Silicon Bites #141 - Putin's Victory Day in Moscow was a Triumphal Celebration of War and Aggression

Edition No141 | 10-05-2025 - World leaders attending the military parade in Moscow to mark the end of the second world war bring shame on themselves and their countries. This is what Donald Tusk of Poland said, and I completely concur. Shaking hands with, embracing, and even normalising a blood-thirsty tyrant and killer, and one that is actively engaged in a war with genocidal characteristics against its neighbour and former colonial subject is revolting, despicable, morally bankrupt.

Tusk says this after Slovak prime minister Robert Fico became the only European Union leader to attend. Orban was perhaps too concerning about the fragile political situation in Hungary, in case once he left the country he couldn’t return. And the home for involuntarily retired dictators and Kremlin puppets in Moscow is becoming a little overcrowded at present.

“I try not to comment on the decisions and behaviour of leaders of states, especially from our community,” Tusk told a news conference. “But there is no doubt that being at the victory parade in Moscow and applauding President Putin … brings shame to everyone who is there.”
