(57,314 posts)hated America or "blamed America first." I've been highly critical of US foreign policy throughout my life. However, my opposition was based on evidence, not uncritical recitation of propaganda. And I certainly didn't then turn around and work to justify for another country what I opposed by the US. If someone claims to be anti-war, how can they then work to justify war by Russia? And why do they think opposing potential US intervention requires whitewashing Russia? Merely making a comment about Putin generates accusations that you are "pro-war." What kind of limited thinking imagines the only possibility is the US as the evil aggressor and Russia as the guys in white hats? It's like their whole vision of foreign policy is based on simplistic notions of good vs. bad guys from Hollywood movies.
