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.
Tweet in question.
I think there are more serious things to write about the trump administration than a graphic design gaff

Like I said - In LA, people flying Mexican flags aren't fighting for American Democracy.
And in the Whitehouse, clearly they're flying Russian flags and not fighting for (but actively dismantling) American Democracy there.
I hate being politically consistent. There's no cognitive dissonance, but you still get...this.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Nah man. They are. Mexican immigrants are American. I used to proudly open a talk with something similar to "I'm proud of this country for many reasons but most of all because of the concept what an American is. Few countries will give you a title with citizenship. Indian and become a citizen? Boom, you're American. Immigrate from America to Haiti and you won't be Haitian. You can't become an Italian. But anyone can be an American" I've since refined and now recently rescinded most of those ideas but the core concept holds. A Chinese American waving a Chinese flag is just as American as a white man waving the American flag. It's great because you can love your home country, others home countries, and your current country (USA) at the same time because it's a melting pot that was founded by (not originally inhabited by. We can get into that later) immigrants with the eventual promise of opportunity for any others. Wave that Mexican flag. Scream that the US shouldn't even deport anybody. You're an American and everyone gets a say and you wouldn't be waving another flag here if you didn't love two countries. Or at least, the people in them.

Just in case anybody was wondering who those fuckers actually work for.

This represents any other country with a similar color scheme. Like france, iceland, chile, costa rica, north korea and others. This is honesty a bunch of nothingness, but the left likes to rage over clickbait just as bad as everyone else.

To me this looks as much as a gaff as Elon Musk his Nazi salutes. This "gaff" is yet another obvious dog whistle by USA republicans.

Aren't you that smarmy, confidently incorrect asshat that recently got clowned on by like seven Germans?
Thank you for sharing that. That discussion by respondents linking nationalism with Nazism is important for others to be mindful of.

Absurd comparison. I won't be arguing with you about it.

If it wasn't deniable by pundits like you, then it wouldn't be a dog whistle.

Happy cake day to both of you!

Tell me about the guys with the black and white American flag
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Almost all of them are traitors to their country. You won't see them at protests, and usually they're just thin-blue-line gang members. They don't fly the American flag, they fly a rendition of it that's clearly altered to show their black and white view of the world.

I heard they were playing "Fortunate Son" during the parade. If that's true, it HAS to be intentional irony by the DJ. There's no way anyone could be THAT clueless... right?
The song is about how the singer was drafted to serve in Vietnam; he didn't have the connections to get out of it. "I ain't no millionaire's son."

No lie. No matter the order of the stripes, you're going to come out with someone's flag.

Nothing will beat Trump's personal Seal of the President of the United States.

Unless the military has been controlled by the Russians for well over a hundred years, this is a standard military badge.
There is no gaff here, just a bunch of people who dont know what symbols the military uses.

It's not a gaff though.
This color combo and layout has been used by the us military for badges and medals for a very long time.
