Trump's DoD Celebrates Russian Flag Day

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.

Academic Vincent Artman added, "Anyone who thinks the obvious Russian flags in the State Department's 'Flag Day' post are accidental clearly forgot when edgy little fascists working in the DeSantis camp 'snuck' a Sonnenrad into a campaign ad."

"The people making this content know exactly what they're doing," he added.

(wow, a new CSS layout for this most august site? Not sure yet whether or not I like it. That aside, where was I?...)

OK,here ...

From the cited article ...

... Geopolitics expert Jessica Berlin said, "Nothing to see here, just the United States Dept of Defense wishing everyone a happy Russian flag day."

Economics professor Roman Sheremeta said, "The U.S. Department of Defense congratulated Americans on their Flag Day. Except the two small flags are russian."

"This post has been up on the Department's X page for several hours. It is very telling about who is really running the U.S. Department of Defense," he added on Saturday. ...


So, why is Sec Hegseth congratulating Russia?

New site layout ...

That thing on the left is too wide. Pare it down to about half of what it currently is.(though, my preference might be, why is it even there?)

... New site layout ... ...

Yeah, I see it only on this thread, ... so far.

And, if I may add, I do not like the new layout. It seems to detract from the comments that draw me to this site.
