The context of all things was a Jacobin article saying that Russia has imperial interests too, and it’s reasonable to think that they will act according to their imperial interests, and it’s unreasonable to think that they will just abandon their interests, because the US wouldn’t either
What made it extra annoying was the arrogance that is typical of shitlibs
Thinking back, you never know whether you are debating a smug 16 year old online, though my guess would be that the person was mid-20s
