Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said on Saturday that nobody could guarantee that the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv would survive to see May 10 if Ukraine attacked Moscow during World War Two victory celebrations on May 9.

So why hasn’t Zelinski attacked in prior years? [...]

Ukraine has launched numerous drone attacks against Moscow in the past, and will undoubtedly continue to do so in the future.

Ukraine attacking Moscow on that date invites the real possibility that War breaks out.

War has already broken out. It broke out more than three years ago. Russia has forcibly annexed vast swathes of Ukrainian territory, killed hundreds of thousands, etc.

From the point of view of the rules of war, May 9 is a day just like any other.

I would love to see Putin, himself, get hit by a drone.

Regards,

You truly are uninformed. The Special Military Operation has parametrers that prevent Russia from prsecuting war. There are limitations on the number of soldiers, the level of force, and prohibitions on killing enemy government officials.

War would allow for the targeting of the enemy government officials and employees. It would remove the political leadership’s self imposed limitations on the damage allowed by the Russian military.

Of course Ukraine would love to drag the US as their sponsor into the war.

Trump has officially ended his time period where he could be considered a departure from the Biden/US policy and Trump is now continuing Biden’s War.

Russia may well target the sponsors of the Proxy, e.g., Ukraine, if it becomes an actual war.

Russia, you jackass, is not remotely communist.

Russia has had 13% flat tax rate and has spent billions under Putin building churches.

You're ignorant, moron with severe case of Russian Derangemet Syndrome.

But, I couldn't give a hoot about that.

The base if not tolerating wasting more money on a war that has nothing to do with our national interests, continues to cost taxpayers money and that Ukraine is losing and will continue use.

Piss off, Zeeptard.

This guy would turn Kiev into a glassed over parking lot.

I can easily see an attack on Moscow during the Victory parade as getting tacnuke dropped on the loon....

Is Ukraine going to celebrate on May 10th...the day their Nazi SS Galicia units surrendered to the allies?

Excellent post.

Also, let’s not forget that Ukraine allows and happily celebrates gay pride parades. Such parades are forbidden in Russia.

Sorry, but Ukraine doesn’t sound that “Christian” to me.

A little tidbit I just found: In December 2022, the Ukraine Supreme Court approved the use of "emblems linked to the SS infamous 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS, also known as the 1st Galician Division, a notorious Nazi-aligned unit" as legal to use in the country. So you can wear WWII Ukraine Nazi symbolism, but you're really not a Nazi if you do so. Ha Ha!!

Ukrainian court rules SS division's symbols are not Nazi

How much of my taxpayer money has been spent on pride parades in Ukraine?

Countries like Ukraine always hold pride parades when they're waging war with another country don't they? It's the elections they ban, the media they oppress, the opposition political parties they ban, the churches they close down, and ban all men of impressment age from leaving the country. Sounds like a great country. One I want all my tax dollars to go to.

The day they handed out brains, I bet you thought they said "pains" and you said you didn't want any.

"Attacking Moscow and (hopefully) disrupting Putin's vainglorious "Victory Day" parades would constitute a public humiliation of Putin and an all-around p.r. coup"

Yeah, that's a great idea. Just like Hitler signing a non-aggression treaty with Stalin, and then turning around and invading Russia embarrassed Stalin to the point that Russia kicked Germany's ass all the way back to Berlin. Careful what you wish for.

There are some posters who attempt to portray Ukraine as a “Christian Paradise”. In my Bible, Gay Pride parades aren’t Christian and are detrimental to children.

I’m not stating that Russia is a Christian country. I’m only stating that neither is Ukraine. Ukraine can hold all the gay celebrations they want. Just don’t pretend that Ukraine is so “holy”.

Regarding the war, I wish Ukraine good luck. I’m opposed to more of our money being sent there and am violently opposed to boots on the ground in Ukraine.

"Guess you want nazism here."

Too late for that. Communism has been here for decades already, because while we were fighting communism overseas, we took our eye off the ball here and domestically-grown communism blossomed here and has been flourishing ever since. Sad that you've never realized that.

You assume I’m a man. That’s all I need to know about you, Ms. Williams. And I don’t respect name callers. You sound like a liberal that can’t argue facts, but instead lobs verbal slurs.

We don't ban elections either, even when we're at war, but fascists do, and they also ban opposition political parties, but go ahead and ignore those facts about Ukraine. Pride parades are a priority in Ukraine, but sending young men to die in war before they even get a chance to vote is second on their priority list.

What do Nazi Germany and Ukraine have in common? They both had SS units. They both oppressed the media. They both banned elections, and also banned opposition political parties. Germany today is planning on banning the AfD Conservative Party claiming it's far right. There's your fascists right there.
