Victory Day in Russia is May 9 – which also happens to be Mother's Day in the United States. It is a holiday that commemorates the end of World War II when Germany surrendered. American troops will take part in this year's Victory Day parade in Moscow for the first time in history, according to the New York Times.

Another bow to foreign powers by the pretender in chief?

There have been threads on this for the past month.
The mainstream media has spiked the story.
There will be no pictures of US troops marching behind Stalin’s portraits. There will be no mention of the 61+ million murdered by the Soviets. There will be no pictures that do not flatter Russia.
I wonder, will the troops that are marching know if the Russians they are following are veterans of the Georgia invasion? The Afghan invasion? Will the medals on the old vets be from when they flew fighters and shot down US pilots in Vietnam and Korea?
Just curious.

"the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the [20th] century" -Russian leader Vladimir Putin on the collapse of the Soviet Union...
"World democratic opinion has yet to realize the alarming implications of President Vladimir Putin's State of the Union speech on April 25, 2005, in which he said that the collapse of the Soviet Union represented the 'greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century.'

I'll stick with the traditional Polish date for the end of WW2. After the Yalta Betrayal by FDR and Churchill, Poland was not freed of foreign domination, despite their heroic contribution to fighing fascism from the outset of the war, but instead 'given' to the Russians when the defeated NAZIs finally withdrew.

This illegitimate state of affairs continued until the events of 1989 when Poland finally shook off the Russian occupation. Which marks the true end of WW2.

I doubt the Polish Army will be marching with the Red Army in Moscow this May. Which country is more communist-influenced now, the USA or Poland?

This is nauseating. The only person who was equally a fan of the Soviets was Truman, who at that point was just following his master FDR and sent thousands of German POWs from Soviet territory back to the USSR, knowing perfectly well that they would be killed immediately.

These were people who had been captured fighting for the German army, and some of them were ethnic Germans from areas that had then become parts of Russia, while others were White Russians who saw joining the German army as the only way to attack the Soviets. We kept them in POW camps here for years, and then we sent them back to Russia, even though many people were pleading with us not to do that. And they were all killed.

Above: Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov signs the Nazi-Soviet Non-aggression Pact while German Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop and Soviet leader Stalin look on under a portrait of Lenin, August 23, 1939. News of the Pact stunned the world and paved the way for the beginning of World War Two with Hitler assured the Germans would not have to fight a war on two fronts.

"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communism’s crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."

Great photo - beautifully laid out - like ancient Rome, but even better

Our cities are laid out willy nilly.

Boston is a nightmare - built up over old Indian footpaths.
