Dunking on Tankies from a leftist perspective.
A tankie is someone who defends/supports authoritarian or even totalitarian regimes who call themselves "socialist". The term originated from people supporting the 1956 invasion of Hungary by the Soviet Union. Nowadays they are just terminally online, denying genocides, and falling for totalitarian propaganda and calling such regimes "true democracies". remember to censor usernames when necessary.

You're still arguing for an invasion of a sovereign democratic (although, like most countries not without problems but they're definitely taking some massive steps for a more open society and a more transparent government... DURING A WAR) country. And the need for Russia to push through those documented fake elections for separation while they occupied the territory says everything you need to know about how legitimate this whole invasion is.
Yeah, but then it's not "the will of the people" that matters here, but maybe international law or whatever other principles.
Dude you're not making sense at this point. Like not even to yourself I mean to say.
