        Of course. as long as you use the liberal the definition of tankie which is ‘everyone who disagrees with US foreign policy’

        Real answer: I guess Tito? lol

        Can someone who justifies russian imperialism and promotes russian propaganda copytext be considered a tankie? :)

        In all seriousness, Chomsky is not tankie.

        That being said, what’s with the association with US oligarchs involved with abuse of minors and happy photos with US authoritarians?

          Chomsky is anti-Russia too, what are you talking about?

          Answer my question first: were there any “tankies” on Epstein’s plane? Chomsky isn’t one, so name one.

          Those that support Russia aren’t actually left wing they are just claiming to be. So I guess it depends on the definition of tankie.

            I remember you, you were the one calling for a genocide of Russia and calling any one opposed a tankie
