Hope they fucking melt it down and construct a statue of Stalin stepping on Bandera’s throat. Get shit on, Ukronazis.

    Replies saying that destroying monuments is a war crime. Wonder if they thought that when U.S. pigs were blowing up mosques in Afghanistan. Or when Israel destroys mosques in Palestine. Wonder if they’d think it if black people in the U.S. tore down slave-owner statues (probably would).

      Obligatory reminder that Ukrainians destroyed the statue of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya, 18-year old partisan girl and hero of the Soviet Union who was hanged by the nazis. Watch the video how they did it.

      After this, they should just shut the fuck up about monuments.

      Which mosques were the US blowing up? I am having a hard time finding any references to that occuring.

        I’ll be honest in saying that I was thinking of the many mosques destroyed in Iraq when I commented this.

        The Afghan puppet government, with American aid and support, did bomb at least mosques on multiple occasions, killing dozens of civilians in the process.

        This is a harrowing talk I’d recommend checking out. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=be7x-BbDyBo Specifically for destruction of historical monuments and religious sites, check out 6:35 onward.

          I’ll never cease to be amazed at how utterly oblivious Americans are regarding what their government does around the world.

            I am not “utterly oblivious”. OP themselves has backtracked on that specific claim. The US does not seem to have been part of attacking a mosque in Afghanistan.

              You’re splitting hairs here. US did blow up mosques, whether it was in Iraq or Afghanistan isn’t really the relevant part. And of course, US backed regime blowing up mosques is just one degree of separation. US propped up and armed this regime directly facilitating the atrocities is committed against the people it ruled over.

    Unfortunately, if it does get melted down into a new monument, it’ll be something stupid, like one of the tsars

      I mean, this is a pretty accurate comment if you see monuments as meaningless stone artifacts
