Russia opposes many foreign policy projects in the middle east and other places. Syria and many other examples. Russia really doesn’t play ball.
And this probably isn’t a reason for “them” but personally I hate Putin’s Russia for spreading first climate denial and for decades not agitprop propaganda and supporting fascist actors in many European countries. Our neoliberal for-profit plutocrat owned social media network have had a massive negative effect on democracy, mostly because actors like Russia use the opportunity that profit oriented social media isn’t going to pay for moderators or detecting botnets.
I would have much preferred peace instead of the US and Nato instigating the Ukraine war (Russia simply had no choice but to attack, imagine what the US would do with a China aligned Mexico) but it’s not really like I give a shit about Putin’s Russia. It’s just that neither the Ukrainians or Russian people deserve to suffer and die, or how much wealth is transferred for this stupid war, or the long term negative consequences of a radicalized fascist Ukraine will have on Europe, or the complete conformism of all “left” media and leftists denial or reality. Anyways
When I was young, I remember talks about Russia joining NATO. We decided we needed an adversary and the MIC and the construction sector and banks love destroying countries so they can rebuild them.
why would the US want to replace Putin, it was the US that helped his rise to power.

Because he stopped playing ball, that’s all it takes for the US to want to overthrow you.
