A Grand Birthday/Victory Parade for 14 June?

14th June is Donald Trump's 80th Birthday and rumours are bubbling up on anti-social media that he's frantic about wrapping up the Iran business so he can claim a win (single-handed, all glory to Donald) and combine birthday celebrations with a victory parade.

I do hope any parade won't be the shambles it was last year, when the military silently expressed their opinion of the President by shuffling along casually, in battle fatigues, hardly looking at Mister President and obviously wishing to be anywhere else........

I remember the squeaky tank.

Hmm.. maybe Iran will drag their feet .
They are in a position to scupper this, simply by being very slow in their negotiating.

Probably Trump's Victory Parade cum Birthday will be just as great a success (sic) as the ones Putin has been holding every year since he attacked Ukraine.

A bit like his pals in Russia,China and N.Korea then! Trump fits in with that group quite nicely...

I remember the squeaky tank.

... caused by a lack of maintenance?

Modern tanks shouldn't squeak, unless the tracks have been misaligned... or sabotaged grin.
