Finland has belatedly admitted its air force flags probably should not have a huge swastika in the middle.
The Nordic country is set to remove the symbol from the standard because its presence has created 'awkward situations with foreign visitors'.
The nation adopted the insignia as the emblem of its airborne military when it was founded in 1918.

This isn’t what shocked me about the story. What shocked me was that Finland has an Air Force.
The US 45th Infantry Division wore the swastika until 1939 when they adopted the thunderbird.
That’s all before it became the “Hakenkreutz” of The Third Reich. Their shenanigans have poisoned the more benign uses of the symbol.

I surprised that a modern day journalist even knows what a swastika looks like.
A rainbow swastika?
The Nazi swastika is backwards from the oldest symbol in the world.
Yeah I thought Finland only had submarines and that maybe there’s a country next to them called Wingland that had an airforce.

Lots of people probably had that silly little mustache Hitler sported. Notice nobody does that anymore too. Perhaps they could replace it with a pentagram.
.
It's called a toothbrush mustache. My grandfather, born in 1886, had one, prior to World War II.
I’ll take your word for it, but i can’t ever recall seeing anyone anywhere with one. I think that Hitler did it to hide a scar on his upper lip he got in a bar fight
Is it really that important? Fake news. Just quietly remove it.
Finland-watched the movie SISU. He was one bad mofo.
Sequel comes out in November. Patiently waiting.
Maybe the democrats were right about all the Nazis in America, eh? The appologist for everything anti-Russia.
This is the first I’ve heard about the Finn’s swastika.
About the only thing I’ve heard was months ago, and then two weeks ago again, that Finland is suffering major economic disruptions as a result of it’s anti-Russian policies.
Rail and port traffic dimished to bankruptcies.
Timer no longer able to be shipped on the canal.
Then the contingent of Pro-Finn’s told me I was full of it - but now it is documented in the western press.
In fact, as a result of the NATO/EU IRON CURTAIN 2.0, the west has cut itself off from over 70% of the rail traffic, e.g., energy, agricultural, and as a result most EU rail lines are now kept afloat by the governments.
The same if true of Baltic ports - they used to run at capacity, but today many of these ports that existed primarily for transit of Russian goods are devoid of profits and traffic.
In contrast, Russia has build two new Baltic ports that will by-pass the EU and send and energy around the globe.
From Germany to the east, EU countries are suffering from decisions in Brussels. It seems that Dutch-Brit, Franc and Spanish, Italian contingent of the EU was better positioned to wweather a trade war.
The Finn’s are now an economic basket case. It turns out US efforts have divided the globe. Either you are a US Orbitor or you are our Enemy.
Western Facism got a major boost when the US and Brits began hobnobbing with the Nationalist Nazi’s by design in Ukraine under Obama.
Pro-Facist apologists of Brussels and Washington....
A rainbow swastika?

Like a lot of things, the swastika was commandeered and annexed by evil forces to be a symbol for and mean something that never was originally intended and goes back 1,000s of years. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/history-of-the-swastika
From Encyclopedia….
“The word swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika, which means “good fortune” or “well-being.” The motif (a hooked cross) appears to have first been used in Eurasia, as early as 7,000 years ago, perhaps representing the movement of the sun through the sky. To this day, it is a sacred symbol in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Odinism. It is a common sight on temples or houses in India or Indonesia. Swastikas also have an ancient history in Europe, appearing on artifacts from pre-Christian European cultures.”
This not unlike what is going on right now. Satan is at least consistent in that he is forever trying to copy what God does and use it in a distorted way.… Who uses the word ‘gay’ now with usage similar to how it was used up until say 1970? Who thinks of the rainbow as just a beautiful arch in the sky after a rain? Well, God is not mocked and while He is very patient, the use of the rainbow is pure mockery of God’s everlasting promise to mankind….
Genesis 12:8 Then God said to Noah and to his sons with him: 9 “I now establish my covenant with you and with your descendants after you 10 and with every living creature that was with you—the birds, the livestock and all the wild animals, all those that came out of the ark with you—every living creature on earth. 11 I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
