Whoops. The geographic shape, colors, and and symbol do look pretty similar at a glance.

Point still stands for the USSR though

It is better to remain silent at the risk of being thought a fool, than to talk and remove all doubt of it.

Sure… buddy. Just ask Poland, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Baltics and lastly Afghanistan. You guys are called tankies for a reason.

A lot of this is in the context of the literal nazis conquering these places, like Poland especially. Afghanistan was literally intentionally destabilized by the CIA to draw them into the conflict.

I’m not about to defend all of the USSR’s decisions, but context is important and the US is responsible for far worse.
