If only we had a “reset button” we could use to soothe relations with Russia.
Via Daily Mail:
Russian business owners are using American flags as doormats as resentment over U.S. economic sanctions puts the squeeze on traders.
Customers have been filmed wiping their feet on the fabled stars and stripes as they enter and exit stores across Moscow, as struggling retailers take a hopeless swipe at their Cold War adversaries.
Negotiations between the two nations are currently deadlocked over Russia’s involvement in the Ukrainian crisis and the U.S. has initiated hard-hitting economic sanctions to try and force a compromise.
In the video, the store owners’ anti-U.S. sentiment is clear, as doormats emblazoned with the U.S. flag are positioned in doorways and corridors.
Customers are then filmed walking on the flags as they enter and exit the stores.
