where you see FASCIST FASCIST FASCIST (in which case why give a shit?) others see policies with important differences.
What are those important differences in your opinion?
Seriously.
hoping superpowers "don't blow each other up" doesn't help when other places are being blown up with an endgame of open-ended destruction.
Countries like israel and saudi funded clinton's campaign while lobbying for wars of aggression. Somehow this is barely controversial.
Yes there is a bloc made up of US/UK and Saudi Arabia (and other Gulf States). Israel may be part of it depending on how you look at it. their interests and the US/K and Saudi blocs coincide at the moment. Personally I think Israel is a effectively US colony masquerading as independent state, whether Israel realises or not. But they will turn to Russia if the US abandons them. Obviously they and the saudis will lobby extensively to influence US elections. Everyone (most of the US population) knows this don't they? IMO they are happy with that state of affairs and openly support it.
So what are you gonna do about the other places being "blown up"?
Canadian support for the genocidal Saudi campaign in Yemen is barely a controversy here.
But Justin is such a lovely guy. He could never do anything wrong.

More reasonably - why do you think Putin is engaging with Turkey? Clearly he wants to destabilise the EU, Nato and US Relations in the ME and in the process possibly Israel (tho probably not. Lots of Russian ex pats in Israel now.) On the face of it that isn't necessarily a bad thing for people in the ME. But he isn't doing it for the well being of the people of the ME. He is trying to rebuild Eurasia - the former USSR - tho not necessarily as a communist enitiy, more an energy based capitalist one. (Sound familiar - a superpower built on controlling the energy trade?) Most of that energy comes from fossil fuel.
Ultimately he will expect certain things from the people of the middle east and will take them regardless. Look at his career - has anything he has done given you the impression he won't?
Yet the prospect of co-operation and peace between the US and Russia is somehow supposed to be a horrible, world ending travesty? Get real
That depends. I don't really see the prospect of peace between "the US" and Russia because the USA/Israel/Saudi axis is in direct competition with Russia for the energy market in Europe. That is what is driving this conflict. There will be no peace in the middle east imo.
There will be more conflict and it will disrupt traditional (late 20th century) western oil trading as Russia tries to increase its market share of the worlds energy markets.
Likewise if you're unhappy with the devastation of the MENA and islamic world why would something like cooperation between turkey and iran be a bad thing? Not literally you joe but crappy msm propaganda is basically saying as much.
Real co operation between the MENA would involve them being independent in their ability to market their energy resources. Most of 20th century history involves Europeans or people of European descent in North America trying to prevent that. I see Russia's involvement as more of the same. Tho if Turkey and Iran play their cards right they may be able to cut Russia out and generate a bit of independent energy supply to China.
Which wouldn't be a bad thing, (and might drop gas prices in Australia as a bonus.)
