Vladimir Putin's ass.

But a lot of countries designate red, white, and blue as their national colors. There are different protocols to display those colors.

I learned this through personal embarrassment years ago, when I confused U.S. bunting with French bunting when I was asked to decorate a civic club's hall for Independence Day.

This is U.S.bunting, from the center out ..... red, white, and blue, in the usual order in which we refer to our national colors.


This is French bunting, from the center out ... bleu, blanc, et rouge, in the usual order in which the French refer to their national colors.


I only post this because it might help someone avoid the mistake that I made.

I don't care about Russian bunting or what that protocol might be.
