    It sure is strange how they’ll support Russia, despite being a crony capitalist state, on account of the Soviet union calling itself communist and Russia being a post-Soviet successor state, but not Ukraine, even though that’s also a post-Soviet state.

      If they were using reason, they wouldn’t be fucking tankies to start with.

      Tankies are just fascists who like the color red.

      When the people are being beaten with a stick, they are not much happier if it is called “the People’s Stick”.

      China is also a crony capitalist state - they don’t exactly distribute the wealth obtained from leasing public land and operating businesses.

      They and Russia share a goal - destabilizing the west, especially the US, to gain geopolitical importance and to stifle calls for democracy and human rights.

      Ukraine isn’t on their team there.
