The comment threads here are weird. Who, in their right mind, would ever support a country like Russia? It's mind blowing.

Tankies.

BRICS. Even if they don’t necessarily support Russia it may just be an opportunity to take shots at the West.

Tankies claim to not be supporting Russia but only point out issues with Ukraine and believe every bit of info that comes out of Russia.
