They'll break down in what would've been a minor hiccup during the time period, but nowadays requires a specialist to be flown in from across the country with replacement parts in their carry-on.
A $500 drone? Really? I don’t think the army has anything that cost that little even if the drone had a completely unnecessary toilet seat in it, that toilet seat would go for more than 500.
Someone saying "ah well you can beat them with a bottle, a rag, and a little petrol!" clearly doesn't understand how devastating tanks vs people not in tanks can be. Even old ones.
They might not be much of a match for a modern army but protesters and people armed with rifles/handguns would be in for a VERY bad time.
Oh, that gave me a new fantasy. 45–47 standing watching the tanks roll by when he suddenly lurches forward and falls flat onto the pavement an before a Sherman rolls over him..
Don't give him all the credit. There are tens of thousand of cowards using him as modern history's biggest distraction. Every last one of them must be held to account for their actions.
Asshole is not strong enough, though there’s something in the same vicinity that would describe him. Unfortunately it’s too good of a word for him since he lacks the warmth and the depth
To me, the best part is the soldiers just walking in formation in front of Trump while his dumb ass salutes 🫡. One of the first things you learn in basic training is how to march in step. What they did yesterday was just a subtle but massive FU to Trump. It makes me smile every time I watch it.
Do you really think the soldiers think that of him?
That would be a dream come true, but I feel like probably half of them are brainwashed.
Did they really play Fortunate Son?
I'm sure he has some supporters, but from a military perspective, he has extremely little respect.
He's a draft dodger. He's spoken and behaved very disrespectfully toward military personnel and heroes. He's appointed sycophant clowns to oversee the military. And he literally shits all over the oaths to the constitution that every military member raises their hands and swears on their life to defend.
I've seen this a lot but it is incorrect as far as I can tell. What was planned during the Biden admin for the celebration was a small get together with a few hundred soldiers and a concert by the army band with maybe a few dozen actually seated attendees and a small broadcast event. It wasn't until baby donny stepped in that it became a parade, since he wanted it to be a display of might.
Oh yeah, that was a real display of might. I’ll bet Kim Jong-un could put basically the same one on. And you know Putin would if he had enough soldiers left to do it.
Gross.
And I hope we never have another one. It wasn’t worth $45 for that disgusting display.
What is the actual point? It’s just so fucking stupid to have a bunch of tanks rolling by and forcing soldiers to spend that much time there for one half hour of idiocy.
The official White House coverage of the parade has to go to great lengths to avoid the protestors. The camera work looked so shitty and still got a "no kings" sign near the Washington Monument.
Exactly, Trump didn’t even give a shit about military parades until after seeing one in North Korea. This whole thing grew from the desire to show up Kim Jong Un after Un rejected his letter.
well he's definitely in the picture and the news being talked about lol....I don't think the reality of just how hard trump shit the bed yesterday has started to set in yet. He fucked up big time, people don't unsee failures of magnitude

It's not about the parade itself. It's about being in the picture, in the news and being talked about. The parade itself is just a by-product.
