because when people point out that propagandistic military parades are for authoritarians and dictators, Cadet Bone Spurs can hide behind veterans.

our Congress in action. I read they are considering a North Korean style, military display for tiny hands and empty brain dotard in the fall. (No tanks, the pavement can't handle it)

Apparently, Emperor Tinyhands wasn't at all happy with just a few soldiers, a couple of high-school drum majorettes, and the local Shriners riding on miniature motorcycles.

Just like the Korea "peace talks"? We have a leader who is more insane than Kim.

I want to laugh, the tragedy is standing in the way.

this looks very much like theatrics designed to pump media interest in the NK negotiations over everything else that's going on.
2 weeks to go? certainly enough time for another flip-flop, probably not two though.
meanwhile NK and SK work out their own (long overdue) treaty and Trump takes credit for it in July.
i see showmanship all over this reversal, and everyone's falling for it head over heels
