"BREAKING: Donald Trump's failed summit with Vladimir Putin backfires in horrifying fashion as Russian forces are spotted riding into battle in Ukraine with American flags flying from their vehicles.
And it gets so much worse....
Russian state media broadcast footage of Russian troops racing into battle inside a captured American M113 Armored Personnel Carrier with the U.S. flag flapping beside the Russian flag. RT, the outlet that aired the humiliating footage, described the vehicle as a "trophy." The footage was captured near Mala Tokmachka in the Zaporizhzhia region in Southeast Ukraine.
The timing of the footage release sends a clear message: Russia views the Alaskan summit as a massive propaganda victory. They are simultaneously trolling a humiliated Trump and using the PR victory to demoralize Ukrainian forces. The implication is that Russia "owns" the United States now and we might as well be an ally in their war against Ukraine.
"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 Andriy Yermak, Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine.
"In fact, Russians are using United States symbols in their own terrorist, aggressive war with the killing of civilian people. Maximum audacity,” he added.
"The Russians have already declared the United States an ally and are storming Mala Tokmachka in M113 armoured personnel carriers... with Russian and American flags,” said Petr Andryushchenko, head of Ukraine’s Centre for the Study of the Occupation.
“This is the logical conclusion to all of Trump’s absurdity. And all of this is on the official propaganda channel of Russia Today. There are no words," he added.
"The Russians put American flags on their armoured vehicles next to the tricolour and are driving around the occupied Ukrainian land," stated one Ukrainian outlet according to The Daily Mail. "This is all you need to know about the result of the negotiations in Alaska."
The stunning broadcast was released just hours before Trump was slated to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House. Since the summit on Friday — during which Trump predictably failed to obtain a ceasefire agreement from Putin — Trump has been pushing Russian propaganda points and arguing that Zelensky has the responsibility to end the war by accepting unfavorable terms.
This outcome is exactly what many experts predicted. Putin a former KGB officer schooled in geopolitical maneuvering and fascist statecraft. Trump is a former reality TV star in the midst of a worsening pedophilia scandal. Putin just wanted a PR win on the world stage and Trump just wanted a distraction from Jeffrey Epstein coverage. In the end, both men got what they wanted and the world is worse off for it."
Put that in your smoke and pipe it.
