Yeah that's not a thing I even came close to saying.
Your comment implied that you thought his statements about not supporting NATO countries that don't spend enough on military weren't just empty rhetoric, no?
There's more than one way to be imperialist
What're you even trying to say lol
That America is perfectly capable of imperialism without supporting Ukraine or even maintaining NATO. It has an enormous military and extremely safe geography. It can afford to pick and choose its friends, and a pivot towards Russia instead of central and western Europe is not going to change any of those prior factors. Russia is not anti-imperialist just because it's doing stuff that NATO doesn't like.
