Anywhere else in the world, Ukraine, Afghanistan, Iraq, Haiti or other countries, should not be a sacrifice zone for Canada and the United States, just as the Indigenous territories of the Americas shouldn't have been a sacrifice zone for invading European empires (including Russia) and shouldn't remain as such for the Euro-American settler states who never left.
It should be ok for anarchists to disagree on certain points and positions. But this does not require lying about what those positions actually are.
By the way, I posted a link to and quote from the Autonomous Action statement Against Annexations and Imperial Aggression here:
