    Can you define what a “tankie” is? It absolutely is red scare bs. No one calls themselves that.

      People who cheered the tanks rolling into the Czech Republic and Hungary…they’re the same ones hoping Russia would roll over Ukraine to spite the liberal world order. Tankies are alive and well.
