Gotcha, so you meant the latter and are being deliberately obtuse:
You said that you’ve never heard anyone say “nato is going to save us” that wasn’t a “tankie.” “Tankie” is just a pejorative for those that support existing socialism, but “tankies” don’t support NATO. Are you saying you think these “tankies” support NATO, or that these “tankies” are claiming liberals think NATO will save them from the US Empire?
There was, that’s why I asked, giving the 2 most plausable interpretations. Being intentionally vague and obtuse just adds unnecessary friction to coming to an understanding.
I’m asking you what you meant by your statement. This tactic of being extremely cagey after making a vaguely inflammatory statement doesn’t mean you made your comment with no purpose and nothing to say.

You’re free to clarify, but being this intentionally obtuse is frustrating to deal with.
