Title: Kalashnikov gets a monument
Post by: steve58 on September 19, 2017, 01:35:12 PM
Some places around the world are still putting up statues rather than tearing them down.  Wonder how many people will get triggered by this :-"

A towering monument to Lt. Gen. Mikhail T. Kalashnikov, designer of the AK-47, the Soviet rifle that has become the world's most widespread assault weapon, was unveiled on Tuesday in the middle of one of central Moscow's busiest thoroughfares.

I wonder if there is/will be a statue of Lt. Gen. Mikhail T. Kalashnikov in Vietnam. I wish I had been permitted to keep the AK-47 I captured the last night I was in the field.

If the statue was in the USA, the left would tear it down.

In the USA we need statues to Robert Browning - lots of statues.

I thought the Antifas and hard left liked the Russian communism, socialism, and the hammer and sickle, so a statue of Kalashnikov might put them into a vapor lock state of indecision.

Yeah, any commie statue would be exempt from being torn down in America.

You're assuming they're smart enough to know it's a commie statue.

What do we call the products of an education system that is by and large decidedly skewed to the left?
