Nah, I think this is just showing middle finger to Putin. Reflecting a desire to show who really decides if there is to be a parade in Moscow.
I mean a strike would probably be very unlikely anyway. The reason it’s been said out loud is far more interesting.
Consensus among international human rights organizations seems to be that Ukrainian strikes on Russia have been limited in scope and while they have certainly caused civilian harm, Ukraine isn’t known to directly target Russian citizens. Russia on the other hand is systematically and directly targetting Ukrainian citizens and strikes on Ukraine have caused significantly higher civilian casualties.
Also worth noting is that it is a military parade, albeit with civilians following it. Masking it as “a parade full of civilians celebrating the defeat of fascism” is dishonest. In reality it’s a pompous display of killing tools. I guess it needed to be said that this particular military parade will not be attacked.
It’s a military parade because fascism wasn’t won in the “marketplace of ideas” as liberals proclaim, but with tanks and guns.
Why is it dishonest to say that the event is full of civilians celebrating this historical event?
It’s one of the most relevant historical events to be celebrating because we will very soon need another one against today’s fascists that have taken over everything and everywhere.
It’s dishonest because that was not what was said. The wording was “parade full of civilians”. This is a military parade with most likely zero civilian participants, albeit there are civilians watching it.
Consensus among international human rights organizations CIA and state department cutouts seems to be that Ukrainian strikes on Russia have been limited in scope and while they have certainly caused civilian harm, Ukraine isn’t known to directly target Russian citizens.
Made it accurate. Kiev has long been targeting civilians, as evidenced by the drone strikes that targeted apartment buildings in Moscow as well as the many abuses in the Kherson counter offensive.
You did not “make it accurate”, you simply twisted my words based on your own imagination. Unless you’re willing to behave like an actual adult, I have nothing more to say to you.

For reference, parade full of civilians:
