President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday announced plans to rename Veterans Day as "Victory Day for World War I" and establish May 8 as "Victory Day for World War II."
"We won both wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything," Trump wrote in the late night statement. "That's because we don't have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!"
The move to rename Veterans Day " established to coincide with the end date of World War II " would overwrite 87 years of precedent in recognizing Nov. 11 as a national holiday celebrating all veterans.
No reason for us Suckers and Losers to be celebrated. Trump again gives Veterans a kick to the nads.
Who is going to tell ------- WW2 didn't end until 9/1/45?
No one. They're all scared as hell of him.
Let's campaign for 15 Feb to be a US national holiday: c8.alamy.com
What you saw in the link above is a photo of the last Soviet soldier to depart Afghanistan on 15 Feb 1989. That ten year invasion cost the Kremlin 14,453 to 26,000 KIA, a paltry number compared to the 900,000 slaughtered in Ukraine. But 2026 may see Russia reach the fabled one million death mark for their army.
Yes, that Russkie in the photo bears a slight resemblance to ousted Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
