What did Chad do?
Chad basically had a dictatorship until 2021. They had "democratic" presidential elections in 2024 where the old dictator's son won.
Not a very chad move of them
Chad Romania vs Virgin Chad
And the Virgin Islands are Stacy, somehow. /s
Chad is named like DPRK - it's aspirational of the country
Oh I thought Simion was elected president of Chad? Not by the people of Chad, but...
The loser used the chad flag by mistake, I think it was on some social media.
But I still don't get the joke?
Are you sure? It's literally the same flag, just with a slightly different dark blue (by official standards).
You are right the two flags are basically identical, however the blue is darker on the chad flag:
Considering the blue is VERY dark on the flag used, it's fair to say it's clearly more Chad than Romania.
However the OP picture is probably supposed to be the Romanian flag, so not a joke on that incident, although by comparison to Moldova it does look like the flag of Chad was used again.
But rather that Romania and Moldova prevented a fascist president, and USA didn't.
Lol, fucking Simion.
Colourblind I am...
It's most likely Romania considering Moldova is at the back.
