October 4, 200816 yr Interesting. Do you know what countries and time periods they are from? I thought the "footprint in the snow" one was particularly visually striking.
October 4, 200816 yr Yeah, the first ones are N. Korean. Modern day, at that. In order, they read: “Death to US imperialists, our sworn enemy!” “Let’s drive the US imperialists out and reunite the fatherland!” “Do not forget the US imperialist wolves!” (refering to Korean War) “The US is truly an Axis of Evil.” “Wicked Man.” “When provoking a war of aggression, we will hit back, beginning with the US!” The rest are Soviet Russia but not modern. I do not know what the Russian posters say.
October 4, 200816 yr Soviet "Who gets national income?" (Circa 1950) "...all power in USSR belongs to workers of cities and villages via Soviets of workers' deputies..." "American Industry and Soviet Industry" Soviet Feminism "Down with kitchen slavery"
October 5, 200816 yr The one with the Indian and Soviet guys and their flags might date to the Sino-Soviet split, where India allied with the USSR against China . Then the US allied with Pakistan against India since they titled to the Soviets. So our involvment with Pakistan goes back to the Cold War. This one looks like it has a caricture of Trotsky in it: This one is a hoot. The cartoon style reminds me just a bit of old school comics (Maggy and Jiggs, Moon Mullins, Lil' Abner, and others) just a bit:
October 5, 200816 yr Pakistan was at the frontier of the Soviet Union, so the US allied with them. More likely, we coopted their government with a "friendly" government. Since we were allied with Pakistan, and providing them with armaments, that put us at odds with India. The Soviets played that situation by establishing the best relations we could with India. That last cartoon is a hoot.
