He is not a tankie. He constantly belittles and criticizes Russia. He simply got a prediction wrong, a lot of people like you were saying the exact same shit too: "Russia will never attack Ukraine. Russia is all talk. Russia is like Kim Jong Un, always inflating their chest about dropping nukes but never doing it. Russia is all bark, no bite. Russia will never do this or that because it's actually very weak, all their weaponry is old and broken, blah blah"
If we were to judge people like you do, that'd make you a "neutered tankie" too.
