Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.

authoritarianism

gotta be my favorite way to dismiss any use of state power I don't agree with

Russia is deeply authoritarian, and built on the oppression of the people by the State and capital. What would you consider authoritarianism to be?

Authoritarianism is when sovereign and not ruled by westerners (according to the way imperialists use the word)

Its a good thing (for us, not for you)

Russia is literally ruled by westerners. Both in a colonial sense (Siberia is a colony), political (they're an oligarchy) and in the geopolitical one.

If their oligarchs don't create wars how else is Lockheed Martin supposed to sell missile?

Putin is literally the tsar.
