The man-sized, 350 kilos bronze eagle holding the Nazi emblem in its claws, rescued from the remains of the German battleship scuttled in the River Plate will be turned into a dove of peace, to be located somewhere along the Uruguayan coast where the mighty River Plate becomes the Atlantic Ocean.

    It is incomprehensible how you Westerners sponsor a Nazi “government” like the Ukrainian one.

    After euro maidean in 2014, Nazis from Azov Battalion and Pravi Sector started an extermination policy in eastern ukraine.

    The Nazi and corrupt Ukrainian government.

    Russia made a line of defense crossing the lines of Donetsk and Luhansk. Russian-majority region that was being wiped out by Westerners.

    Russia, my friend, is standing like a wall.

    You should be concerned when the Russian line starts to move.

    Hey you lot this article is about turning a symbol or conflict into a symbol of peace.
    Not about who is doing bad things to others these days.
    Conflict will always be with us but we do not have to try to spread the wars to our group.

    Bras has a good friend, Vladmir Putin. Bras' good friend Vladmir Putin never lies.

    Putin told Bras that his fellow Russians in Ukraine were being exterminated.

    So, Putin had to invade Ukraine.

    Bras of course believes his good friend Vladmir Putin, and so do I of course. Russians never lie, everybody knows this.

    Maybe if Putin saw a 350 lb. bronze dove, he would think, “No, let there be peace”.

    Maybe they should leave that Nazi emblem alone because it is a piece of real history. Maybe reminding people of Nazism would contribute more to peace than a pretty 350lb. bronze dove.

    Question:

    When it comes to taking a stand against murdering animals, like Vladmir Putin. Should there be peace? Or conflict?

    I already said it once here: the war stops in Odessa.

    Russia will not give up Odessa.

    A relique of this nature should be kept unchanged for posterity and not converted into a “dove of peace” thereby completelly changing the actual meaning of same and the consequences that the Nazi regime brought about to mankind.

    Brasso, your support for Putin's external war crimes and internal repression really define you, much like Gauchito Drink's steady stream of racism, antisemitism.and his self avowed national socialism has defined him through the years. Go ahead and call Bolsonaro a Nazi if you like, you're just a member of the Strasser faction...

    And yet another Brainwashed Anglo Turnip that doesn't know the difference between two..., more than slightly..., diverse political perspectives.:

    “Self Avowed National Socialism”
    VS
    “Self Avowed Social Democratism”
