    I don’t get why the Ukrainian armed forces are letting Nazi flags being displayed here. It adds fuel to the “denazification of Ukraine” fire.

          Actually it’s not in that picture. It’s white, blue and red horizontal stripes. And as with all Nazi flags it symbolizes a nation that is getting its ass kicked.

      It’s not a Nazi flag but there’s a lot of iconography on the black one that gives an off vibe for sure.

      • A bird on top, sure it’s an owl and not an eagle but still
      • Black Flag
      • A prominent S
      • A Flash
      • Red white and black as the primary colors

        It’s a five with lightening through it, not an S. Five because it’s the 5th Seperate Assault brigade. Lightning for assault definitely checks out and Nazis would use an eagle. They don’t really dig owls why would they they don’t value wisdom.

        Black flag and red-white-black come on are these people here Nazis.

        If anything it evokes the PAP for me, say what you want about them but fascist isn’t the right term. Paternalist centrism, maybe (which actually just describes Confucianism).

        They totally should have used that shoulder insignia pentagon on the flag though.
