Am new to the term tankie. Would Roger Waters count as one?

Dont know who that is…

But would he be willing to enforce his ideology with a barrel of a tank

Roger Waters is ex Pink Floyd. He performs large concerts and is therefore influential.

Both Ukraine and Russia have tanks. Aren’t both sides tankies by your definition? Both sides would deny they are fighting for an ideology.

Ukraine is on defensive. Right to self defense is a natural right above any law.

But funny you bring up russia here

The term tankie is rooted in USSR enforcing communism in Hungary and Czechoslovakia with invasions and some pictures of tanks in their capitals.

Russia is still doing its thing. Tankie inherently won’t accept you having your ideology. But us history could also be labeled as a tankie since we have invaded countries to spread democracies 🤡
