Change it black, flatten the ends of the 4 points, as well as flare them out. No, it is not "literally the iron cross."

The guy is Jewish, he's not gonna put on the iron cross, and I'm not gonna accept "there are Nazis in Ukraine" being used to justify attacking them, especially when Russia uses actual Nazis (the Wagner group) to attack them.


It's a shit justification because the vast majority of Ukrainians are not Nazis but fact remains that there are Nazis in Ukraine.

WASHINGTON — In 36 days of fighting on Iwo Jima during World War II, nearly 7,000 Marines were killed. Now, 20 days after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia invaded Ukraine, his military has already lost more soldiers, according to American intelligence estimates.

The conservative side of the estimate, at more than 7,000 Russian troop deaths, is greater than the number of American troops killed over 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.

So either Russia and Belarus have done multiple false flag bombings to bring Belarus into the war or there's a coup and the military are taking out areas they know Lukashenko loyalists are at

The latter is more likely as no one believes Ukraine would (or could even have the capacity to) simultaneously bomb that many cities

Bush was a war criminals, along with the "new world order" crew following, but these people were never condemned.
Tony Blair did apologies dozen of times, he's cursed.

...because Belarus is a staging ground for Russia. Also, by going through Belarus, it's already a fairly direct line to the Russian rear guard areas.


Do you seriously think Poland would be foolish enough to unilaterally declare war on Russia (and Belarus) in this fashion?

I can see them unilaterally deciding to send their own troops to Ukraine, basically daring Russia to attack them, a NATO member, over it. But sending their own troops to go on the offense against Russian troops on Russia-allied territory? That would be bonkers if you ask me.

Yes, it would be bonkers. I would hope that our country's "leadership" would immediately disavow such an action and work to pull Poland back to reality, but that would be expecting adult, thoughtful decisions out of an administration that by any definition behaves like an unruly toddler with very early onset dementia.

Regarding the Iron Cross debate from the previous page: it is generally a symbol of militarism and manliness. It is indeed seeing increased use among far-right or nazi circles, but it is far from a surefire symbol of far-right ideology or nazism.

Look at Lenny Kilmister wearing the iron cross on his attire for the longest part of his career, like here:


Or look at the crest of the reservist association of the German Bundeswehr:
