Is the middle finger a universal gesture? Would Putin use a different combination of fingers? World politics is starting to resemble pitcher-catcher code in baseball. BTW, you did a fantastic job yesterday with 9/11 memorials.
Russians have over recent years adopted the "finger" with greater exposure to Western culture.
I think in Europe, they use the old "Hook 'em Horns" gesture.PS I said so at Comment Home and pointed people over here, but ditto on the 9/11.
There are a great variety and richness of rude hand gestures used in Europe, but most people there totally get the meaning of "the bird."
Notice Vlad has guts enough to have his pointing at somebody.As for Choom, had he done that to me, White House or no, POTUS or no, I'd tell him to put it away before I tore it off.Which somebody should have done years ago.
I welcome all legitimate comments. Keep it civil. Spam will be deleted. Thanks.
