President Trump said Friday he is considering attending Russia’s Victory Day festivities, an annual May 9 military parade on Moscow’s Red Square that commemorates the Soviet Union’s World War II triumph over Nazi Germany.

And what’s wrong with celebrating 75 anniv of victory over Hitler?

[GCFADG]

Soviet Union won that war. Just ask Churchill.

[DoughtyOne]

Works for me.

Frankly it makes a lot more sense to try to remain cordial with Putin than to stick our thumb in his eye all the time, like the demoⁿcRats seem to want to do.

[DIRTYSECRET]

All he has to do is act impressed. Then invite Vlad to ours. What will the Chicoms think?

[beethovenfan]

Peach fo fi !!

[lightman]

Personally I have no problem with it.

But terrible optics for election 2020.

[frnewsjunkie]

if everyone doesn’t do things according to lefty rules... guess who is wrong.

Pres Trump does not shrink nor fear!!!!!

[frnewsjunkie]

yes and same with China and n korea

[roadcat]

Soviet Union won that war. Just ask Churchill.

I don't see a problem. The Soviets had great losses against Hitler, and almost lost control to that fanatic. They have every right to celebrate their victory. And they were one of our allies. Democrats forget that, and would rather relish our defeats.

The Soviets and Germans STARTED WW2 by plotting to divide up Poland.

[Meatspace]

Never go to a military parade in Moscow in the month of May.

[piasa]

He could send Schiff and Pelosi...and that little Russian-butt kisser wannabe-whistleblower Vindman or whatever his name is.

They closely coordinated Operation Bagration that destroyed the German Army Group Center, the largest German army group in Russia, with Operation Overlord, launching Bagration about six days after Overlord was launched. We grabbed the Germans by the nose while the Russians kicked them in the behind, enabling both of us to win in about 11 months after both offensives were started. Good idea to join the celebration.

[GraceG]

Trump is a NAZI... he celebrates the Soviet victory over the NAZIs.....

The left WILL say that...

[Sir Napsalot]

Ha, did Pooty Put also invite Obama with all his “more flexibility” in his 2nd term? After the Hillary red Reset button?

All those praisse about Obama/Hillary diplomacy, neither one cultivate a warm personal relationship with others.

[Right Brigade]

To paraphrase Stalin.
Britain gave us time,
America gave us money,
The Soviet Union gave the blood.

“Trump says he’s thinking about it.”

Trump: “ Only if I get a furry hat with a Red Star as a souvenir.”

[crosdaddy]

I’d opt for one of those mini giraffes if I were him.

[omega4412]

Trump should go. Lay a wreath at the statue of Zhukov and pay tribute to the infantrymen, tankers, and artillerymen who fought the great battles of the Eastern Front.

The Dems will just say he's going to Moscow so Putin can update the chip implanted in Trump's brain.

If Hitler hadn’t invaded Russia—the Communists in FDRs administration would have kept us out of war with Germany. As long as Germany and Russia were allies there would have been no war. Japan foolishly bombed Pearl Harbor and pulled us in over the will of the US people for peace. We might be speaking German, and driving cars made in Germany and Japan-—wait a minute...
