There's enough weird pro-Russian tankies around I'd believe it's at least partially native.

Why would any tankies support Russia? It's no longer a communist state anymore.

The tankie unifying ideology is something closer to “everything that is anti-US is good” rather than a coherent narrative about something that actually unifies historical or current communist dictatorships. So there tends to be a fair amount of Russian simping or Russia/US both-sides equivocation.

Dude. Who knows? They don't make the slightest amount of sense. Tanky is more just anti-west than anything meaningful now. They're braindead.

"The enemies of my enemies are my friends" - sort of thinking perhaps.
