I feel like there's a lot of leftists who should be smarter than this, but they're supporting Putin and Assad and opposing any aid or intervention for Venezuela out of some reflexive off-on "anti-US, therefore good" binary, and calling it "anti-imperialism".
Like you know maybe the Islamic State is bad but Assad is also bad?? Or yes US intervention in Latin America has been ruinous but we still shouldn't let people starve?
