I'm trying to learn more about the Russia/Ukraine conflict. In the articles that I find that seem to be critical of Ukraine, there are a few that are right wing that seem to have similar viewpoints as what I've read on here or in the more leftist articles.

For example this piece from National Interest, or this from the CATO institute.

There are others that aren't flagged as right wing that are critical, but it's just got me wondering, why would right wing politicians/publications perceive these things similarly to how some communists would when the ideologies of both are so extremely opposite?

Disclaimer: I'm not pro-ukraine at all, but in my search for info that's not super pro-Ukraine propaganda, this is the stuff that comes up for me

Russia is the strongest military on Earth probably at this time and is absolutely not irrelevant, you sound like the libs who called them a gas station masquerading as a nation. Russia outproduces all of EU and America in war production by orders of magnitude. Stop looking at GDP numbers.

The EU being cannabalized is a long term loss for the anglo-American empire as it’s weaker than ever.

Also if the goal was to separate Russia from China or weaken Russia they have only accomplished the opposite
