    Yeah yeah. You’re right of course. I am an American child of the 80’s though which is why my mind uses the hammer and sickle still.

    Also, Fuck Russia.

    Edit: And, you try photoshoping that fucking eagle into a stencil format. Fuck that.

      I don’t suppose… I could maybe get that without the trump sign? Possibly in .dxf format?

      (no, I’m not going to make a stencil and gratuitously vandalize every trump sign I see… why would you even ask?!)

          While the invasion in the original Red Dawn was stretching things a bit, at least the USSR was a credible threat back then.

          The remake swapping out the USSR for the DPRK? Please…

            On that topic, it has been really strange watching the same group that used to have nothing but vitriol for the Soviets, suddenly in jump in bed with the Russians. A generation has passed is one factor, I suppose. Still, its an about face that still makes my head spin a bit. I have to attribute it to Russian influence campaigns and other underhanded corruption using power, money and influence.

              Two reasons.

              First and foremost: Money

              Second: Group of right-wing authoritarians hate Nation run by left wing authoritarians. Nation drops left ideology and swings hard right? Group of right-wing authoritarians change opinion of nation real fast.

              Have you seen “The Americans?”

              It’s like that, but less fun.

              A sizable amount of politicians are either spies, bribed, or have dirt on them (probably fucking kids).
