Making such an absurd analogy shows you are COMPLETELY clueless.

The ones who are clueless are those, such as yourself, who didn't understand the semantics of my statement, and weren't bright enough to realize they should have asked for clarification.

Only because there's an infinitesimal chance you might be capable of understanding, here's the analogy:

  1. Rightly or wrongly, the Soviet flag is hated and despised by many people.
  2. Rightly or wrongly, the Confederate flag is is hated and despised by many people.
  3. Rightly or wrongly, many people in Russia view the Soviet flag in a positive light, often for reasons that have nothing to do with why others hate it so much.
  4. Rightly or wrongly, many people in the Souhth view the Confederate flag in a positive light, often for reasons that have nothing to do with why others hate it so much.

Next time, ask what was meant before shooting off your mouth.

We were already bankrupt last time we defeated the Soviets. America’s wealth is not measured by how much we have in the bank.

The analogy I would draw would be the Confederate flag.

Your statement seems fairly straightforward. If you didn't want to be misunderstood, perhaps you should have provided the context you required to make your position tenable.

You can weasel around all you like with the "rightly or wrongly" spinning, but holding forth there's any possible light wherein the Battle Flag of the CSA can be equated to the hammer and sickle of the soviet union is beyond ridiculous.

It's foolish.

If you don't want your words taken at face value, that's fine with me. I'll remember not to make the mistake of giving them any weight in future.

It is expect President Vladimir Putin will ratify the move in time for next week’s commemorations marking the end of World War II in Europe.

Vile communist b@$!ards.

but in Russia its significance is much deeper, with the Soviet victory over fascism in World War II remaining something seen in almost religious terms.

Until Hitler invaded the USSR, National Socialism and Communism were two sides of the same coin.

Before the Nazi invasion, the USSR denounced Britain's stand against Hitler and America's aid to Britain.

The USSR and Nazi Germany deserved all the horrors they did to each other.

Both Germany and Poland secretly agreed to partition Poland between them. While Hitler’s forces attacked in the west, Stalin invaded in the east, stabbing Poland in the back.

“Russia’s Parliament has voted to restore the communist-era hammer and sickle to the official flag of the Russian Army.
It is expected President Vladimir Putin will ratify the move...”

Gee, what a surprise! (sarc) Looks like Pukehead and the other commies are pining for the good ol’ days of the Soviet Union. They must not have killed enough people, or stolen enough yet.

This is really gonna upset Pelosi and Reid. Now they can’t use the Hammer and Sickle for their new revised version of the US flag.

"Russia's Parliament has voted to restore the communist-era hammer and sickle to the official flag of the Russian Army."

Next comes the totalitarian restoration of the Evil Empire, which Putin & his KGB goons are deleteriously but gleefully hastening in conjuntion with the Kremlin's hand picked horde of youthful neo-Soviet Nashi storm troopers.

Equally if not more dangerous is the neo-Soviet military machine is rapidly replacing old weapons of war with newer and more deadly - for eventual war against the West.

The submarine has a length of 170 meters (580 feet), a body diameter around 13 meters (42 feet), and a submerged speed of about 29 knots. It can carry up to 16 nuclear ballistic missiles.

Armed Russian subs lurking off our East and West coasts could inflict unthinkable horror in a sudden first strike.

Two other Borey-class nuclear submarines, the Alexander Nevsky and the Vladimir Monomakh, are currently under construction at the Sevmash plant, with a fourth submarine on the future production schedule list.

Goose stepping to Putin's war drum beat.

Jihad and Mein-Komph have the same translation.

“Mein-Komph” reads just like Stalin’s writings.

“Knights Under the Prophet’s Banner” reads just like “Mein-Komph”.

Cut the aid package. Move all US bases located in germany to poland. Force the reds to move through Albania and have the Islamofacists stab them in the back.
