I did read a bit of that tankie garbage and this is the funniest bit I reached:
Russia can stop murdering Ukrainians at any time without anyone caring for Russian land or the existence of Russia. It's nothing more than a paranoid fantasy that anyone in "the West" would want to invade Russia. They could have just stuck to selling resources to Europe and the rest of the world, but instead they chose to attack their neighbour.
If you really build your world view on a foundation like this article you are completely lost - at least outside Russia. You might make a career in Moscow, though.
It's nothing more than a paranoid fantasy that Russia will invade Poland, but it seems like most people here think they will if we don't send Ukranians to their deaths..
Can you show me where the West threatend to invade Russia? Because Russians do so regularly. Calling that "paranoid" is just willfull ignorance for the sake of being an asshole.
Same for your casual insinuation that the West is "sending Ukrainians to their deaths". The only one forcing them to fight is Russians crossing the border and murdering Ukrainians.
Invading Russia = making political inroads into their historical sphere of influence. The "existential" threat to Russia is that it loses its historic colonial outposts.
