        i wrote this in this thread but basically we use the term “critical support”, meaning we dislike modern russia in general but support its current goals of pushing back US influence.

        this helps us because every time the US interferes anywhere that isnt the west, we end up much worse off than before. this can be for a variety of economic and political reasons, but we generally call it imperialism or neocolonialism.

        my own country was interfered with recently and we are still reeling from it.
