There isn’t a single military on the planet that doesn’t have some sort of racial supremacy group in it. Tankies be tankingxi.jinping
The Ukraine war needs to end. The only good thing about it is when both sides’ Neo-Nazis slime each other.Being totally honest I don’t get the love a lot of tankies have for post-1985 Russia to be honest. The country is basically a giant gas station with nukes, being run by the people who destroyed socialism there. This is also true of other post-Soviet republics, regardless if they’re western-aligned or not
I don’t even know if that’s necessarily disqualifying to be a tankie. They don’t have to like Russia, they just have to hate “The West” more aka “NATO aggression”. More serious MLs don’t like the current state of Russia unless they truly believe Putin is trying to bring back the good ol’ days of the USSR.
Also the other post Soviet republics aren’t necessarily gas stations. For example, Turkmenistan is, but Ukraine is a bread stand and the Baltic states are fish markets, Belarus is a thrift store (I don’t know what they do to make money but I’ve bought some cool trinkets from there before), Georgia is a giant winery, etc.
We don’t support the capitalist Russian government, we support Russia’s right to defend itself from anti communist Russophobic Ukrainian leaders and movements who terrorized ethnically Russian Ukrainians in Crimea and the Donbas region. We support independence for the Donbas region. And the right for Russia to defend themselves against NATO, the US and their nukes
Don’t think I don’t hate the Ukrainian government too. I do. I also get why Russia doesn’t like NATO states on their border but I can’t see how invading Ukraine and bombing the place to smithereens would make them a more willing participant in Russia’s camp. It’s a propaganda victory for NATO
Yeah Putin is imperialist. Russia is in a weird position where its peak was under Communism, so the fascists, who rely on nostalgia like always, kinda look at it in a weird way. Recently I saw some propaganda poster from a Russian Neo-Nazi paramilitary group that also glorified the red army, let me see if I can find it.
The desire of ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine asking for independence in the face of intense anti Russian and anti communist persecution ever since we coup-ed their government and put in place a far right government. And Russia has also tried to negotiate with NATO for forever, they originally wanted membership and cooperation but were pushed out. NATO also went back on their promises to not expand towards Russia
