Journalists with Russian state-run media mocked the military hardware featured in President Trump’s “Salute to America...”
During a broadcast of Russian television show “60 minutes,” which airs on the state-owned Russian television channel, Rossiya 1, journalists mocked the military equipment in footage of the hardware captured in Washington earlier this week...
“The paint on these vehicles is peeling off. There are no cannons, and their optics have been glued on with adhesive tape,” co-host Olga Skabeyeva claimed during the program.
“Americans are allowed to hold a parade because theirs is democratic, but we are not allowed because ours is chauvinistic,” Skabeyeva also said.
In a tweet featuring footage of some of the military equipment arriving in Washington, D.C., Skabeyeva wrote with in Russian with a "laughing" emoji: “Tanks in the streets of Washington, Trump is preparing for the parade. Putin’s America.”
Yevgeny Popov, a co-host on the Russian program, also mocked the equipment, saying sarcastically: “The greatest parade of all times is going to be held today in Washington, that is what our Donald Trump has said. The American president announced he would show us the newest tanks."
He later claimed “these are Abrams and Sherman tanks, used during World War II and withdrawn from service in 1957.”

The dems will say that proves collusion.
You would think the Soviets...er...Russians might be more circumspect.
In the vast majority of cases, anytime our hardware has gone head-to-head with their hardware, they have not only lost, but lost badly.
Even with ours being overused and held together by “tape”.
Anyone who has much of anything to say in agreement with the Soviets-er...Russians, has their head up their nether-regions.
Putin was, and is, in the end, nothing more than a corrupt KGB thug with all that goes along with that.
Funny how the American scum leftists and Ruskies can’t get their talking points right. There is one thing in common in that Russian 60 Minutes is pure BS like American 60 Minutes.
Seemingly, neither Russia nor the Russians will ever join the union of democratic nations. It is, and they are, trapped in an oriental despotism from which there is no escape.
Olga should stick to pissing on beds the Obamas slept in.
Seems to me the Russians have far more to worry about than a couple of US tanks and a few US aircraft.They sound like CNN.
Dan Rather and Walter Cronkite?!
LOL
It’s odd. I have personally liked a lot of Russians I have met, but their governments...good gosh.
There have never been such evil and despotic governments on such a large scale as the Soviets and the Russians, though there have been smaller ones even more evil.
We were lucky. Having been under the thumb of a relatively (relatively speaking) benign government as the English, who even then had one of best governments of that age.
For the most part, they didn’t want to crush us like bugs though there were a few places and instances they did) they just thought we were ungrateful and rebellious and wanted us to toe the line.
If we had been the Afghans and the Soviets or the Poles and the Nazis, our towns would have been flattened and the entire populations of those towns, men, women, and children would have been eradicated.
Stupid, extremely stupid.
What has 148 million pairs of thumbs abd doesn’t work? Russia...
Russia GDP $1.5 Trillion...
U.S.A. GDP? Nearly $20 Trillion, making us 1/2 human & 1/2 amazing...
Number of people fervently desiring to emigrate to Russia? Who T.H. knows...
Number of people trying to enter USA for a better life? Millions and millions.
Number of people who to be like Russians? Too few to count.
Number of people who want to be like or become Americans?
Well, ain’t no one buying Russian crap
Russia’s sister channel here, CNN, did the same thing.
Did anyone expect anything different?
Looks like a Russian useful idiot here. She got to say all that she wanted via a Russian journalist.
