It's a comment on the internet, chances are they aren't even from Australia.
They don't, generally, however Russian astroturfing is a staple of the internet these days.
I can't imagine there are many.
Leftists obviously won't support Putin because he's a right-wing authoritarian. The right wing's favourite Prime Minister in recent memory literally threatened to "shirtfront" Putin, so I doubt they support him.
I think the pro-Russian propaganda line has been that Ukraine attacked Russia first, at least that's what Jackson Hinkle said the last time I checked (shudders)
It is propaganda all the way down.
Most internet media folks are literally just grifters. Jackson Hinkle has flipped positions on the Russia-Ukraine conflict a dozen times.
For Tucker I suspect that he agrees with Putin on most cultural issues, but probably disagrees slightly on his authoritarian practices. I don't watch him much tho so I don't know for sure.
