communists who support prague spring, etc. as being necessary for the revolution. (hence, tanks, tankies)
Belarus isn't even communist. These comments are just raw anti-americanism, not even tied to any imagined ideology.
Oh no, now you've done it!
Tankies are people in the west who make excuses for crimes committed by Communist or Leftist dictators in the past such as saying Mao Zedong was good or Pol Pot wasnt bad ect.
It does often get abused by Capitalists in the West however to label anyone who says something positive about aspects or reforms in Communist countries such as oil nationalization or anti-colonialism as "being a tankie".
Tankies are people in the West who will dogmatically support communist regimes (originally the USSR), no matter how authoritarian they get. This is unlike pinkos, who like communism on principle, but are uncomfortable with the more extreme actions taken by those regimes.
