If I understand them correctly and they're a tankie then there's nothing wrong about this statement in their eyes, in their view the left side is very right wing conservative and the right side is moderate conservative "liberal" but none are "the left" so to them they're not attacking left wing anything.
They aren't serious political actors with consistent or defensible positions, they are nationalist campists if not outright propagandists.
The only acceptable Western leader to them is one that will cause the most internal chaos and self-destruction while leaving BRICS (mostly China and Russia) alone. Left-right politics has little to do with it. They don't want us to coalesce into progressive countries, they want us to collapse and suffer.
The only acceptable western leader to me is one who leaves BRICS alone. Partly because I live in it, and partly because it now contains the majority of the world. Also at least don't enable literal genocide. I definitely don't want them to cause internal chaos wherever they leave, but destroying the World Bsnk / IMF and other instruments of neocolonialism would be nice.
