You and other' Chamberlain' apologists for Putin including a number of Republican representatives are selectively ignoring the brutal elephant in the room. The history of imperialist Russia goes back to Czarist Russia's brutal attempts to dominate Eastern Europe at all costs. and the brutalizing of the Ukrainian people by attempts at ethnic cleansing to make a 'Fatherland' for ethnic Russians.
The NATO and US support is for the Ukrainian people first, which you and others turn a cold shoulder to in the brutal fate of Ukranians at the hands of Russia. Corruption exists, yes, but there is corruption by oligarchs world wide including the US.
The Conservative Putin apologists in the USA including complementing Putin's actions in the past fail to provide an alternative to dealing with the systematic brutalizing the Ukrainian people by Russia for imperialist gains, Putin does appeal to traditional Russian claims of domination going back to Czarist Russia.
Being opposed to corruption is a lame excuse for ignoring the brutal reality of the Russian invasion.
