    I guess my question is more, what is Trump saying that is the same as Tankies? Trump isn’t anti Capitalist.

      Both spread Russian propaganda.

      Examples - Ukraine started the war. Putin is not a dictator. Western/NATO expansion is aggressive encroachment and Russia has a sovereign duty to defend itself.

      This last one is funny considering Russia no longer controls those territories and Russia themselves are the invaders.

        Putin is definitely a dictator who started the war, and invaded Ukraine.

        But doesn’t every country have the right to defend itself? (Not that Russia is ‘defending itself’ in this case)

          I don’t know why you’re asking a question that you answered. Yes they do, but that’s not what Russia is doing. That’s their excuse and it makes no sense. Ukraine has a right to defend itself. Russia is invading.
