The 2019 Moscow Victory Day Parade is a military parade that took place in Red Square in Moscow on 9 May 2019 to commemorate the 74th year anniversary of the capitulation of Nazi Germany in 1945.
It is the biggest and largest of all the parades scheduled to be held on this day in Russia and many former republics of the Soviet Union.

The annual parade marks the Allied victory in World War II on the Eastern Front, on the same day as the signing of the German act of capitulation to the Allies in Berlin, at midnight of 9 May 1945 (Russian time).
President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin will deliver his sixteenth holiday address to the nation after the parade inspection presided over by Minister of Defense General of the Army Sergey Shoygu, accompanied by the parade commander General of the Army Oleg Salyukov, Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Ground Forces, who will be in the parade for the sixth straight year.
As in past pre-jubilee parades, the parade serves as a preparatory celebration and a national kick-off to the 75th Diamond Jubilee celebrations of the Allied victory in Eastern Europe over the Axis Powers slated for May 2020, while also honoring the men and women of the Armed Forces who were deployed in Syria previously.

 
Thanks for the reminder.
The Russians suffered at least 20 million civilian casualties repelling the German armies. The German soldiers weren't all Nazis, of course, most were just ' patriots ' caught up in the paranoia of their nationalist leader.

Caution. There won't be any victory parades after WWIII.

all kidding aside, there are a few really bad news Phobes - Eric Swalwell is the very worst

Swalwell mocked for comparing Trump-Putin phone call to Bush calling Bin Laden after 9/11
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/sw...tin-call-to-bush-calling-bin-laden-after-9-11
Remember that time Pearl Harbor was bombed and FDR called the Emperor of Japan? Or the time the Twin Towers were struck and Bush ringed Osama Bin Laden? No? I don’t either. So why’d @realDonaldTrump call Putin after the Mueller Report was released? #CommanderInCheat

First identify the real warmonger-

"As of 2019, Iran’s state sponsorship of terrorism worldwide remains undiminished through destructive actions by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF), Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), and Tehran’s proxy Hezbollah. So, Iran remains a threat to stability of Lebanon and broader Middle East."

Iran funds Hezbollah

"During the 1980s and 1990s, a wave of kidnappings, bombings, and assassinations of Western targets, particularly American and Israeli, occurred in Lebanon and other countries. The attacks, attributed to Hezbollah, have included:

The 1982-1983 Tyre headquarters bombings
The blowing up of a van filled with explosives in front of the U.S. embassy in Beirut killing 58 Americans and Lebanese in 1983.
The 1983 Beirut barracks bombing of the U.S. Marine and French 'Drakkar' barracks which killed 241 American and 58 French peacekeepers. On May 30, 2003, a U.S. federal judge ruled that Hezbollah carried out the attack at the direction of the Iranian government.[24]
The 1983 Kuwait bombings in collaboration with the Iraqi Dawa Party.[25]
The 1984 United States embassy annex bombing, killing 24 people.[26]
The hijacking of TWA flight 847 holding the 39 Americans on board hostage for weeks in 1985 and murder of one U.S. Navy sailor
The Lebanon hostage crisis from 1982 to 1992.[27]
According to Middle East analyst James Philips, an August 1989 bombing in London was a failed Hezbollah assassination attempt on Indian-born British author Salman Rushdie, after the Iranian government put a $2.5 million bounty on his head over the novel The Satanic Verses.[28][29] Iranian officials have repeatedly called for Rushdie's death as recently as 2005.[30]
The bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Argentina killing twenty-nine people in 1992. Hezbollah operatives boasted of involvement.[31]
The bombing of a Jewish community center in Argentina killing 85 people in 1994. Hezbollah claimed responsibility.[32] Argentine justice accused Iran of being behind the attacks because of Buenos Aires' decision to suspend a nuclear material delivery and technology transfer.[33]
The 1994 AC Flight 901 attack, killing 21 people, in Panama. Hezbollah claimed responsibility.[34]
The 1996 Khobar Towers bombing, killing 19 US servicemen. On December 22, 2006, federal judge Royce C. Lamberth ruled that Iran was responsible for the attack, stating "The totality of the evidence at trial...firmly establishes that the Khobar Towers bombing was planned, funded, and sponsored by senior leadership in the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The defendants' conduct in facilitating, financing, and providing material support to bring about this attack was intentional, extreme, and outrageous."[35]
The 2012 Burgas bus bombing, killing 6, in Bulgaria.[36] Hezbollah is believed to have carried out that attack on its own accord, without any Iranian involvement or foreknowledge.[37]

Islamic Jihad is widely believed to be a nom de guerre of the Lebanese Islamist political movement and social service agency Hezbollah, which was founded in 1982 with many millions of dollars of aid and considerable training and logistical support from the Islamic Republic. Many believe the group promotes the Iranian agenda and that its goal is to overthrow the moderate governments in the area and create Islamic Republics based on that of Iran as well as the destruction of Israel.[1] Iran has supplied the militant organization Hezbollah with substantial amounts of financial, training, weapons (including long range rockets), explosives, political, diplomatic, and organizational aid while persuading Hezbolla to take an action against Israel.[38][39][40] Hezbollah's 1985 manifesto listed its four main goals as "Israel's final departure from Lebanon as a prelude to its final obliteration"[41] According to reports released in February 2010, Hezbollah received $400 million from Iran.[39]

Its methods include assassinations, kidnappings, suicide bombings, and guerrilla warfare. It is believed to be one of the Islamic resistance groups that made suicide bombings common use. Other attacks credited to Hezbollah include:

Firing of hundreds of rockets into northern Israel on a daily basis and capture of Israeli soldiers in 2006.[42]
According to a senior U.S. intelligence officer, the 2005 assassination of Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri was carried out by Hezbollah at the direction of Iranian agents.[37]."

It is quite remarkable how many monuments, memorials, shrines, commemorations, museums, exhibits dedicated to the Great Patriotic War exist in Russia and Belarus, probably Ukraine as well. There are reminders of the Great Patriotic War everywhere. You cannot throw a rock without hitting one. And from what I can tell, they are universally treated as hallowed ground by citizens.

There is no way for Americans to even understand what the citizens of the USSR had to endure. It was an apocalypse, a fight to the death, their survival was on the line. Oceans of blood were spilled, and every family was directly effected by death and tragedy. Russians have told me that their people suffered just as much as the Jews did. I am not going to argue with them about the uniqueness of a vast program clinically designed for the mass murder of an entire people, but I take their point and can empathize with it. The suffering and death experienced by the citizens of the Soviet Union is completely outside our capacity to grasp and understand.

Yes- and just watching in excess of a million marching past today , carrying memorabilia of their fallen, is enough to convince me that Russia will never be defeated as a nation- so we might just as well quit the moronic sabre-rattling and be friends. That commemoration is worth it from that viewpoint alone.

Yes- as a result of NATO's failure to stand by its non-encroachment agreements- thus precipitating the Ukraine fiasco- and the ' Russia-gate ' nonsense between Republicans and Democrats which served to distract from Tel Aviv's flagrant US election interference - the results of which we are seeing right now with the Izraeli/Kersher ' Peace Plan '. Throw in US failure to break Syria at the behest of Izrael, thwarted by the Russians - and we see a great divide between a Russia doing nothing but defend itself and an aggressive America in the hands of the Corpulent Carrot. Not good.
