It’s is you who have reading problems - maybe your spectacles have become foggy from the methane your omitting.
The subject of the thread, which you have been unable to stick to, is Communist symbols coming back to the USSR (nothing has changed except the name). Since you cannot defend communism or it’s symbols, or the communist Putin, it is best you move on (back to DU or wherever it is commie-loving trolls come from). Good riddance.
"The subject of the thread, which you have been unable to stick to, is Communist symbols coming back to the USSR (nothing has changed except the name)"
I've been
casting pearls trying to point to the fact that in this particular case the use of the symbol has little with "return to USSR", as many here seem impressed, but much more to do with the victory in WWII. The original article claimed that the symbol was reinstated for officialuse in the current Russian army. I quoted articles to show that
this is not the case and the use of the symbol concerns merely official celebration of WWII victory.
You've been denying that and also denying that USSR played a key role in the victory over Nazism and also that their role in that effort should be respected (regardless of other very negative things that the Soviets have done).
In one of my previous comments I posted pictures of Russian Jews in Israel displaying the very same symbols, not because they are "commies" or wish USSR to return,
but because to them it is symbolic of the defeat of Nazis. I recognize the symbol's significance for Russians in that regard. You failed to see the point.
Furthermore, the symbol never really left the Victory Banner, as I have already said -
so its not like something else was used since 1991 and all of a sudden it was "brought back". It was still in use throughout the past decade - only now it has been officially recognized as such.
If still don't understand what was my original point, I rest my case. Some things are not for you to understand.
"it is best you move on (back to DU or wherever it is commie-loving trolls come from). Good riddance."
I don't take orders. I bet you regret the fact that you dont have your own version of the KGB at your disposal to suppress my dissenting opinion :)
