Tankies are Russian and Chinese imperialists. They hate America for its imperialism, but love Russia and China for theirs. They're also very pro-genocide while simultaneously denying genocides.
AnCaps want a stateless society, but it is a misdirection to install neo-feudalism. For some reason they believe they'll be on top.
I guess my question is more, what is Trump saying that is the same as Tankies? Trump isn't anti Capitalist.
Both spread Russian propaganda.
Examples - Ukraine started the war. Putin is not a dictator. Western/NATO expansion is aggressive encroachment and Russia has a sovereign duty to defend itself.
This last one is funny considering Russia no longer controls those territories and Russia themselves are the invaders.
Putin is definitely a dictator who started the war, and invaded Ukraine.
But doesn't every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is 'defending itself' in this case)
I don't know why you're asking a question that you answered. Yes they do, but that's not what Russia is doing. That's their excuse and it makes no sense. Ukraine has a right to defend itself. Russia is invading.
