I love the fact that the Russian general is dwarfed by big screen projections of the destruction his Russian air-force produced. Like the Russians are obviously tremendously proud to destroy the cities of their enemy that they have 20 foot displays of the rubble as trophies.

No American general would ever show a war display like that - American general seem to like to pretend we don't really fight wars - we hand out candy to people who fall in love with America and we get peace that way.

America, of course blows stuff up also - but it's like we are ashamed of it.

The Russian approach seems more honest and more victory oriented.

It’s an effective presentation I suppose, but he comes across like some Dr. Evil character from a low budget Bond movie.

Low budget Bond movie ? He looks more like a war correspondent from the winning side of WWIII. Contrast that with Betrayus wanting more Muslim terrorists in the US.

It ain’t 1957 anymore. Russia and the United States share more interests, and have more in common than ever. The ‘old guard’ thinks we are still sparring with Stalin or Khrushchev. A united front against islam (the religion from hell) would do wonders. Heck, bring China in on the deal. Want a thriving, happy and industrious planet? Unleash the consumer hungry middle class, without the terrorism. A rising tide raises all ships.

I hope Trump institutes a military parade in this country each year on July 4; soldiers, tanks and missiles on First Street Southeast, to show the world we’re not soft, as Barack Hussein wants us to be. Show the world that we’re great again.

I think it ought to be as you say - and what benefits would come from such an approach - secularism, economic activity, growth. But the US has somehow got itself on the side of state heavy Empires - the EU and its expensive army NATO - the expanding Turkish state - and radical Islamic groups who are meant to bring about “regime change”.
