“The wine-red colour symbolised the good times of the past as well as the future, whilst the black represented Russian rule, and the white represented hope for peace”

Looks to me like they just taped over the old hammer and sickle. Saves money on making new flags.

They could’ve done that for some, but that flag design is older than the Soviet Union.

Is op red-green colorblind?

I think it’s more about where you draw the line between red and brown, which is individual and cultural. Apparently, my view on this might be a bit controversial. I first saw the old Georgian flag as a small child that did not know fancy words like “burgundy” and “maroon”. It seemed brown to me, and so it has remained in my mind, even if it would be more exact to describe it as some nuance brownish shade of red, or reddish shade of brown.

You can also have a look at the Wikipedia page with shades of brown, and I’m sure you will find that people can be way crazier than me when it comes to describing things as brown. Like, how can wheat, bone, moles or black olives be brown?

I’m going to have to strenuously object to Wikipedia on that one.

Brown is definitionally a dark combination of red and green. Burgundy’s official color code is 50% red 0% green 13% blue.

As a sidenote, I love these litttle inane internet arguments.

PsychedSy,

It’s just dark orange anyway.

Then let’s do some inane arguing!

It all depends on your color model. If you would use CMYK instead you would see that burgundy is a combination of magenta, yellow and black, just as brown is.

The definition of brown can definitely include blue as well, e.g. W3C defines the keyword brown as rgb(165, 42, 42).

I was referring to Darth Vader getting his hand chopped off.

Wait, that was Luke 🤦… nevermind…

Duamerthrax,

Uh… have you not seen the prequels? Lucas isn’t exactly known for subtle story telling.

0x4E4F,
@0x4E4F@sh.itjust.works avatar

I have, but I forgot the storyline… well, remeber it kinda vaguely. The original trilogy is what is burned in my mind, I was a kid, it was a great trilogy.

awwwyissss,

Yes, it would be much harder for you to keep making propaganda.

LCAC is a little slow and the osprey didn’t crash killing 12 servicemen.

Unfortunately most of the rest of the world doesn’t give a shit, or swallow up the American propaganda that what Ansar Allah are doing is just random acts of terrorism.

TseseJuer,

this is anti-American propaganda made by a non american wtf are you talking about??

Edit: I was looking at this from an American perspective and assuming these were all 'murican ships and aircraft. There aren’t. Nothing I previously wrote would align with the video since the British navy is weird. So, I just erased my assumptions. They were likely all wrong anyway.

gravitas_deficiency,

Judging by the fact that the front of that flat deck has a ski jump, I’d wager that it’s the HMS Queen Elizabeth, which does in fact have a dual-island design.

remotelove, (edited )
@remotelove@lemmy.ca avatar

That explains my confusion. Something looked really off and and my brain couldn’t compute what I was seeing, TBH. The elevators looked right, but I still wasn’t sure.

Edit: There more. Is that whole group British? The last two fixed wing aircraft that fly by aren’t 'murican either. I see a Black Hawk-type helicopter, I think. We use SH/HH-60s in our Navy that have their rear strut moved way forward. The British and Americans both use LCACs as well. The leading helicopter might actually be a Merlin followed by some Wildcats. Alas, all I can make are stupid guesses now.

Yeah I’d personally much prefer the world’s shipping lanes be patrolled by the US navy than taken over by pirates.
