May 9 parades across other regions in Russia have been cancelled this year over 'security concerns'.
VLADIMIR Putin paraded nuclear missile launchers, tanks and thousands of war-ready troops this morning ahead of his triumphant Victory Day event.

Ahead of the patriotic event, Russia's fearsome intercontinental nuclear missiles were pulled through the capital's streets in a show of force to the West.
Huge columns of troops marched towards the Red Square and even children in oversized battledress joined in the military festivities.
The real events will be held on Thursday under intense security, with reports suggesting that Moscow's centrepiece show will be scaled back this year.

Last year, Victory Day was also cancelled across a swathe of Russian territories with a pared-down event in Moscow that featured barely any heavy duty military equipment on display.
Like this year, local governors cited "security concerns".
Putin only spoke for 10 minutes and the entire event was over in well under an hour.

You'll see plenty of them next month. Sadly, they'll be for "pride" month.
I believe today is the day Volodogomyr Ellensky becomes an unelected dick-tater rather than a president. Russia justice ministry have filed unspecified charges against him and he is now on a wanted list. Doggo’s foreign ministry trans gay black AI generated spokesbot says “iss sign of Russiank Desperation and only vay ov gettink attention”. There will be a reckonink in blud. Too many peoples too angry. There’s goink to be hell to pay and we’ll be lucky to come out alive.
false. Doggo has pushed it too far. Unconditional surrender, two weeks.
That display of captured western goods is a huge propaganda win for Moscow.
Take pictures for us, if you're in Moscow.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZ
Awww, bummer. So you didnāt even get to work up a sweat, metamucilmus?
Maybe later this week you can achieve maximus bliss.

Biden's general election strategy: Less is more
Story by Mike Memoli ā¢ 1d ā¢
[excerpt]
The less-is-more approach aims for quality over quantity when it comes to the presidentās public appearances, aides said.āThereās a strategic advantage at this point in the race to boiling down your message to the three or four most salient, compelling arguments for why President Biden should be re-elected,ā said TJ Ducklo, the Biden campaignās senior adviser for communications. āThat will often translate to the stump [speech] being whittled down to its sharpest, most dynamic form. Thatās what youāre seeing.ā
The approach also has the appearance of a strategy aimed at minimizing the potential for Biden to make mistakes in a razor-close election. Some of Bidenās verbal missteps have occurred when heās talking at length, veers off the prepared text or answers a reporterās question when that wasnāt part of the plan.
That is bargain for eight dollars!
