If this pathetic, diminished display of a severely depleted military doesn't force the Muscovites to start asking questions about Putin's "Special Military Operation" then nothing will.

Global warming considerations?

Is this what an electric tank will look like?

Why provide targets?? And I believe the tank was supposed to be symbolic of something...so not about their tank force.

The Tank is 83 years old...so 1940. Totally symbolic.

I must be the only person in the world who recognizes how ridiculous it is to draw such wide ranging conclusions based on parade composition.

IIRC The hapless Rooskie army took a few tanks off of their monuments and got them in running condition. Then sent them to the Ukraine fronts.

There’s no way of knowing if this is real or not.

Still have out your Pom-poms for Ukraine even after it’s exposed as totally a money-laundering scheme. Solid effort propping up this heist where there is no good guy on either side, and Biden and the MIC profit as inflation soars.

14 min parade which saw the opening note of the music freak out Putin and his entourage, Putin who turned and walked away rapidly before being told it was just music, as his allies milled around in confusion.

This is just proof of what an idiot, Timber. Russia has plenty of tanks ready to roll on the battlefield:

If you think Russia not having tanks in the Parade means that they’re running low or are out you are huffing the most intense Copium/Hopium hybrid.

We literally saw this yesterday…

The lone tank is a warning to Ukraine, that Russia will throw everything into the fight - that Ukraine cannot sustain.

"This year, however, the only tank on display was a T-34 model dating back to World War II."

And just like 1941, it's going right to the front...

“The globalist elites keep insisting on their exceptionalism; they pit people against each other, split societies, provoke bloody conflicts and coups, sow hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, destroy traditional family values that make human a human,” Valdimir Putin 5/9/23.

Note rhe flags flown on the tanks in both 22 and 23. In 23 it is clearly the old Stalinist hammer and sickle on a red field. While not fully visible, in 22 the flag was clearly red.

Regarding the drone exploding over the Kremlin dome a few days ago, one rumor said it concerned a dispute over which flag to fly over the dome. I imagine younger Russians don’t like the old USSR flag and would be more likely to use the modern drone to try to take it out.

Someone suggested the 2 men on the dome catwalks were official snipers. It is just as likely they were there to change the flag. They were NOT badly hurt by the explosion, and the dome was not structurally damaged. It was a SMALL explosion, probably not from Ukraine or the US.
