65th Anniversary Red Square march of defeating Nazi Germany

[~~whimsy~~]

Last week the British Embassy announced that British, French and American troops would march with Russian soldiers on Red Square to mark the 65th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany. The Brits said in a statement that the parade may mark the first time British troops have marched in Red Square; I believe the same observation applies to the American troops that will join the parade.

The AP helpfully explains that Victory Day is Russia's most important secular holiday. It adds that the Kremlin plans a larger parade than usual this year, with good reason. The Kremlin will be celebrating the addition of the British, French and American troops.

Given his detestation of the Brits, Barack Obama must have agonized about dispatching American troops to join them in Red Square. Nevertheless, the opportunity to march with a dictator hostile to the United States proved irresistible in the end. If only the Israelis had gotten there first, perhaps Obama would have begged off.

Maybe the three of them can all bully on the French. Just so they remember their role in the war.

Yep, nobody was better at capitulating within the first of year of a war than the French. Had that been an Olympic event, they would have taken the gold every time.

Since our troops don't goosestep, they should be learning a really awesome Stomp routine like this
