I'd always thought that astronauts would be above all this kind of thing. I have the utmost respect for them normally. Sad day.

My question would be how long have the astronauts been up there? Assumin they've been up there a while, this must've been a premeditated action, as they would've bought the flags with them.

I wouldn't call it a new low, as the Russians have been constantly setting new lows over the last few months, but this is horrible.

There was a Progress resupply mission in early June.
Nonetheless pretty sad to load terrorist flag on there assuming this is genuine.

As Mozzarella says though, on the ladder of Russian immorality this one is nowhere near the bottom rung

Sorry I’ve made a cheese of you!

Not to worry Ichy. I don't give edam.

They were probably bullied into it and, yes, it is awful.

Nice to see Lavrov ignored (apart from heckles) at the G20
And going home in a huff

yes, I don't like to think of what would happen to them when they landed if they disobeyed.

I wonder what will happen in Kazakhstan now President Tokayev is openly defying Putin - leaving their version of the EU, snubbing Putin’s “awards” and vowing to supply gas to Europe in future by bypassing Russian pipelines
