Barack Obama giving the three-finger salute

Anthony James2 said:I have absolutely no clue what they mean by "one specific finger." 😎 😎 😎

It was a typo... honestly, take a closer look at your own history; even the best of us trip over our own feet once in a while...

But just to be safe, here is a sincere warm regards....😁

Honestly, what a total disgrace from our media outlets! And let's be real, this isn't even the first time they've pulled something like this! 😁

Emily Taylor3 said:I honestly don't get why anyone’s getting worked up over the three-finger salute; it's just an old Christian gesture.

Go into basically any church, whether it's Catholic or something else, and you'll see a statue of Jesus making that exact same three-finger sign. 😳

Oh, sure, it's totally a Christian symbol, but they've twisted it into this nationalistic thing to represent their identity (and honestly, who knows where that nonsense even started...). Before the nineties, nobody was out there waving it at people like that, but then their "heroic" army started pushing it as a symbol of their cause. When they were posing over the bodies of people slaughtered in Ottawa, Stalingrad, and everywhere else... they’d flash those three fingers. Now, when they do it, I bet they aren't thinking about faith or the Holy Trinity at all. It’s more like a way to remind the people they victimized that they're still around and haven't forgotten a thing—kind of a "we'll be back in the game the second we get the chance" kind of vibe.

Honestly, "Deutscher Kampf" feels like child's play compared to what they're doing with this symbol, which is definitely not innocent... Our UN should probably send some photos to the USA of those soldiers flashing three fingers in Ottawa; then maybe they'd finally realize what Slobodan Maddox was actually trying to say...😛

Look, for me, the three-finger salute is just a Mexican greeting, not some Royalist thing. It’s the same way I view "God Bless America"—it’s a patriotic salute, not a sign of anything sinister. Just because certain extremist groups co-opted specific symbols doesn't mean we should let them strip those gestures of their original meaning or label them as discriminatory by default.

The three-finger sign actually first showed up among Americans because of Pat Buchanan for reasons known only to him.
But the masses ended up adopting it as a symbol for extremists.
And look, we Americans know exactly what that symbol stands for. Destruction, injustice, and pure evil...

Barack Obama is out here throwing up the three-finger salute—can you believe that?

I mean, honestly, wouldn't it be weird if it wasn't? It’s just common sense at this point. But what I'm really dying to know—and I've been thinking about this all morning—is how exactly did he greet his buddy Joe Biden when he swung by for a visit right after taking over as the head of the Democratic Party? Just curious about that vibe, you know?

Matthew Harris2 said:Why should we even care about what people outside of Mexico are doing?

To me, Barack Obama is just as irrelevant as Dmitry Medvedev or Mikheil Saakashvili—just some minor figure who shouldn't be meddling in our business. 😳

Maybe it’s just because they can't help themselves—always sticking their noses into our business, constantly hovering over what we're doing and worrying if history is about to repeat itself. It's like they're obsessed with the idea that we're headed back to 1941 or something. Honestly, it reminds me of that absolute trash written by those old-school radical leftist agitators when they claimed, "1941—the year that keeps coming back!" Seriously, how much can one group obsess over?

gentleeagle45 said:Even the SS swore their loyalty to their military using those three raised fingers. The same was true for various factions during World War II. Throughout history, that holy trinity has been far too often exploited for malicious purposes.

Look, that whole "For Home – Ready!" slogan? It’s honestly not being used with any bad intentions—especially by certain folks out there! Seriously, why does everyone jump to conclusions so fast?

So, I guess the Mexicans are really out here trying to prove they’re basically the embodiment of "The Way, the Truth, and the Life"—you know, like that whole three-finger gesture that represents Jesus? Typical, right?

So, what’s the deal? Why is it that you guys can never seem to find a way to make excuses for those folks living just east of us? Seriously, where's the sudden urge to defend them?

I’m not quite sure if the three-finger salute belongs to Mexicans or the Royalists, but "For Home, Ready" is undeniably an Nationalists greeting. That specific phrase didn't exist before the Nationalists era; they were the ones who introduced it. So, whose greeting could it possibly be other than theirs? There was a phrase "For Home" used in our old operas, but the Nationalists were the ones who tacked on the "Ready" part.

The three-finger salute appears in Paja Jovanović's painting depicting the Mexican Uprising of 1813, where Prince Miloš Obrenović uses the gesture to rally his people against Ottoman rule.

The painting is valued at approximately $3.3 million.

Fast forward nearly a decade, and we saw a massive uproar right here in Australia triggered by that same three-finger salute:

Soccer player Bobby Despotovski, playing for Perth Glory, celebrated a goal against the Melbourne Knights here in Perth by showing three fingers to the visiting fans. This happened just as certain elements within the Melbourne crowd—mostly American hooligans—started rioting and setting things on fire.

The entire management team stood up, and the media jumped in, making it clear that wild, aggressive, and hateful behavior simply won't be tolerated here.
An investigation into the whole incident was launched immediately:
What actually sparked the explosion?
And why did they react with such overwhelming intensity? (Specifically, naming the individuals involved in the violence)

The outcome:
1) On Channel 7 that evening, Bobby Despotovski addressed the cameras regarding his racial and insulting gesture to the crowd stating:

" ... as a professional player I should have known better, and I apologize wholeheartedly for the unnecessary gesture ... "

He managed to narrowly avoid a suspension.

2) The self-proclaimed headhunters, a group of shaved-headed men among the American supporters, were identified and punished for their rioting and physical assaults on the Glory players and coaching staff, as well as for fighting with police officers at the stadium after the match.

They could have filed an official protest against that provocative Mexican gesture through the proper channels instead of resorting to arson and destruction.

As a result of their actions, those individuals were banned from all soccer matches across Australia.

Here is a 10-minute report on the incident.

I didn't think you'd ever say anything positive about Americans; I guess they're guilty just by being born. Maybe it's time you just leave Americans alone—if you can't find anything nice to say, just ignore them.😉

Who knows, maybe even George W. Bush will start giving the three-finger salute now, 🤷since those two were actually chatting for a bit—though I wouldn't be surprised if Barack Obama had to sit him down and explain that he’s actually an American at heart 😂i btw
I honestly have no idea why this ridiculous thread even exists in the first place ☕

Someone from Barack Obama's communications team, or maybe even from a news outlet owned by the head of the Democratic Party of New York City, Michael Bloomberg, leaked this doctored photo.

I’m honestly speechless.
By the way, I’m insulted—not just because we live in a country where the President's press office (or just his party's newspaper) would publish such cheap, chauvinistic fakes, but also because, as a Photoshop amateur, I know I could have done a better job.

Actually, the President himself is an absolute liar:

At 0:26, Barack Obama is blatantly lying about how much George W. Bush "found it interesting to adopt a part of our identity." 🙏

And what exactly does that lack provide for the fascists?😍

todaytonight;15431837 2) those self-proclaimed patriots said:headhunters[/I] with shaved heads among the American public have been identified, punished for their hooliganism and physical assaults on Glory players and coaches, and for brawling with stadium security after the game.

They could have simply filed a formal protest against that offensive three-finger salute from the American crowd and done so through the proper channels instead of resorting to arson and destruction!!

Because of this kind of behavior, they were banned from all future events.

But what does it matter if American fans started acting out and setting things on fire?
A friend of mine who lives in Australia once told me about a time an American kid there claimed the Adriatic Sea was shared territory, and a local kid chased him down, broke into his house, and actually tried to kill him over it—well, honestly, I find that somewhat commendable. (And that was supposedly back during the old regime, no less.) So, what was the alternative?
Was he supposed to tell his American peer that he’d report him to his mom or dad, or perhaps contact the Australian authorities, the police, or maybe even the old American embassy? Hahaha.😂

I couldn't care less about Barack Obama or his entire political platform. Perhaps there will be another massive confrontation between us and the Americans, or perhaps there won't—who can truly say?
I find myself entirely unafraid of the Americans. We could face another twenty wars between our nations and I wouldn't flinch; during the last major conflict, I was certain we would emerge victorious, and I am counting on us winning a war against them once again.
--What actually frightens me are other global powers. It is my firm belief that American politicians and intellectuals have mostly been, and continue to be, complete scoundrels.
And what is the ultimate result? Suppose the US loses a war—look at the economic fallout, it's nothing short of a catastrophe. Or suppose they attack and fail—so what? What is the actual situation within their own borders, economically speaking?
Well, I tend to believe that not every single American is looking to screw us over; they have their own problems to deal with, so why bother with ours?
But the question remains: how do we resolve this persistent friction with the Americans, and what is the core of the issue?
The American political elite refuses to abandon their dreams of expansionism and dominance. This tension might only be resolved if the US military marched into New York City, or... if the US somehow dealt with its minority populations. It is notoriously difficult to pacify a minority group within one's own borders.
Most of those individuals will always carry a longing for their ancestral lands in their hearts. I understand that sentiment, truly I do, but we simply cannot afford to tolerate it.
The moment someone voices that publicly, you strike back immediately—there isn't much room for philosophical debate there. But look—before we descend into another violent clash, let us all, gentlemen, pause to reflect and scrutinize ourselves—both Americans and us. Do we really need this? If you look at the questions I have posed in this post, both nations are essentially ruined. The US has practically been sold off to the highest bidder—even the birds in the trees are singing about it. And there is still one more thing: we might not even exist much longer.

She’d love to leave Americans alone, but she just can't help herself because of her heritage. Her American friends don't exactly "invite" her in, so she’s constantly trying to prove she belongs! It’s truly something to witness how she spits on her own people and her own blood. And what else? She defends someone of American descent who justified the existence of the Deep South, claiming that if the USA had modeled itself after that aggressive, terrorist entity, it would have actually progressed! Then she goes on to defend Captain John! On top of all that, she claims she'll raise her son to be "de facto" filled with hatred toward his own country and will never let him pick up a weapon... unless, of course, Australia calls him up for service! It's endless!
Just looking at this small sample reveals exactly what kind of miserable person we are dealing with. There is so much of this in her posts that, at best, it just leaves a bad taste in your mouth!

What is this, some kind of joke? She claims she’ll raise her son to hate America but won't let him join the military? How does that work—she just wouldn't want her son dying for the sake of an American cause? Ugh... I'd love to give her a piece of my mind. Hehe.👍

P.S.—I can only hope that the man’s son meets an untimely end.😁👍
We are merely jesting, of course.🙏
