    Usually it’s the American army (or their proxies) rolling their tanks into communist countries.

      Cool. That’s not what Tankie means. And the Tankies like it when certain countries do the same thing. Just not the Western ones.

        I know it’s not what tankie means, not like it matters since it’s misapplied all the time. I just find it funny how the term has tank in it, and it’s often used by people who support the US, but the US has the highest military budget in the world by far.
