Victory Day Is a Lie – And Putin Just Proved It
Every May 9, Russia stages what it calls a celebration of victory. This year’s parade made clear what that celebration has become: a hollow ritual in service of a regime that has stolen the memory of a war it is now determined to repeat.
Let’s start with what happened on Red Square today.

Never Again Is Now
After the defeat of the Nazis in World War II, the United States and European nations adopted the phrase “Never Again” as a solemn vow — a commitment to prevent the repetition of genocide and the atrocities committed in the 1940s.
Today, history is repeating itself — this time with a new fascist regime known as ruscism, determined to erase Ukraine as a nation.
Timothy Snyder, a distinguished historian at Yale University, has meticulously documented the evidence of russia committing genocide. The russian state news agency, RIA Novosti, even published a manifesto outlining a plan for the complete eradication of the Ukrainian nation — an open call for genocide (something even Hitler never did). This, combined with the well-documented atrocities, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed against Ukrainians, leaves no room for doubt.
Right now, in this finest hour, Ukrainians are standing on the frontlines, defending the West from ruscism.
The free world must stand with Ukraine. Otherwise, “Never Again” will become a hollow, shameful reminder that — even after the horrors of 𝖧𝗂𝗍𝗅𝖾𝗋 — we have learned nothing.
………………
Two facts to remember about World War II in Europe:
- More Ukrainian civilians were killed than russian civilians.
- More Ukrainian soldiers died fighting the Nazis than American, British, and French soldiers combined.
Today, Ukraine continues to pay the price, fighting the rashists.

In reality, that’s what today’s parade in Moscow looks like.
For your notice, the washing machine and other toiletries were stolen from poor families in Ukraine by Russian soldiers.
A Russian soldier killed a Ukrainian family in Bucha. The soldier was angry that the Ukrainians have water systems while he goes to offload his own 20 meters from his house.
That’s the country that says it’s one of the richest in the world. Ok, let’s assume it is true.
Putin Must thank Zelensky
Putin should send a letter to President Zelensky, thanking him for granting his request to let Russia have the Victory Day parade in Moscow.
Putin had earlier lost hope of celebrating because Ukraine’s threat to disrupt the parade was serious.
That made Putin call Trump to help beg Zelensky and Ukraine for a 3-Day ceasefire. Ukraine agreed after a discussion with Trump.
Ukraine holds the card to ending this war. They should start hitting military targets everywhere in Russia. They must maintain their policy of hitting no civilians and civilian targets.
Putin will end this war soon.
Professor Timothy Snyder has written extensively about putler’s fascism. His first article on this appeared in 2014. Here is one from 2022 :

Unfortunately, the democratic world has failed to acknowledge what putler and his regime is.
No world leader will use these words, yet all are demonstrably true :
Fascist
Terrorist
Genocidal psychopath
If you can stomach this fucking bilge, putler wants to commence negotiations with Europe. The little cokksukka chooses Gerhard Schröder to head these negotiations!!
Vladimir Putin suggests Ukraine war is ‘coming to an end’

Fat chance that the Europeans will accept this greasy, slimy Schröder as a negotiating partner.
I suggest Kaja Kallas to lead EU negotiations.
She’s the best of a weak bunch.
But putler would not accept her because he knows that she knows what he is and how soviet shit “negotiates.”
In any case negotiations can only work if putler’s shithole country, nazi regime and depraved “army” are going right down the shitter.
What might work :
A full NFZ
An intent to send four divisions of combat troops into Ukraine.
A TOTAL stop on ALL travel, trade, diplomatic relations, sporting and cultural relations.
An expulsion of ALL putinaZi passport-holders, except accredited democratic opposition.
At the moment the rat nazi is still super confident because a) europe is still weak and b) the krasnov regime is with team putler.
