Putin humiliated as Russian Navy 'too scared' to hold flagship parade
Express UK ^ | 7/25/2025 | John Varga

Russia's navy has been forced to cancel its annual flagship event in St Petersburg, in a humiliating blow for Vladimir Putin. Navy Day is a major national holiday and is held on the last Sunday of July, celebrated by the public and military alike.

The event is used by the Kremlin to show off its latests ships and technology, as it attempts to project its naval power to the watching world. As the maritime capital of Russia, St Petersburg holds a Main Naval Parade along the River Neva, which is normally attended by the Russian president. Usually ships from the Northern, Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea fleets take part in the jamboree.

Last year about 200 ships and vessels were part of the flotilla that made its way along the river from the mouth of the Baltic Sea, cheered on by crowds crammed on the embankment.

However, the committee organising this year's event has confirmed the parade will not go ahead this Sunday (July 27). At the same time concerts and fireworks displays that were part of the celebrations have also been cancelled.

Refreshing, to see young white women unspoiled by hideous tattoos.

“No....but “Z” is nuts...’

Are you referring to the same Zelensky that outsmarted the Legendary Vlad?

Yeah, like that.

In one video some poor old guy, about late 50’s, maybe early 60’s is being chased by one and the guy tries to swat the thing with his AK and then the picture cuts out, *BOOMSKI! No more Russki!

I’ve seen them, and the tanks and trucks as well, but I’m not aware of a single nation that is buying into the idea that drones are now the end all of weapon/counter weapon development.

The lesson the Russians and North Korea have taken from their war.

Russia’s navy has never amounted to any threat to anyone.

That’s pretty funny.

You’re saying that a small non nuclear country somehow is using the fear of nuclear war against mighty Russia.

I think we are all too afraid of WWIII.

A lot of the fear of the consequences of a WWIII results from propaganda put out by progressives in the 70s and 80s. Today we hear of "globalists" and "globohomos," but the forerunners of these people were active in the previous generation putting out ideas of "nuclear winter" and other exaggerations of the effects of a nuclear war. It is surprising that so many conservatives have bought into that propaganda so heavily, especially considering the source of these overblown fears. The goal of the previous generation of globalists wasn't a world government. Rather, their objective was the unilateral nuclear disarmament of the USA, paving the way for a communist utopia.
