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.

Why not both? Russian invaded Ukraine and the US is using it as a proxy war.

Why not both?

Screw Russian invaders, but we (NATO) are funding the defense of Ukraine. Give credit where credit is due!

And if we happen to put Russia on its knees, begging China and India to ass fuck them, then so be it. Shall there one day be peace on the Ukrainian-Chinese border!
