Twin celebrations of the Army’s 250th anniversary and the president’s birthday will include as many as 25 tanks rolling through Washington.
Twin celebrations of Donald Trump’s birthday and the Army’s 250th anniversary will include as many as 25 tanks rolling through Washington in a celebration that will cost $25 million to $45 million, U.S. officials told Reuters on Wednesday.
U.S. military service branches take pride in their history and anniversary celebrations, called birthdays, across the United States and on bases around the world.
The U.S. Army had long been planning to move troops and equipment to the National Mall in Washington on June 14 as part of its anniversary celebration. Plans now include a parade since that coincides with Trump’s 79th birthday.
Two U.S. officials told Reuters, on condition of anonymity, the eventual cost could be as high as $45 million. One of them said the cost included several million dollars more than it would have without a parade.
I support the criticisms, but history will just see this as the thousandth time this has happened across the globe, and not nearly the only place it’s happening right now.
Generally speaking revolutions like you speak of are not a feature of the modern world. They only happen when a stronger and more wealthy outside force helps drive them. That’s notably not something that can happen in the strongest and most wealthy country in the world.
In America they dont your docile the rest of us over throw our fascists
Oh, sure. That’s why there are no other fascists in power anywhere in the whole world.

So? How many of these happened without the outside instigation and assistance I mentioned? Copying and pasting a list of every revolution is kinda missing the point. Also, how many of these ended up with as bad or worse dictatorships?
Lots did and mostly in the 20th century because of America fucking about with goverments to stop socialism so might be karma
