I am getting less tolerant of those that remain sympathetic to Russia since the start of the invasion. There has always been a useful idiot symptom of people who see Russia as a foil to an 'imperialistic' West and NATO, especially on the left, but the way people now contort themselves to continue to find a reason to equivocate on Russia invading Ukraine makes me think it's not naive at all. They know who Putin is and they like it.

What's new is these tankies on the left have been joined by right-wing anti-establishment conspiracy theorists who idolise dictators like Putin.
