I post criticisms of Russia and China quite frequently, the critical part of "critical support" doesn't mean critical like "it's a critical attack!".

With Russia though, literally the only context where the guys who destroyed the USSR and caused the greatest non-war-related drop in human life expectancy, increase in suicide, increase in child mortality, increase in alcoholism, etc in the 20th century are a better alternative is in the context of opposing western hegemony.

Like you're not going to see a ml say anything nice about Russia, only that it's less evil than the west.
