That emblem brings this from a solid B+ flag to F-

Its not a bad design, but those don't belong on flags.

Without it many personal wouldn't have recognized that it's not the original flag.

Intresting. I'll be honest, I have zero knowlage about the new flag or the nation (which I should fix...)

I just judged the flag as a flag.

In that case I as your student wouldn't accept F- as a grade, because you didn't see the original flag with three pigeons and a blue line in the middle. But ok.

I personally like emblems, icons and heraldry on flags. Without them, flags are often enough just bars of colors.

I agree. It could work if the emblem was simplified, but it's a bit too complex right now. Not F- level though, I'd say C; the colours are unique with meaning, and the icon in the middle is striking and recognizable.

The amount of pro RuSSia people here that want to get a free pass in the meat grinder, can someone call Russia to get these highly motivated soldiers to the front line?

It's just so baffling, they're all from lemmy.ml defending Putin's invasion. Modern Russia isn't even ML, the USSR is gone. It's only "America bad" that's driving their alignment with Russia at this point, isn't it? Or they're a troll factory. Or under the influence of Russian propaganda. Probably people from all of those.
