    See the Tankie mindset in action:

    • Imperialism is bad.
    • US is bad.
    • US hates Russia.
    • Russia is good.
    • Imperialism is good.

      Most of us don’t even hate Russia, just the authoritarian criminalistic regimes, and communism I guess, but I’m sure we would get over that like we did with China. Also a solid percentage of American Right wingers suddenly love Russia, for all of the wrong reasons.

      Hate is just such a strong word when it comes to geopolitics, because one day your enemy could wind up your friend.

      Although not that Tankies/Nazis are known for their thinking abilities.

        I hate Russia. It’s always been crappy and always been a stain on Europe, and a brutal empire. It was that way under the Tsars, it was that way under the Bolshevists, and it is that way now as a fascist hellhole

        My attitude to Russia and China are the same: nice place, shame about the government

          For that matter there are lots of other countries that would fit that description even though the bad things their governments do are bad in different ways and to different degrees.
