There's a certain demographic of self-described "leftists" who end up being pro-Russia because they are anti-US and see Russia as the opposition to the US.

I'm curious to see if they're able to mentally reconcile a possible geopolitical future where full fash USA and Russia become allies. Are they so pro-Russia that they become pro-USA, or are they so anti-USA they finally become anti-Russia?

Or do they just stick their heads in the ground and pretend like nothing is happening because their US vs Russia worldview cannot support real life geopolitics?
