I wonder if there will be pictures of our troops marching behind portraits of Stalin.
I wonder if our troops will be marching along with troops that invaded Georgia.
Paraphrasing a Polish General: ‘With the Germans you lose your life, with the Russians you lose your soul’
Moscow, which is sure to be decorated with the standard communist icons and flags.
Plenty of photo ops for allied troops in that setting.
The Ruskies will certainly parade march in Red Square, (that's the goose step for you young 'uns).
There are gonna be some Europeans wettin' their pants over this.
The Reds were just as wretched as the Nazis.
Had Hitler not been so paranoid, he could have handed out rifles to the Russian civilians, who would have gladly marched to Moscow with him.
Instead, he wound up 60 miles short.
“Among the foreign leaders planning to attend are French President Nicolas Sarkozy, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Chinese President Hu Jintao. “
Who WON’T be attending? Prime Minister of UK and neither Barack Obama or Joe Biden. And not because they are busy, but because Putin doesn’t want them there!
Which brings me to question, why are our troops going if our leaders aren’t invited? Is Obama THAT much of Putin’s buttboy that he will publically be snubbed this way?
What? Polish and French troops, but no Canadians who fielded more than 1 million armed forces and took almost 100,000 casualties in WW2 ?
Must be part of Euro revisiionist history.
Stalin started WW2. See “Chief Culprit: Stalin’s Grand Design to Start World War II” Viktor Suvorov
http://www.amazon.com/Chief-Culprit-Stalins-Design-Jacket/dp/1591148383
“A former Soviet army intelligence officer, the author explains that Stalin’s strategy leading up to World War II grew from Vladimir Lenin’s belief that if World War I did not ignite the worldwide Communist revolution, then a second world war would be needed to achieve it. Stalin saw Nazi Germany as the power that would fight and weaken capitalist countries so that Soviet armies could then sweep across Europe. Suvorov reveals how Stalin conspired with German leaders to bypass the Versailles Treaty, which forbade German rearmament, and secretly trained German engineers and officers and provided bases and factories for war. He also calls attention to the 1939 nonaggression pact between the Soviet Union and Germany that allowed Hitler to proceed with his plans to invade Poland, fomenting war in Europe.
Suvorov debunks the theory that Stalin was duped by Hitler and that the Soviet Union was a victim of Nazi aggression. Instead, he makes the case that Stalin neither feared Hitler nor mistakenly trusted him. Suvorov maintains that after Germany occupied Poland, defeated France, and started to prepare for an invasion of Great Britain, Hitler’s intelligence services detected the Soviet Union’s preparations for a major war against Germany. This detection, he argues, led to Germany’s preemptive war plan and the launch of an invasion of the USSR. Stalin emerges from the pages of this book as a diabolical genius consumed by visions of a worldwide Communist revolution at any cost—a leader who wooed Hitler and Germany in his own effort to conquer the world. In contradicting traditional theories about Soviet planning, the book is certain to provoke debate among historians throughout the world.”
