ITT: settlers angry that they're getting called out by a despot arguably no different than the despots they uplift on "either side" of the aisle.

Our elections are rigged-- the only people allowed to make it to the finals are racist, genocidal, war-mongering, capital-extolling, military-industrially paid-for ghouls; regardless of what color tie they wear, and it's been that way for the last 50 years. Putin is capable of being a beneficiary of the same kind of rigging on his own end and being absolutely correct about how Occupied Turtle Island is rigged.

This is the essence of critical support. Two things can be right at once, and an abject bastard who is no ally can occasionally be dead on the money.
