    There’s a reason Russia (and soviet union) largely has positive image in the third world.

        A broken clock might be showing the correct time twice a day, but you wouldn’t know if you’d only have that broken clock, because it’s broken and useless.

          Agreed; Russia is a terrorist state that has committed atrocities in Ukraine, interfered in the affairs and territorial integrity of its neighbors, and denied its own citizens basic human rights.

          In this rare instance, however, its foreign policy goal of opposing U.S. foreign policy has the side benefit of disrupting one of Trump’s blatant violations of international law. Not because Russia itself cares for a second about international law, though.
