"Anti-imperialists" can't help but lick the boots of authoritarian regimes if it helps them grind their axe with the US. They won't stop the apologism because it's not about being right or wrong.

The US will do everything that matches their strategic interests including alliances with authoritarian regimes. Everyone has their own agenda. There’s no right or wrong.

Providing token aid to a sovereign country being invaded by an objective enemy aggressor is not that.
