Putin’s elegant parade on Red Square was to be held on the Day of Victory over Nazi Germany – a holiday in Putin’s country! But it got terrible. For a despot!
The Kremlin tycoon Vladimir Putin (69) presented bankruptcy: no win parade!
Particularly embarrassing: during the parade, which had already been cut in half, the Luftwaffe remained on the ground: because Putin’s “flying Kremlin”, the command center of Putin’s air force, was said to have been flawed.
This meant that there was no central plane for an air show where fighter planes, bombers and other military planes were to create a Z war in the sky. So: rejection.
A few minutes before the start of the parade, the Kremlin canceled an air show. Apparently because of bad weather. The real reason, according to insiders: “Putin’s doomsday jet” Il-80, which flew over Moscow during the dress rehearsal, was to have technical problems. Photo: TATYANA MAKEYEVA / REUTERS

Red Square bankruptcy display matches Putin’s record of war so far:

In addition, there are thousands of wounded.

Business
According to estimates, the Russian economy will collapse by 15% in 2022. Almost all Western corporations and investors withdrew and factories closed. Aviation is on the verge of collapse due to lack of spare parts and maintenance from the West. And: China is waiting, relying on a weakened Russia to keep on a leash.
insulation
Russia can only rely on partners like Iran, Syria and Venezuela. China and India are still watching the situation. The Saudis are content with the high price of oil. But it was so with friends of Russia.
United opponents
Putin counted on the indecision of the West and shaky candidates like Germany. Instead, NATO and the West are united as never before – against Moscow.

Even after 74 days, Putin did not achieve his military goal: he was not able to overthrow the leadership in Kiev – on the contrary: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj (44) became a world star. Kyiv was not conquered, Kharkiv was not captured, not even the port city of Mariupol.

Putin even had to shyly curse the Russians for mini-goals: Instead of destroying Ukraine, as declared at the beginning of the war on February 24, now it is about “security in the Donbas” …
Splendid Putin – his super tank only takes place in parades
BTR “Boomerang” has been on Russian parades since 2015. Even today, seven years later, not a single copy is operational. The leading killer drone “Uranium-9” has officially been in service with the Russian army since 2016. But their only “battle tank” remains Putin’s polished parade.

Putin’s embarrassing speech on “Victory Day”
Not a victory speech!
In his speech on the “Victory Day” over Nazi Germany, the Kremlin ruler Vladimir Putin (69) did not announce the extension of the war against Nazi Germany, which many feared. Ukraine in. He also did not provide a schedule by which the Russian campaign against the western neighboring country should be completed. It is also strange: the word “Ukraine” never crossed his mouth.
► Instead, Putin justified the invasion as an act of self-defense: the West, as Putin thundered, prepared “an invasion of our country, including the Crimea.” Russia’s war of aggression was therefore “the only right decision” for a “sovereign, strong and independent country.”
The German government immediately rejected Putin’s justification for the invasion: the reference to the alleged threat from the West and NATO was “unfounded.”
