An interesting take on the current events in Bangladesh that i think is worth considering but i'm not sure that i agree with this perspective. Honestly i just don't know enough yet about the situation and i will reserve judgement until i do.

Is it sus? All you have to complain about him is regarding a soft treatment of Myanmar's military (a soft bias, perhaps- but is the article in itself inaccurate or particularly misleading?)

The Russian side in this war, is in every way the honest and justified side in this war. It would be another thing entirely if they had a NATO or Ukraine flag on their profile; in a similar fashion to how it would be if someone had an Isntreal flag (whereas having a Palestine flag simply means one is at least in some extent of a decent human being who stands against genocide)

It is sus. Not hard right reactionary, not listening to him because he's a chud, but sus. AFAIK the former president of Bangladesh wasn't a leftist, and there were genuine gripes.

I just looked up a situation a know a bit more about (Myanmar), and found him defending the military junta doing genocide against quite a few minority groups there.

I take Russia's side in the war. But they're still a capitalist mini imperialist state.

Personally flipflopped between downvoting you or not (currently have not, if I did it would be -3 atm). The reason being, I wholly disagree with your characterization of Russia as a "mini imperialist" state. Are they capitalist? Yes, undeniably and tragically so. Are they reactionary? Domestically at least, yes, though it must be said that the western-backed alternatives (like Navalny) are infinitely more so. But when you look at it- they retain the inclusive, federation (civilization) state model that the Soviets established, their minorities have meaningful and substantial semi-autonomy as well as a say and stake in the collective state, and their policies as such- domestically as well as (especially) in foreign affairs- I do not think can be called "imperialist."

I'm not getting in this debate. I already said that I take Russia's side in the conflict. To look at all of Russia's military adventures since 1991, the hard line they're taking against actual communist peace activists, all of the monopoly capitalism that's taking place, and whinge when a fellow Marxist makes a nuanced "mini imperialist" comment. If people want to look at this, ignore all my posting history, and assume that I'm anti Russia and pro US, then I'm not wasting time on you.

Literally all of Russia's "adventures" since 1991 were reactions for the NATO agressions, coups, encroachments, terror funding.
