Regarding this article, while I don't agree with the thrust or orientation, I do believe that the far let has to be more critical of Putin and his policies and military role. We can criticize the military-intelligence apparatus and its endorsement of Hillary and its attack on Trump (not for the right reasons) while also maintaining a critical stance of Russian government. This of course should be done in conflict with the crazy mainstream media's coverage of Russia and its agitation for a return to the Cold War.
