I repeat that Russia wants not simply to dismantle US imperialism, but also would establish itself as hegemon at any opportunity, however absurdly remote such possibility may seem. Thus, defending Russia is an error.
I agree that NATO and the US carry tremendous responsibility, and that the best outcome from the present would be territorial concession as a condition for both sides concluding belligerence.
Even if you’re correct in saying Russia wants to establish itself as a new hegemon, it currently has a paltry share of the world’s financial capital, and no colonies nor neocolonies. It doesn’t have hundreds of millitary bases overseas. It could not simply replace the US Empire, and as a consequence it is better to critically support Russia over the US Empire.
