Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

Right, Ukraine is the aggressor when fighting Russian invaders on their soil, you’ve made that clear. And no, nobody admitted to cheating those agreements so that’s a stupid thing to say.
I’m aware of what she said but you’re deliberately misrepresenting it. The agreement was for a cease fire, and if Ukraine prepares to be attacked again following the cease fire, what’s wrong with that. That’s literally all she said.
And we all know Russia sent troops to donbass but you can pretend otherwise. Or perhaps you’re just uninformed?
