Crush you into the steps


The message behind this red tank moving inexorably up the steps of a train station in Italy seems to be one of warning, a show of strength, a cry of rage, of anger, of fear, a blood-curdling yell of, "We shall crush you! Crush you into the steps! Crush your head! Splinter your bones across the public transit system."

Stand against the red tank at your peril. Never mistake this military machine for a benign force, or think it's on your side or under your control. Never leap into the road to welcome your new crimson overlords. Run. Run for your lives. We cannot be stopped.
