Why would they do differently? Ignoring any moral arguments, Russia occupying NATO makes NATO or US aggression against China less likely to happen.

Hmm, why do these fascist anti-communist regimes that the US propped up hate Lenin?

Russia is a partially neoliberal bourgeois democracy(aka dictatorship of the bourgeoisie) they do stuff like invade Ukraine/Iraq/Afghanistan while being distinct enough from fascism that it is more accurate to just call them neolibs

Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, DPRK, China, are all socialist projects that have succeeded to some extent. Most of them have pretty concrete plans to fully sieze the means of production by 2050 or so.

Given that NATO is providing arms for Ukraine and NATO can’t make its weapons without China it does seem fair to also provide components to Russia.

Third, it has a broader stated policy of respecting territorial integrity and sovereignty.

It can’t do this without embargoing US weapons manufacturers, but that would be catastrophic so it makes sense that it is providing everyone instead of just the US.
