I know for a lot of people a tankie is just something that they know it when they see it, however I think that it is important to think about the reason that you define something as being tankie vs just a leftist.

And it's weird that this person doesn't seem to remember that the massive U.S. military and a big coalition of other militaries couldn't defeat the very small Taliban military in 20 years of war.

I guess it's different when it's Mother Russia.
