So, the taken is, as China and Russia are very evil, it's OK if the US is evil (but just a bit less than the other actors).

I though they (the US?) were aiming to be better. Like, the "great" in MAGA wasn't like in "great empire". /s

I believe the argument is, this can simultaneously be a bad thing yet the best achievable outcome within the current reality.

In other words, the point is that the hypothetical good choice is not actually on the menu.

I will note a similarity to the US political situation with respect to people who, rather than choose the lesser of two evils, opt not to vote entirely.

Nevertheless, that doesn't mean humanity shouldn't strive for better.
