Progressive is an adjective in this context. Your characterization is misleading and incorrect.

OP clearly supports Putin's Russia as a perceived bullwark against NATO.

I didn't catch your apology for the ad hominem. Kindly reply herewith

As you acknowledge, it quite clearly states Putin's Russia plays a "progressive role."

I'd like you to apologize to me for calling me "drunk." It was ad hominem and has no place in discourse.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia bombed children's hospitals and bankrolled Trump Jr's wedding. If you and I are against imperialism, we should be against all of these things.

Could we please not resort to ad hominem attacks and insults, "Nonconfrontational"? This isn't Reddit.

Logically, I don't follow where that was specifically asked, but here's a comment calling Putin's Russia progressive: https://lemmy.ml/comment/27815508

Criticism of the USSR, Stalin, and Putin is deleted in ml instances. My deletion history proves it.

The representation was inaccurate, as 80% of the 1996 US figure quoted were on probation, not incarcerated.

It's not lazy ragebaiting to verify facts, is it?

And since you're such an expert, which Lemmy user in particular, was insulted? Why is the mere assertion that one works on behalf of an intelligence service considered an insult by a disinterested observer?
