Trump’s army parade was neither the totalitarian North Korean spectacle that critics had grimly predicted, nor the triumph of MAGA nationalism fans craved

      That’s with as many people as they could pay $1000 and some fast food to attend.

      Ah … As someone with clearly different expectations (living in Russia) I’d say everything except being unable to march in lockstep and showing Coinbase ads was kinda fine, the big costume show in Russian parades doesn’t really cause any feeling of reverence and such.

      US military doesn’t have to show anything big on parades, because it, ahem, has modern jets, nukes, air carriers in bigger numbers than some countries have infantry vehicles.

      Probably a military ceremony should be organized better, but … it’s a theater anyway. A kind of that falling out of relevance, too.
