If we are playing that game, what about the US blowing up Nordstream 2 pipeline to try and force the Europeans to buy overpriced LNG, which is substantially more climate intensive than gasified NG in pipelines.
Aside from the Russians, which is a complicated geopolitical case, which right-wing governments do you think the Chinese support?
Russia is of course the military friend, but I wouldn’t expect them to become a progressive environmental force anyway.
Clearest connections are with Hungary and euro parties such as AfD, True Finns, etc. One could argue that the net effect is not huge to prop up climate change deniers to obstruct governments around the globe, but it does raise eyebrows.

Nobody was talking about the US.
Yes and no, it’s all part of the same worldview debate
The US did not blow up the Nordstream pipeline, the Ukrainians did. We get your point though, china good everyone else bad via literal whataboutism.
I hadn’t read that account from WaPo before, I find it plausible
No, we’re not playing any game.
