Powerline
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.
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.
US, British, French troops to march on Red Square
MOSCOW — The British Embassy says British, French and U.S. troops will march with Russian soldiers on Red Square to mark the 65th anniversary of the defeat of Nazi Germany.
It said in a statement Thursday that the May 9 parade will include a Royal Air Force band and a detachment of Welsh Guards.
The statement said the parade may mark the first time British troops have marched in Red Square.
The U.S. Embassy confirmed that U.S. soldiers will take part in the parade.
Victory Day is Russia’s most important secular holiday. The Kremlin plans a larger parade than usual this year.
The timing is particularly bad in that, for the first time in many years, the City of Moscow is planning on putting up posters of Stalin as part of its Victory Day celebration. So Obama will be able to honor not only the would-be dictator Putin, but the real thing.

US Servicemen To Take Part in Russia’s Largest Victory Parade Ever
english.pravda.ru
US servicemen will participate in the Victory Day Parade on Red Square in Moscow on May 9, Alexander Vershbow, assistant defense secretary for international security affairs said. The Americans will celebrate the 65th anniversary of Victory in WWII, the official said.
Vladimir Kozhin, an official spokesman for the administration of the Russian president, confirmed that Moscow had invited France, Britain and the United States for the parade. The French were the first to agree. They now decide soldiers of which troops will march in the heart of Moscow on May 9.
If all is arranged as planned, it will be the first time when foreign military men will step on Red Square pavestones as participants of the parade. Russia invited only military attaches of foreign embassies for victory parades before.
“The parade in 2010 is a special one. It will be the largest parade that has ever been held in Moscow during the post-Soviet years. We plan to use 130 planes and helicopters, as well as military hardware from private collections in the parade,” a spokesman for Russia’s Defense Ministry said

Wild Thing’s comment……
I don’t like this idea one bit . Russia is not Communist anymore because of Ronald Reagans tough stance against the USSR which led to their downfall. Also Stalins image will be plastered all over Moscow for the Victory Celebrations for our troops to march by. Let it be noted that Stalin killed more Jews than Hitler did and also Stalin provided Migs to the Communist North Koreans to engage our American troops in the Korean War.
US troops in Red Square and a communist in the White House. sheesh We should not march in Moscow because of the enslavement of Eastern Europe.
Obama’s Red Mentor Praised Red Army
Barack Obama’s childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA (CPUSA), wrote a poem dedicated to the Soviet Red Army. “Smash on, victory-eating Red Army,” he declared. He also wrote poems attacking traditional Christianity and the work of Christian missionaries.
The “Red Army” poem goes beyond hoping for the communists to beat the Nazis in World War II and hails the Soviet revolution. It says:
Show the marveling multitudes
Americans, British, all your allied brothers
How strong you are
How great you are
How your young tree of new unity
Planted twenty-five years ago
Bears today the golden fruit of victory!
One Davis poem, “Christ is a Dixie Nigger,” dismisses Christ as “another New White Hope” and declares:
“Remember this, you wise guys
Your tales about Jesus of Nazareth are no-go with me
I’ve got a dozen Christs in Dixie all bloody and black…”
The revelations about Davis’ poetry will add to the controversy over what kind of role Davis played in shaping Obama’s political views. Davis (1905-1987) seems to have had the same kind of anti-American outlook that animated Obama’s longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright. In fact, Davis was pro-Soviet, not just anti-American.
The controversial poems are included in the book, Black Moods, a collection edited by John Edgar Tidwell, a professor at the University of Kansas and expert on Davis’ writings and career. He confirms that Davis joined the Communist Party but that he publicly tried to deny his communist affiliations.

Will they be required to goose step?
First the Red Chinese flag over the White House, now this. Can anyone doubt that obama is a Marxist?
The last time we had troops there, the Russians stole a B-29 to see how to make one. But with this bastard they won’t have to steal obama will give them the plans.
So this is what that Clinton Trollop engineered!!!
I just threw up.
God forgive me because I hate this man’s ideology.
Obama makes me ill.

1.1 Short summary of the US-Russia Arms Deal: BAD for US, GREAT for Russia. (My remark: The ACW blog has a link to the White House briefing on the US-Russia Arms Deal, and a detailed summary of the treaty, at http://www.armscontrolwonk.com/2674/prague-treaty-fact-sheet .)

2.1 I side with Dr. Anastasio, Dr. Miller, and Dr. Hunter, due to the fact that I want a STRONG US nuclear arsenal. (My remark: Mr. Obama prefers zero US nukes.)

Impeach Obama
Chief, good one, thank you so much.
George S. Patton is spinning in his grave right now.
Tom, excellent point, adding all these things up there is no way he can claim otherwise that’s for sure.
Mark, thanks for mentioning that, I had forgotten about it. Your right Obama would just say help yourself to them.
Jack, yes and it sure is wrong in so many ways. I don’t care if England wants to do it, we are not England.
cb, I know exactly how you feel and I feel the same way about him.
Anon, great links and information, thank you so much. Really appreciate Anon.
I agree with you, he has GOT to be impeached and asap.
The President of the United States, and the Prime Minister of Great Britain, also praised the Red Army during WWII. It is normal to praise your allies during wartime.
BTW: According to dictionary.com, anti-American means “opposed or hostile to the United States of America, its people, its principles, or its policies.” Doesn’t this mean that anyone who is hostile to American government policies is “anti-American”?
JohnE, he sure is. Thank God we had Patton we need more like him. Good to see you JohnE.
Mark2, well here is the thing. This is exactly what OBAMA is doing and is about.
“opposed or hostile to the United States of America, its people, its principles, or its policies”
He IS hostile to the USA, his constant apologizes, his hate for our Constitution, his wanting to have BIG government, his NOT listening to we the people when the majority do NOT want his obamacare which in turn he is ruling not leading and setting himself up as a KING not a President as our Founding Fathers wanted for our country. Obama is agasint the principles and our policies of our country as well.
So YOU Mark2 just described YOUR Obama. Your President, not mine.
I love my country, but I hate our government as it is under Obama and his ilk. That does not make me anti-American it means I want to follow our Constitution, to respect it, to have small government and NO Kings, to appreciate what our Founding Fathers set up for our country and thank God we have been that way till Obama landed on the scene.
Obama is dangerous to our country and he proves it every day he keeps turning us into socialism and communism with his agenda. And that is NOT America, he is destroying our country.
Gotta love Dr. Zhicago and his Baracksheviks comrades!
General Marshell is who I credit with saving the United States in the WWII.
As fir the 65th anaversery I just do not know. If Obama wasn’t so much dumber that Putin I would feel better.
Well Mark2 you go march in RED Square, if it is so friggin friendly to the United States, that is if you got the nads to even serve.
Anti-American that defines Obama, he’s anti-everything that is American. He spent a month last year running around the world apologising for the United States. He was embarrassed for the Emporor Herihito because he had to sign a surrender document aboard the Uss Missouri. Oh yeah obama is such a ‘mensch’,. Well the goddam Japs started that war and we finished it.
Grow up and start supporting the good guys for a change. Not the Communist bastards in the white house, who by the way would take your God given rights away if given half a chance.
