Donald Trump’s administration on Saturday was accused of promoting the Russian flag, on Flag Day.

The Department of Defense over the weekend wished social media a “Happy Flag Day!”

“Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all. As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let’s celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great,” the department stated Saturday.

The image attached to the post included two small images that appear to represent the Russian flag.

    of course someone of your persuasion would call it a gaff and not a sign of their actual loyalty

      People won’t take you seriously if you say tinfoil brained stuff like this instead of pointing out actual legitimate links to Russia or actual atrocities the Trump administration has committed.

      Oh sorry, did I step out of line? I can’t criticise news reports that are critical of Trump for stupid reasons?

      That report also didn’t show the tweet and just stated as a fact the USA department “tweeted two small russian flags”, hoping the reader won’t scroll down enough to see the actual tweet and make their own mind up, or if they did, they were served enough ads.

      Anyway, your tribal thinking is why you are in the hot water your country is in anyway. We should be free to be critical of reports from our own side of the political spectrum or from our own ideology.

        That’s a lot of words to defend a Russian stooge, weird that you’d defend the Russian-backed Nazi at all

        Not that shocking someone who thinks sky daddy is real would give the Russian president a pass on his treason, who cares why

          I would love nothing more than to watch Vladimir Putin tortured to death on live television. But sure, because I, like the majority of the global population, believe in the divine, I must be simping for Putin like a teenage Chinese girl. Touch grass. It’s people with your attitude who let Donald Trump win the 2024 United States of America Presidential Election
