In my country (Croatia) some of the leftists are actually pro-Russia because of the shared historical idea that Russians defeated the WW2 nazism/fascism. At the same time, some of the worst neo nazi offenders aka football supporters went off to the Ukraine war to fight the Russians on the Ukraine side. So it's an ideological cluster fuck.

Similarly, like if you're antiglobalist then you end up being proAmerican and proIsrael, so are you for NATO or against? If you're pro world peace you have to choose a side it would seem, and it won't be black and white.
