I never read or saw this story in the American MSM but I think BBC news is a reliable news source

** This is the first I have heard of this, never saw it on American MSM and if I missed it here on DU sorry for
reposting !

But the orange pedo felon must be angry he wasn’t invited and I bet they were laughing at him. That said this story is scary as hell….

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un attending a military parade in the centre of Beijing, alongside Russian president Vladimir Putin and China's leader Xi Jinping, is quite the photo-op.
It's also a key diplomatic win for Xi.
The Chinese leader has been trying hard to project Beijing's power on the international stage - not just as the world's second-largest economy, but also as a diplomatic heavyweight.
He has emphasised China's role as a stable trading partner while Trump's tariffs upended economic relationships.
Now, while a deal with Putin to end the war in Ukraine continues to elude the US President, Xi is getting ready to host him in Beijing.
Kim's attendance, a surprise announcement, is no less significant. Trump said earlier this week, in a meeting with the South Korean president, that he wanted to meet Kim Jong Un again.

The parade on 3 September will see a display of China's military might to mark 80 years since Japan surrendered in World War Two, bringing an end to its occupation of parts of China.


This parade is going to be everything trumpie was expecting for his "big birthday bash". He will be green with envy as the troops pass by in perfect formation, followed by the majestically aligned tanks. It might just be the final stake to his heart. Here's hoping!

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Largest armies in the world. If I believed in End Times prophecy, I'd be in a hole somewhere right now. But it sure seems like some people believe in it. They're trying to make it happen. I guess they figure that it doesn't matter whether they make the prophecy be fulfilled or if it happens on it's own, either way it gets fulfilled.
