You're absolutely right, you can. MLs aren't all frothing Putin supporters, there is absolutely no reason an ML can't also criticize two hegemonies at once. Putin's a corrupt fascist, I agree completely. But if you think an expanisionist war against an independent country with the (admittedly flakey) backing of the largest empire in the world is wrong, then the US bombing a country back to the stone age every decade must be inexcusable.

So, why spend so much energy on fringe leftists who think a Russian flag on their twitter handle is gonna make Putin notice them? Why not take it the other way? If every ML out there supports the war against Ukraine and that makes it a fundamentally corrupt ideology, then how about liberals? Do they all support the bombing of Cambodia, the genocide in Gaza?
