What year do you think it is? Why would the Russian Federations President have a hammer and sickle on his hat? Do you think the United Soviet Socialist Republic still exists? Do you think the Russian Federation uses the Hammer and Sickle symbol? Or is your political literacy so poor that in your mind "Hammer and Sickle = Russia = bad" is the best you can come up with? Not to mention the fact that if you knew anything about the situation in Syria you would know that Iranian and Russian backed forces are being pushed out, and the new Syrian Government is aligned with US, Turkish, and Israeli interests. Not Iranian or Russian interests.

Stop putting so much energy into defending a global empire that's perfectly capable of defending itself, and get your geopolitical knowledge updated to this century.

edit: As someone kindly pointed out USSR is Union of Soviet Socialist Republics oops on that lol. Doesnt really effect the point i was making at all but ya im a bit of a dumby for that one.
