What exactly can the UK do after Brexit that they couldn't do while member of the EU?

They can protect their borders? They could before: The UK was not part of the Schengen open-borders-agreement.

They can make their own diplomatic decisions? They could before.

Please don't fall for that "Down with the EU"-crap russian internet-trolls are peddling.
