    Flags basically come in two groups in terms of ratio. Either cca golden cut or double ratio.


    Russian flag is 2:3 (0.667) ratio, which is the most common one belonging to the first group.

    These stripes you mention seem in ratio 1 to 5, so it's hardly a flag.



    Fabricated scandal really. You could have similarly claimed that US air force uses flag of Costa Rica.

    RicaNobody cares about the ratio. What matters is that it *looks* exactly like the flag of a rival nation that we're essentially at war with. Please show me some other examples of the American flag depicted specifically like this? I've seen it
    depicted with vertical bands, with a wider center band, or with the colors in different order. Usually such flags have stars or an eagle to make it distinctly American. What we see here is for all intents and purposes the Russian flag.It oddly
    coincides with Trump meeting with Putin by phone and discussing the possibility of PUTIN arbitrating a peace deal between Iran and Israel.



    Yes that's it, Trump put russian flag to signal his subservience.


    What's so odd about Putin arbitration can you tell me?
