@awwwyissss @Nerorero, I have nothing against Russian people, but a lot against certain Russian people

Yeah, the Kremlin gets the blame because they've forcefully consolidated decision-making power.

Pro-Soviet (no longer exist) ≠ pro modern Russia

Against continued war in Ukraine ≠ pro Russia

The history of the Soviet Union is not great BTW

Also tankies do in general support Russia

I'm not saying all leftist are tankies (I'm a leftist) but what I am saying is that all tankies claim to be leftist while simultaneously supporting fascist and their imperialism.
