Yep. That is who is in charge breaking things and killing people right now.
Sorry, when guys with AKs show up, they are rarely liberators.

And mostly you are correct.
They no more want their current government than we wanted Obama or Sleepy Joe.
But in our case that can be changed with an election.

And if you want to limit it to just comparing governments then ours is still no better right now. Open your damn eyes.
The US govt is destroying cities, killing civilians and busing them back to the US homeland?
Where is this happening?
Well to be clear, I wasn't arguing that their government isn't bad and destructive, just that Russia is not a communist country, which is 100% accurate. Putin is simply a strongman, a dictator. He's closer to a drug cartel leader than any sort of ideological communist and even if he is the Russian population absolutely does not live in a communist system. It's nothing like China and North Korea or the USSR.
And even Putin himself is certainly no more truly communist than Obama's gang that are actually running our country behind the scenes. And they're a
far bigger danger to us. You might as well have been saying in 1991 that we should go into Iraq because they're "communists". I mean, it's just plainly wrong unless you take a comical "everyone I don't like is a communist" view.
In regards to the US government, I guess let's review in the near future to see if they're at least partially responsible for creating the virus and lying about how it was released and that killed millions of people around the world and did untold amounts of economic and societal destruction before we start bragging that we're the good guys.
And as far as true communism, our own government in the last few years alone has arbitrarily shut down businesses, arrested people for going to church, held political prisoners for years, is hellbent on disarming the population and squashing free speech, is punishing successful people at every opportunity, only champions equality of outcome instead of merit, possibly (because I'm still a bit skeptical) orchestrated a fraudulent national election, has nearly the entire media as a state propaganda arm, and is doing everything possible to crush capitalism at every turn. And you want to worry about "communists" on the other side of the world that are not even communists?
You want more bodies? Our own government has openly enabled the flow of drugs into this country that's killing 100,000 per year minimum, not counting the additional damage.
On purpose.
