I believe he is speaking of Ukraine. It is trendy today to say things like that in Ukraine.

Maybe because it was trendy to starve Ukrainians when the Soviet Union existed?

Ukrainians were not the only ones to suffer from the famines back then. Multiple parts of the USSR actually did. It doesn't seem like a targeted action on behalf of the govt.

I hope we will NOT keep it. It reminds me how my country was occupied and annexed by Soviet Union.

Maybe remove history books, they also remind people about this.

If there were a .nazi TLD, would there be debate about how proper it is?

Depends on how it was used.

Holocaust museum? OK.

Michigan Militia. Nope.

.gle - owned by Google and only for Google properties

Assigned to Google, but I could not find any examples of it actually being used unlike .google

I imagine just for goo.gle

There are many things that remind people of bad things. That's not an appropriate reason to remove them.

I'm reminded of the confederate general statues in the USA.

Not many - http://words.lx.lc/endswith/su

What a cool site, any documentation on other operators?

What I do when looking for words is go to `/usr/share/dict/` and grep for things, for example `grep 'su$' american-english` gives me:

  Amaterasu
  Fujitsu
  Ginsu
  Ieyasu
  Iguassu
  jujitsu
  shiatsu
  tiramisu

I hope you keep it too. It's been like a decade and I still feel sad that .yu is gone.

Biggest tragedy of the early internet was losing .oz (Which was resurrected in the OpenNIC alternate DNS.)

I strongly agree. When I take notes and put files in geographic directories, I still use .oz.

For me .su is a kind of historical curiousity. Not sure if I like it or not, or if it should be phased out, but there are a bunch of Soviet Union related sites in there too and sometimes these are pretty amusing (how about a site of the CPSU?) Also there's sudo.su :) Source: am Russian.

> (how about a site of the CPSU?) You are talking about http://kpss.su ?

Yes, that's it.

Коммунистическая партия Советского Союза

Communist Party of the Soviet Union

Katsu is just a japonization of the word Cuts. Chicken Katsu = Chicken Cuts

Not quite. Katsu is from Cutlet. (cutlet -> カツレツ -> かつ).

Isn't a cutlet a small cut?

As in a small "cut of chicken" is a "chicken cutlet?"
