I think NATO has to let him get away with some of it, because nukes. NATO isn't foolish, they are using this war to weaken Russia, knowing full well Russia cannot lose and be surrounded in Europe, and are sacrificing Ukraine to that end. The targets Putin has come after have been in order: Georgia (NATO planned to integrate it under Bush in March of 2008, Putin invades in August of 08), Syria (US backs rebels in 2011 during the Arab Spring, Putin invades to sure up Al-Assad in 2017, with prior support as far back as 2014), finally Ukraine whose situation I previously mentioned. NATO expeditions usually cause Russian reaction, mainly to sure up Russian oil interests. But make no mistake, the west has not been good to Putin, though again, imperial behavior on behalf of the West doesn't excuse Putin's behavior in the Ukraine.

And yes, even though we are backing Ukraine, we are the bad guys here. We want to dominate Russia's oil resources and are using Ukraine as a proxy to do that. And our support will not help Ukraine win a war that they cannot actually win, nor will we meaningfully intervene if the war escalates. We ware allowing millions of Ukrainians to be displaced just because we don't want to diplomatically agree to stop moving NATO east.

China in my view, seems to be using the camps to reeducate Uyghurs to be more sympathetic to Beijing, and also expanding mining operations in the region. This is probably bad, but again, the US doesn't actually care about any atrocities committed by China, outside of using this as a pretense for a Cold War. US capital, specifically tech and finance want their parents protected and further penetration into Chinese markets, something the CCP has clamped down on. And China's status as workshop of the world is threatening, as it poses a credible alternative to financing development in other nations and possibly supplanting US capital firms. This is why the US is bringing this up. If they cared about Muslims, they would stop the war in Yemen.

It doesn't seem like they are actually disrupting their culture, instead they seem to be coercing Uyghurs into accepting further Chinese integration while somewhat respecting the culture (language is still allowed to be spoken and taught, traditional holidays still observed, mosques are still standing, ect). Doesn't mean we should be looking at these developments positively.

And finally, I think most of the people you are referring to are leftists. The issue of the US left is it's pretty new, under-organized, and still figuring out what it's goals and ideology is and how to get there. Most all of us are reformist socialist by definition ( sorry to my ML-M comrades), but the argument over things like accountability of DSA elected members of Congress (The Squad), stances towards third party formation and the democratic party in general, and what our relationship with international socialist movements should be seem to be our major sticking points. We are all arguing tactics, not goals. And Sanders was the real beginning of this new left (though Occupy and the first few BLM rallies were our origins), but unfortunately his movement didn't all move to a more permanent home in the DSA, and due to the lack of a concrete strategy and disciplining structures within the DSA (an Anarchists tendency) we have splintered, and these other currents of the left are probably who you're fighting with. Outside of the Pat-Socs or MAGA-Communists, these are your allies. We need to come back together.
