Velvet opinions are totally run out of the mill for old school latinamerican leftists. It appears unusual for y'all because the kind of people who usually spouse them is not the kind of people that know English or are cosmopolitan enough to talk about world politics in the internet.
Velvet opinions are what my grandmother would think of world politics if she became interested on the topic.
In any case, knee-jerk anti-US contrarianism is honestly the least you should expect after all the f**ery the US has done in Latin America. For these people Russia's war is as distant as hearing about the civil war in Myanmar, meanwhile the US was directly involved in ruining their lives. Of course, Red Velvet should know better but even for me is hard to have much sympathy for the West sometimes.
