Naturally a certain high-office-occupant (islamo-)Nazi isn’t there to commemorate our victory over the Nazis. Figures.
He’s in mourning.
Without a doubt.
Steven Segal was sitting in the “Invited VIPS” Audience section, in Red Square
On the “Islamo-Nazi” not attending; I think you are correct. While the U.S. and others may disagree with Russia on other issues, WWII, even after 70 years, is important over in Europe. I base my opinion with feedback from the many tourists I meet from Europe, both from the East as well as the West. Participation in Belarus wasn’t a bad idea, though. Didn’t see much about it in the news over here.

Be fair. Obamas grandfather was in the Red Army I think. I know that because Obama said he with the unit that liberated Auschwitz./
I cannot wait until our idiot in chief, who pretends to be educated, is gone.
Did they get that new tank to run so it could be in the parade?
“We have a turban engine like the Americans.”
“No.....turbine engine......turbine......that’s what the Americans have.”
“Damnit! I should have known a head wrap wouldn’t work.”
His socalled education consisted of memorizing Koran and then the communist manifesto with some Saul Alinsky added for a little sick humor. He knows nothing about America, Christianity, Judaism, the constitution ( no please don’t remind me) or the fundamental morality most Americans wish to see restored in what used to be our government. You couldn’t find a worse fit for the job requirements.

Putin brought back May Day Parades and a lot of the trappings of the Soviet Empire... the “glory days”
Of course at the time of the fall of Berlin the Soviet armies were the overwhelming dominant military force in Europe but that equation entirely reversed only a few months later with the detonation of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. Now the balance of power (assuming the production of a few more bombs by the United States) was entirely in favor of the United States who were in exclusive possession of that weapon until the Soviets exploded their version in 1949. During this window no attempt was made to bring the Soviets to account for their war crimes, indeed, no intent was made to free the slaves and satellite states of Eastern Europe who came under Soviet occupation.
At the time of the fall of the Berlin wall in 1989, no attempt was made to bring the communist regime in German Democratic Republic to the bar of justice for their crimes. At the time of the fall of the Soviet Union no such effort was made.
There is undeniably a double standard when it comes to the crimes of the left as opposed to the crimes of the right.
The victory of the Soviets of The Great Patriotic War was not a victory of a lesser evil over a greater evil but of one kind of evil over an another kind of evil.
Hillary?
The only people ever held “Accountable” in the GDR were Honecker, and a few other top GDR leaders.
They were not held accountable for Crimes like the mass murders in the NKVD “special Camps, or the later crimes of the Stasi, but for the killings of those attempting to escape from the GDR to the west, across the Berlin Wall.
And even then, Honecker managed to avoid penalty in the end for “health Reasons”.
I wonder if the ruskies ever fixed their busted tank. Nothing like a shiny new multimillion dollar piece of equipment crapping out just driving down the street. Imagine the disaster if it actually gets hit.
Even worse, communists were incorporated by way of the green movement into the governing of the unified Germany and European Union. I am exposed to neighbors who see Uncle Sam as the Great Satan but are apparently incapable of recognizing any evil on the left.
The conspiratorial paranoia here in Germany against international financiers (read Jews) is growing daily yet the bigotry is so primitive and ill-informed that they have never even heard of George Soros. But God help the fool who publicly denies the Holocaust in Austria.
Read the horror stories of the Mark 1 M-1’s....
There were several copies (9, I think) of each series of the Armata platform. The IFV/AFV version is HUGE, it seems.
Putin and Xi Jinping were laughing their asses off with each other at one point during the parade.
I couldn’t tell, but it looked like someone told an Obama joke.
I can definitely see that happening
