Link to tweet
In the wake of President Donald Trump's summit with Russia's Vladimir Putin in Alaska, Kremlin propagandists are going wild with a new video intended to humiliate Trump, The Daily Beast reported on Monday.
In the video, broadcast by the Russian propaganda network RT, Russian troops in Ukraine can be seen "cruising into battle in a captured American M113 APC, which they described as a 'trophy,' while flying both the U.S. and Russian flags in tandem."
The display of an American flag was not lost on Ukrainian observers.
How should this be understood? Russian propagandists are showing a video where Russian equipment goes on the attack with flags of Russia and the USA, said Ukrainian Presidential Office chief Andriy Yermak, a close associate to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In fact, Russians are using United States symbols in their own terrorist, aggressive war with the killing of civilian people. Maximum audacity.

OP
Almost kind of like the 'end days', where Russia and the US became allies. Is this a prelude to those times?

Maximum audacity would be flying the US flag when the US was under an administration not complicit with Putin.

I'll be the first to admit that the 'end times saga' is one I don't believe in 100%. But there is a little bit of 'maybe?' in the back of my mind. I'll have to dig up some end times scenarios/clips, refresh my feeble mind again.
