Putin to Send ‘Doomsday’ Warning to West at Russia’s WW2 Victory Parade
US News | 5/6/2022A fly-past over St. Basil’s Cathedral will include supersonic fighters, Tu-160 strategic bombers and, for the first time since 2010, the Il-80 “doomsday” command plane, which would carry Russia’s top brass in the event of a nuclear war, the Defence Ministry said.

The Kremlin did not respond to requests for comment on what Putin might say in his speech, to be delivered from the Red Square tribune in front of Vladimir Lenin’s Mausoleum.
Straight Line of the Day: Also coming out of the Russians’ Victory Day parade: …
…a very stern warning that it’s pronounced St. Basil’s Cathedral and not St. Basil’s Cathedral.
It ain’t gonna have a rainbow flag, I’ll tell you that.
More collusion rumors than you can strum a balalaika to
… evidence of new construction at Lenin’s Mausoleum, purpose unknown…
…rumors of a big trade between Cuba and Russia – political sanctuary in exchange for two proxy wars to be named later…
… several of the Russian generals seen on the parade grandstand were merely cardboard cut-outs…
T-72 tanks… disguised as large wooden badgers.
…a lot of use of the phrase, “I definitely think he’s overcompensating for something.”
“Good news, tovarich. Our new estimate is that we shall achieve total victory in only 17 years, instead of the three weeks originally projected.”
Much like “two weeks to flatten the curve”
“We have finally succeeded in weaponizing borscht.”
The borscht bazooka!
…a whole mess of kopeyki to pay the toll to Mariupol’
Vodka…. Always Vodka.
I dunno . . . that Underdog float looks kind of . . . Zelinskyish.

Kamala had a Fly Over, but I’m afraid you’ll have to assemble your own joke from here.
Did she write “Surrender Dorothy” in the sky?
No, no….that was Hillary.

Blood, sweat, tears and a thermobaric shart.
