did china shoot children recently?
I dont get it.
i think its meant to be a ussr flag
russia is not close to being the ussr since the early 90s though
He didn't say they were.
He said the Russian flag is apparently based on the Soviet flag.
Have you seen the Russian Federation flag?
Hint: it'd be hard to get them confused.
they are completely different flags
Yes...
That's the point.
It's weird how people across the political spectrum think they're still the USSR
TBF, it's not like modern Russia particularly objects to the idea
It very much does.
I think people tend to confuse Russian irredentism with wanting to bring back communism when all they really want is the USSR's borders. Which were, mind you, largely the Russian Empire's borders.
If the Russian oligarchy is going to force a return to their roots I feel like they'd just bring back the monarchy.
There certainly is a socialist movement in Russia that wouldn't mind returning to a socialist state but there are very few who actually want to return to a totalitarian one, and if it's not totalitarian it's not really what people mean by the USSR, is it?
I was talking more about wanting the prestige back
Here is correction for you: it's not like Putin objects to the image of empire.
But he don't want everything else that came with USSR like good schools, good hospitals, good wages for teachers and doctors, housing for everyone. Because money spent on anything above is money not spent on his yacht.
USSR was 15 countries including Ukraine.
I mean, yes, definitely they have. But they were probably Uyghurs or something so sympathizers don't mind.
There's a lot of context clues, do we need to start making remedial memes for the slow kids?
the context clue being..? ukraine is at war with china now?
You know who Ukraine is at war with don't you? Obviously the flag is representing them. Surprised I needed to spell it out, it was already drawn in crayons for you.
russian flag is not red. it hasnt been for 3 decades, i assume you are aware of it?
if they meant to represent russia why use the chinese flag?
are you the kind of people this piece of propaganda aimed for?
Because nobody cares. Slava Ukraini. Fuck Russia.
yes you are lol
Funny how the bootlicker tankies all speak English.
funny how nazis never have the balls to say what they are
If self awareness was a disease you'd be the healthiest person alive.
k, ironic
I'm not the one out here playing apologist for a genocidal maniac. Might want to scrub up on that English if you want to keep talking tanky shit.
are you still that mad?
Never was, can't be mad at a tanky for being a moron. It's like being mad at a puppy. They don't know any better.
lol k
