That's definitely the case with my ex. He used to parrot the "Russia had to invade Ukraine because NATO! It was self defence!" and I'm pretty sure he was just parroting whatever he heard on Joe Rogan and the other far right rabbit holes that led him to.
Do you know how many people of Russian descent the Ukrainian government murdered prior to Russia invading?
Well at least they're your ex.
Sounds like he was a fascist, not a tankie.
I don't think you know what a tankie is.
The west bad, Russia less bad. I don't see how this is controversial. How many unjustifiable wars and how many dead civilians has the west produced in the last 75 years?
The person you are describing is a supporter of fascism, which is the opposite of a "tankie", a far-left view, but both might approve of Russia.
"tankies support fascism"
thats a new one
What 0 political education does to a motherfucker, lol.
