Tankies love Putin almost as much as they love China. Their excuse is that as an enemy of the US he can basically do nothing wrong, and they regurgitate his propaganda on a daily basis. Chapotraphouse is a bunch of tankies as tankie as the members of lemmygrad or lemmy.ml.

Chapos just loves to gaslight, and generally behave on the internet like they have learnt everything they know from the_donald.
