17. NBC just "forgot" to mention that May 9th (10th in Russia) is the 70th A. of Victory Day in Europe

May 2015

I dislike the blatant, unapologetic anti-Russian propaganda, and purposeful manipulation of the history behind this news story.

26.6 million Soviet dead (soldiers and civilians) - Some researchers put the figure at 40 million Soviet dead
14 million dead and missing Soviet military servicemen and women.

If the Russians didn't have a parade to commemorate their WWII dead, NBC would think up a headline about how uncivilized and barbaric they are. Because they had a parade, well, it's a provocation against the USA.

I don't appreciate the spin, and the assumption that we Americans are too stupid to notice anything.

on edit: In the video, President Putin THANKS the Western Allies in his speech for their role in the victory over Nazism (USA & Canada, France, UK, and other nations). More NBC bullshit comes to light...
