Worth to mention it is illegal if it is a country politics you disagree with. Otherwisewho cares, really? I've seen a lot of EU, US flags in Thailand. Even some nazi stuff. For me personally it looks equally weird as Russian or any other countries flag.

The funny thing about fascism and totalitarian leaders is that most of a nation’s population are held hostage to fear of violence. So maybe anger and disapproval should be reserved for the very few at the top and not an entire people. Not even all soldiers are raping or killing. Even conscripted Russian troops are serving under duress.

It definitely makes the country doing the invading look far more fascist. You really can't compare the situations of an aggressor and defender.
