Trump team wanted tanks, missile launchers in parade

Humor, I has it.

Why do I feel so horribly, and completely out of the loop here?

a reply to: Kryties

I did, they needed launch sites, not trucks


Nasty Frenchmen also parade their tanks




their roads don't get damaged though

The original source is "a member of Trump's transition team"

Sounds familiar. Like "sources in Kremlin"

Who was the source. Seems to me Trump must not be too serious about it if the source is scared to reveal his name...

Ya, members of Trump's transition team could be compared to members of the Kremlin. Some are probably one in the same.

Cute little tanks.

Dictatorial Japanese too

a reply to: Indigent

Is that Tokyo?
I think not.

And here's some more from Sputnik News -- they should be good since they're Russian and all, right? That's "real" since it comes from a Russian government owned news source, our best new friends, right?

Sputnik (pronounced spʊtnɪk) is a news agency, news websites and radio broadcast service established by the Russian government-controlled news agency Rossiya Segodnya.[2] Headquartered in Moscow

Apparently Trump actually talked about himself. I actually heard the audio of this transcript myself:

US President-elect Donald Trump would like to hold military in parades in Washington and New York.

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US President-elect Donald Trump said in an interview released Wednesday that he would demonstrate the country’s military in parades held in Washington and New York.

"We’re going to show the people as we build up our military, we’re going to display our military," Trump told Washington Post. "That military may come marching down Pennsylvania Avenue. That military may be flying over New York City and Washington, DC, for parades."

Yeah. Well.
I remember a Forth of July parade. We had a nice flyover of F-15s. No tanks though. No missile launchers.
In 1991. Like I said, I like jets.

Have any of you guys been to DC? It's kind of swampy. I'm honestly not surprised that unless it was wartime or an emergency the Dept. of Defense wouldn't really be thrilled about tanks on the street.

A lot of the roads in DC are pretty old, and as I said -- it's built in a pretty wet/mashland area.

Those actually look like Chinese knockoffs of Russian tanks. The turret is a give away.

Clever. If I do recall correctly, 1991 was the year the Soviet Union fell. . .

*facepalm*

I tried HARD not to go there!

No matter what, it seems DC will always be swampy. Between the Goldman Sachs guys anointed to the cabinet to the very land itself.

That place is just a boggy, swampy mess!

a reply to: Indigent

Dang. We suck.


But I hear the Japanese have small hands too.

a reply to: Kettu


Actually, it had more to do with Desert Storm.

With all the communist military parade porn going on in this thread, China was left out so here.....

Then again, DC *IS* built on a swamp. The ground isn't the best there.

You're kidding. I never knew that. So it was actually drained at one time then, for real. Good precedent. Good omen.
