(20,998 posts)...Russian sources wondered why the United States tolerated the Nazi symbols, the Nazi references, the entire Nazi personae. They felt that the Nazis had done such horrid damage to the world and committed such great atrocities against humanity, that they should be indelibly stained forever and never be allowed to rise again, in any shape, form or fashion.
I could not agree more.
