I have always been amazed when I walk around Berlin, particularly the Wall/Checkpoint Charlie areas that people are openly selling communist memorabilia. Obviously Nazi stuff is banned in Germany but you'd think they'd treat Communist gear the same way considering all that they suffered in Berlin.
A lot of people over the years have been saying 2 sides of the same coin. Judging by the recent votes in the EU Parliament, this confirms it. They are both dangerous nutters that disagree with how they implement their nuttyness. They ultra strong state that implements their way of life upon everyone. Anyone who disagrees is a conspirator and needs to be weeded out through all means necessary. It's the exact same belief on both sides, just with little tweaks in the belief system.
Lithuanian govt has supplied vehicles to Ukraine (plus aid packed into them apparently)
My goodness, I didn't realise the "special operation" was dominating state TV to this extent.
On the one on the right for example, you have the news at 5pm, followed by '60 Minutes' (their equivalent of Prime Time) for two and a half hours, followed by another hour and a half of news and then a political / current affairs discussion show by a well known Kremlin propagandist bringing them up to midnight.
Ah but didn't Peter the Great kick their ar**es.
St Petersburg area was in the hands of the Swedes before old Peter grabbed it for a sea port.
Maybe it is time they started demanding it back, after all if everyone is looking for return of lands once owned by your state why not join in.
Oh and old Peter the Great wasn't so great if you were one of the thousands of peasants and serfs that were forced to build St Petersburg and ultimately die doing it.
Typical fooking Russian leader.
Ehh who are you going to sell it to ?
The Ukrainians or the Russians or do you fancy your chances of smuggling it into the EU ?
Naw the RuSSians only have enough ammo for hospitals and civilian shelters...

Meanwhile a McDonalds copycat in Russia has applied to trademark this logo
A budding burger chain in Russia called “Uncle Vanya” is looking to grab business that has been left on the table by McDonald’s — revealing a logo that looks strikingly similar to the “Golden Arches.”
A March 12 trademark filing with the Russian government showed an image that closely resembles the McDonald’s logo turned on its side. The sketchy filing shows a Cyrillic letter “B,” which references the “V” in “Uncle Vanya,” cast in yellow against a red background.
“Trademark squatting has begun in Russia,” tweeted Josh Gerben, a prominent intellectual property attorney who was among those who flagged the filing.
The application appeared online after Russian officials indicated they remove patent protections for companies linked to countries deemed hostile to Russia — a response to crippling international sanctions and a mass exodus of Western companies in response to the Ukraine invasion.

Everyone take a drink!
I'm surprised the Russians don't fire on the tractors even if not towing captured gear, seeing as loads are getting carted off by them
I believe it was John McDonnell
I can see things like this taking off as a demonstration of unity with Ukraine.
Yesterday, the Italian cabinet agreed to provide the resources to rebuild the Mariupol Theatre.
Today the Prime Minister of Greece announced that they are ready to rebuild the maternity hospital.
Got to hand it to the Kremlin. They've made swift gains on the homefront and TV scheduling. Not so much in Ukraine though. Bogged down and losing tanks by the hour.
A real man of the people by the people
Autocratic state to full on totalitarianism in 3 short weeks.
True enough you visit areas like Dordogne and you see all the beautiful towns/villages on hilltops all built around castles.
They have to thank the English for that.
Likewise all those cute white towns/villages often named la Frontera (the frontier) in Andalucia are due to the Moors.
Yes the Soviets - mainly Russia, but don't forget they were also from Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia and all those multitude of Stans, lost anything above 20 million in the Great Patriotic War.
But don't forget Stalin let untold millions die of starvation, again including millions of Ukrainians, not to mention the millions ethnically clensed, purged, deported to certain death in Siberia or a Gulag in the Artic wastes.
They reckon the Soviets killed as many if not more than Hitler's invasion.
Life has always seemed precarious and cheap in Russia.
And I wholeheartedly agree Russian Empire went the way of Chinese and Ottomans where they became very insular.
They usually got awoken when they started getting their asses kicked in wars and their only solution was to throw men at it.
Forgetting the human suffering for a second....hypothetically if you travel to Ukraine just now and manage to find an abandoned T72 or some SAM system....what do you reckon it's worth? I mean are we talking making enough money to justify the danger?
No one will beat Russian leaders for killing Russian and Ukrainian people, Hitler tried but a poor attempt.
The farming section of the Ukrainian version of DoneDeal will be very interesting in the future.
I forget who it was, but some Labour tosspot in the UK had Stalin framed picture on his wall. Quite common to see hammer & sickle paraphernalia...
Corbyn was at an event a couple of years ago speaking with commie and Soviet flags all over. They marched military style down the streets with commie flags chanting Revolution is the solution.
rekt...or ЯЄҚҬ
What clown would wear a Stalin t shirt? Depressing if true
With bono giving Pelosi that poem yesterday, that link is giving me strong vibes of this
There's some kind of assumption that Hitler was worse than Stalin. It's a pretty tight call, both atrocious.
Nazis and commies are scumbags. The problem is it's perfectly acceptable to walk around student dorms with hammer & sickle or Stalin tshirt, but swastika is a no no.
Both ideologies are the rock bottom of humanity and contributed literally 100,000,000 deaths + combined
It's pretty terrifying and surreal that we witnessed the equivalent of a Nuremberg Rally in the year 2022. This poxy scum must be stopped somehow. Sickening stuff.
Wouldn't mind if that was the guards on O'Connell St every time they saw a gouger tho 😄
Point is, there's plenty more to attempt it. Putin completely underestimated the level resistance, from all parts of society.
Think that's the second time I've heard that music accompanying one of these types of videos - anyone know what it is? It slaps!
Its horrendous - absolutely beyond Orwellian - they only hopeful thing i can say is if they are acting THAT FAST - They are worried
