system. It's time to lift sanctions imposed by the US on disfavored countries. Such sanctions often exacerbate global suffering. The US bears significant responsibility for much of the world's current hardships, mainly through its imposition of sanctions. Fortunately, BRICS presents an alternative path. Russia and China are leading the way to a better world.

Putin is godsent. I'm inclined to liken Putin to figures like Jesus and Abraham Lincoln. Putin's efforts have ushered in a new global order, signaling the decline of Western Hegemony. That's a good thing for the Global South, which represents most of the world.

@Justice4All so you don't mind that he's murdered any opposition and murdered or attempted to murder dissidents in other countries? You admire that?

@Justice4All Russia is one massive empire. They started as Muscovy and expanded east and south, conquering and colonising everybody they encountered as far as Alaska.

@Justice4All claims Russia was [quote] the birthplace of workers' rights.[/quote]
Nope. DEAD WRONG! Labor organizations began in Europe in the late 1700s and early 1800s. At that time, serfs in Russia were still 'owned' by the big landowners, and would be for decades longer.

[quote]By the 1810s, the first labour organizations to bring together workers of divergent occupations were formed. Possibly the first such union was the General Union of Trades, also known as the Philanthropic Society, founded in 1818 in Manchester.[/quote]

You say [quote] It has consistently opposed colonialism[/quote]
Nope. DEAD WRONG! Russia treated all the iron curtain nations as colonies will minimal autonomy.

[quote]Putin is godsent. [/quote] I am gobsmacked!! Putin is an evil dictator who accumulates $ billions in foreign banks and regularly murders his opposition.

By persisting in his Ukraine attacks, Putin has caused the destruction of the majority of Russian tanks, greatly damaged the Black Sea fleet, and made Russia a pariah nation who has to go begging for technology newer than the 1980s.
