ALBAWABA - A post was shared on the X platform by the Pentagon has caused wide controversy on social media after people accused it of mixing the American flag and the Russian flag.
The buzz began when the American Department of Defense posted on X to celebrate the US Flag Day and wrote a caption: "Happy Flag Day! Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all."
The post also read: "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."

However, in the photo below, it read "Flag Day" with the American flag on the side, while on the two sides surrounding the sentence, people claimed that the department mistakenly added two Russian flags.
Meanwhile, despite the fuss regarding the photo shared by the American Department of Defense, some people defended it by saying the colors that were said to resemble the Russian flag are nothing but two dashes in the colors of the American flag (red, while and blue).
Many asked people not to overanalyse or exaggerate some things, and said this is nothing but a "silly design mistake".
