But why the Russian Imperial Flag?

Again you are correct, Russia simply displays flags that are associated with Russian History at Russian events without bothering to whitewash them.

Russia commemorates all parts of its history, the Czarist era, as well as the Soviet era. They don’t remove flags or tear down statues, just because the times have changed.

Well of course - we should not avoid celebrating and honoring times of mass murder and absolute tyranny just because those times are in the past. < / s >

Why try to justify this? It isn't like that Soviet flag flew over long periods of time of a nation with a long and complex history both good and bad - those things were at the core of its characteristics. Should Germany fly the Nazi flag and have statutes standing in places of honor and celebrated simply because they are part of its history, and they shouldn't neglect doing so simply because "times have changed" since the holocaust?

Any Christian following the great commission of Jesus would have been overjoyed at the fall of the Soviet Union and the opportunity to join together with Russia as allies in Christendom. And Putin has been a leader openly promoting Christianity. But instead, the neoCONs saw too much money and power to be made by continuing the strife and turning Russia into a perpetual boogeyman. And Ukraine was a perfect place to launder money and commit all sorts of nefarious, illegal activity. These neoCON deep state scum are liars and deceivers and their reward is only in this world that they have used for personal gain at the expense of millions of souls that could have been saved if not for their evil machinations.

That’s why I call it “rUSSRia”.

The USSR is hiding in plain sight.

Just because Homos, Pedos and Nazis don’t Like a Flag doesn’t mean it’s display isn’t correct, however, Homo Agitators, Pedophiles and Nazis are ALWAYS Wrong, and Always Criminals.

Naturally you’d be okay with the Germans displaying their historical flags, insignia, and iconography....right?

Correct, and they don’t tear down statues and fly rainbow flags with their national flag. Who would have ever thought Russia has the higher
moral ground?

Don’t care a whit about Germans in Germany or what they do in Germany, and anyway, they got Uke Nazis and Uke Nazi Boosters to display their Nazi Flags in Ukraine for ‘em.

Yep, simply a corporation paying a sports venue to promote it's product and boost sales, advertising.

Like other corporations, they may, or may not, have good intentions.

Notice in all of the hit pieces against Russia, NOT ONE ATTEMPT to defend what they support (by default), which is Biden and the EU’s DESTRUCTION of Western culture.

Not one...it’s a pattern, since their goal here is to eliminate all countries that that pose a threat to what they’re in the process of doing to Western societies.

Let me tell you something no decent human being and no true American likes the flag of the USSR and for you to call Pele names in its defense means you are a wacko.

Are you even friggin kidding?

Only homos and pedos detest the Soviet Union? You’re sick in your head.

The novel 1984 was based on Russia but hey it feels good to make up fantasies I guess.

No one here supports Biden and if I ask you to say you support Trump, you’ll dance around and eventually run away.
