Last week the British Embassy announced that British, French and American troops would march with Russian soldiers on Red Square to mark the 65th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. The Brits said in a statement that the parade may mark the first time British troops have marched in Red Square; I believe the same observation applies to the American troops that will join the parade.

Obama strikes again.
Please tell me this is a Parody, please.....
aaaahhhhhhhhh I can’t take it anymore!!!!!
You have other sources?
this story was posted also just a couple days ago....if its true and not vanity i would implore the us troops to refuse to march....
And we have Obummer, Gates and Mullen to thank for this...
Renaldus Magnus is rolling in Simi Valley...
shameful...
Forced to support the Prez for signing nuke deal with Russia? God in Heaven do not dessert us! This would amount to an international declaration of defeat of the Republic of the USA!
ECOMCON
They will be there to help the Russians celebrate obama pledging to cut our nuclear arsenal by 1/3 (treaty agrrment announced today)
Looks like West Point will have to add “Goose step 101” and “eyes right to Vladimir Lenin” to the curriculum
Obama is an enemy of the United States and must be removed from office. I’m sorry if this comment draws undue attention from Homeland Security, but it is the truth.
He is trying to disarm us, he is trying to destroy the economy and the future of the country, he is damaging our long-standing alliances, he is standing by idly while hostile regimes acquire weapons of destruciton.
HE IS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE!
HE IS AN ENEMY OF THE STATE!
No, you are an enemy of the state./s
War makes for strange bedfellows, during the 2nd World War , the Big Three were Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and believe it or not Joseph Stalin.
Together they defeated Germany.
China as our ally helped to defeat Japan.
CELEBRATING WORLD WAR 2 VICTORY..(We WERE involved) They still teach history in public school, don’t they?
NO
This, if true, is the most ‘WTF’ moment so far.
Honestly, I’ve had mixed feelings about this. Yeah, the USSR was our co-belligerent against the Nazis (I like to call them co-belligerents; they weren’t really allies). Americans don’t really have an understanding of the staggering cost and sacrifice they made to not just win, but in the worst part of the war, to merely survive. Estimates are 8,000,000 to 11,000,000 combat deaths (KIA, died of wounds or disease, died in captivity as POWs). Another 20,000,000 civilians are estimated to have died.
I can see why they would want to commemorate the event, and to invite those who fought alongside them as participants. And if you want to honor the average Ivan who fought to defend his country, on that basis, I would accept the invitation.
On the other hand, it was an evil regime, led by a tyrant more evil than Hitler, and that in victory denied more people their freedom over a longer time than the Third Reich. The images of Stalin just don’t go over very well, and that means the current regime is not separating the evil regime from the ceremony.
So it’s a dicey issue. I probably would have declined attending and politely told the Russians to not extend an official invite not in disregard of the Soviet veterans, but in honor of Stalin’s victims.
(not being a thread gestapo, just drawing attention to details on the past thread)
US servicemen will participate in the Victory Day Parade on Red Square in Moscow on May 9, Alexander Vershbow, assistant defense secretary for international security affairs said. The Americans will celebrate the 65th anniversary of Victory in WWII, the official said.Vladimir Kozhin, an official spokesman for the administration of the Russian president, confirmed that Moscow had invited France, Britain and the United States for the parade. The French were the first to agree. They now decide soldiers of which troops will march in the heart of Moscow on May 9.
