That notorious RIA Novosti article has been translated in full into English. As naked an endorsement of genocide as you'll read in a state-owned media organ:
What happened in the primary?
Beto O’Rourke proposed $1.5 trillion in new federal spending on climate change and a 30-year timeline to reach net zero emissions and got attacked from the left — a move that attracted praise as savvy politics by Sunrise.

Something I think about is Trump was recorded saying he sometimes does sexual assault and then a bunch of women said “yeah, that’s true, he did that to me” and then he won the election and now you’d be considered a tedious crank if you act like these charges are a big deal.
@cstross Anyone using the United States as the standard for appropriate behavior has lost the thread anyway. We’re the world’s policeman; pulling people over on a pretext, planting drugs and shooting them if they protest when we impound their car
seems like overkill to buy a 64-pack of Pixel Coke when you could just buy a single Sprite instead https://t.co/tZ2rAJukzW

Read the transcript of what the Russian ambassador said at the U.N. It's as batshit as it gets; Ginny Thomas-meets-Alex Jones stuff. But if the part of his rant that claims they've taken 600k Ukrainians including 119k children to Russia is actually true, that's a mass kidnapping.
I mean that I support the funneling of weapons to Ukraine, a country that is using those weapons to fend off an unprovoked invasion by its larger neighbor Russia.
I do not favor a ~~policy~~ of regime change vis a vis Russia, but the regime there is bad.
