Of course it is. I don't know what I was thinking. Now I look like an idiot.
Seriously, what is it with red, white and blue on flags? How come so many key flags have those specific three colours? France, the UK, Russia, the USA, Australia, NZ, Thailand, Chile... Everyone claims the colours are deeply symbolic, but they all attach different symbolic meanings to the same colours, so that's just propaganda for public consumption. Is it just because the dye was cheap historically, and fabric was easy to come across? In the French revolution people were making tricolours for themselves to demonstrate their political affiliation, presumably the colours were chosen because even poor people would find a way to make a tricolour ribbon before marching into the street.
Or is the reason more sinister? Are these three colours a symbol of Satan's empire, that reappear everywhere over time as a stamp of his influence - like the heraldic eagle and the stylised sun/swastika?
