Does the word Tankie comes from the tanks in tinnamen square?
Sort of but the talkie part originated from a Russian invasion of some country
The Hungarian Revolution of 1956, which was crushed by Soviet tanks.
How ironic that Hungary is now Russia's pawn in the EU.
Another layer of irony, US conservatives love Viktor Orban of Hungary and even I had him speak at CPAC.
A few days ago Hungary's minister of foreign affairs said that if Trump was president the war in Ukraine never would have happened because Putin feared Trump too much. What a fucking joke, can't decide which dick to suck.
