😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 France under micro-Macron is a full blown joke 🤣

[@kimdelo9795]

‘Russian interference,’ lol. The French don’t need Russia’s help to screw up the Olympics, they’ll do that on their own.

[@zeruonch1596]

XD bro speaking facts

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

It would be so much simpler just to have a white flag.

[@jivkotodorov84]

This is traditional french flag

[@WalkOverHotCoal]

Oof

Default exhaust/contrail is white...

[@dquzmanovic]

So, it is Russian flag, after all.

[@fooveyron3080]

URAAAA…..

[@user-nl7fy4nq3f]

Thank you french pilots for creating Russian flag in order to celebrate Victory Day with us🇷🇺🏅🫡 Deeply appreciate🤝
Merci beaucoup🫶

[@paulkuras18]

Whatever you say Russia still winning

bro is delusional

[@seekorkucing69420]

​@@Brandon_Curingtonhow he is delusional?

[@szekhar]

Ok, so if you were standing exactly under the planes the flag was correct...😅

[@user-hywUmdzeAbibj]

I still don't get how those colors can switch when you look at them from different angles

[@ceu160193]

If planes aren't at same altitude, depending from your angle of view, order of colors will change.

[@user-hywUmdzeAbibj]

@@ceu160193 thank you

[@Gal384]

Nobody forced them to fly the planes at different heights. What everyone saw from the two sides was in fact the Russian flag. The truth is the French should have done their homework before making the Big F### up

[@dquzmanovic]

Exactly. They have spatial perception of 5 y.o.

[@dicksonkipkoech2410]

What propaganda why do you admit they did it

[@bakeccho1924]

Why are you so upset😂

[@antonioespanja8237]

Photoshop, they painted Russian flag

[@B.G.-ml8ut]

am I right is considering that the video with the Russian flag and the one with the French flag ate non only taken from 2 different angles, but also in 2 different locations?😉
If I am wrong, still in the video woth the French flag the planes all fly in perfect line, in a "plane", so the "different angle" explanation doesn't work

[@AG-lf7pb]

Maybe different years? 🤔

[@r4ybc]

Still an F Up.

[@Ellesar925]

Chief, isn't the X user called Trollboy?
Doubt 'information' is part of their schtick😅

[@SkyMaXX5]

Lol, but they actually drew the Russian flag. Those who say that this is not so and vice versa if you look at it will be the French flag, then this is stupidity. Otherwise it would be the flag of Serbia. 🇷🇺🇷🇸
But not France🇨🇵.
Funny mistake, isn't it?

[@Ellesar925]

So it's a bit like that white or blue dress gag from back in the day?

[@clownphabetstrongwoman7305]

The one that Bill C wore?

[@joachimschreiber7835]

So it's THE POINT OF VIEW. when will you get it with your frantic anti russian stance?

[@somelight4all]

So ot's russian false Flag again? :) SURE? Which one? :) 3:28 ?

[@trisarmadani]

Mercy beoucupe for your data and documentary, finally its like come out from the small hole nail in small line, who always follow from behind..

[@abrakkehakka1357]

Nah… some said it was the Serbian civic flag (🇷🇸 without the coat of arms). I think it was the Dutch flag though 🇳🇱.
But you should have seen when the US Air force attempted to “paint” the Star Spangled Banner. Now I know the true reason to why they need them B-21s. You have pilots to do the 50 stars with a few B-52s doing carpet bombing runs! No… you need precision and stealth!
And no Russian trolls, you can’t convince anyone that the simplicity of the Ukrainian flag 🇺🇦 being a reason to why we shouldn’t send them advanced western fighter jets! What’s up next? Putin calling the Polish flag 🇵🇱 a “Special Russian flag”?

[@xandr13]

Fun fact - russkis simply stole the Dutch flag back in the day (like they do with all things), but had to invert it to legitimise.
