Tankies are Russian and Chinese imperialists. They hate America for its imperialism, but love Russia and China for theirs. They're also very pro-genocide while simultaneously denying genocides.

AnCaps want a stateless society, but it is a misdirection to install neo-feudalism. For some reason they believe they'll be on top.

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.
