I understand your general sentiment, but I think calling Putin not a "bad guy" is overselling it. He's still a brutal dictator and a bourgeois scumbag, he just happens to be on the Global South's side for now. My support for him begins and ends at anti-imperialism. I'm not saying he's the devil incarnate, and he has done alot of good for Russia, but I can't not call him a useful necessary evil.
