    I haven’t seen this that often tbh. Is there really a lot of Pro Russia sentiment?

    Genuine question, is anti-nato anti-imperialism the same as “pro Russian” I’m not anti-nato however I can understand the sentiment

      In practice, they usually go hand in hand.

      The people who are “anti NATO”, or claim it is an imperialist organisation, almost always proceed to make excuses for Russia’s actions, or blame NATO for trying to expand for the invasion of Ukraine.

      No, there’s no pro-Russian sentiment, the people crying about “tankies” just consider all anti-Western sentiment to be inherently “pro-Russian”
