    US adminstrations (quite independently of whatever party mask they wear) have a long tradition of supporting “they’re Nazis but they’re our Nazis” governments (remember Pinochet or even Saddam when he was “our guy”) and there really is no reason to expect they would change now.

    You see this relativisation of Evil all around, by the way: notice how Germany’s “Never again” turns out to really be “Jews are just like us” rather than “This should never be done again to anybody, anywhere” hence their sanctioning of Russia - who are targetting “people like us” - right next to their “unwavering support” of the Fascists targetting “those not like us” (or, as they call them over there, “human animals”).
