I wouldn’t call it a bad take on Russia and certainly nowhere near SRS or dunk tank worthy. Russia today is no USSR; accusing us of stanning Russia is something the libs do.
The word critical in critical support is there for a reason. We support the opposing US imperialism, but they’d be next on the chopping block if the US were to fall tomorrow, which is exactly the point he seems to be articulating (although he seems to have used a lot more words to say critical support than necessary)
Arguably, the more interesting part is his views on other AES countries like the DPRK here. The PRC absolutely has a great strategy, but I don’t think the roles of the others should be downplayed.

The most annoying is when they accuse us of stanning for Putler (or Xi), projecting their bourgeois great man theory onto us.
