Ukraine destroyed or damaged six Su-34 fighterbombers with a neptune missile attack in Russia's Voronezh. Ukraine struck Sberbank's main data center in Balakovo triggering a banking crisis. Trump or Elon Musk shut off Starlink/Starshield for Ukraine's military for a day and then it was restored.

I didn't make them, but my guess is that it's to illustrate that Russia today is very much like the Soviet Union in several ways.
It's an authoritarian dictatorship, and they are just as much the enemy of democracy as they ever were.

IMO it should be pretty obvious!

    If that's your reasoning, it's like the soviet union in the same way that it's like most countries that the US has assassinated leadership and installed leaders and is pretty weak. Seems more likely they want to ride the red scare vibes than actually make a statement about Russia.

    When did USA assassinate a Soviet or Russian leader?
    And how did this suddenly become about USA, that's both whataboutism and completely irrelevant to Russia illegally invading Ukraine without any reason, and cause death and misery of hundreds of thousands of people

    I am talking about the choice of using the symbol on his shirt. There is no "whataboutism" happening here, I am simply pointing out that they could use many symbols to represent a dictator and they chose that one. Why not use the flag of Cameroon, whose Paul Biya was a dictator for a decade longer than Stalin or something?
