The #VEDay commemorations this year in #Britain, #France, #Canada & other US #allies will mark 80yrs since the end of #WWII in #Europe after #Germany’s surrender.

Trump’s claim that the #US “did more than any other Country” [his capitalization] to defeat #Nazi Germany might be contested in #Russia, which marks #Soviet victory in WWII on May 9. Russian Victory Day, which is meant to honor the 27M Soviets who died, is a national holiday & 1 of the most important days on their calendar.

Trump post: Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result on World War II. I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II and November 11th as Victory Day for World War I. We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything — That's because we don't have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!

I still can’t quite comprehend the mentality of someone who’d want to do this. Apparently they loved the attention the story received, and I hope they’re enjoying the attention they’re receiving now. One suspect denied cutting the tree down, despite the fact the police found a video on his phone…

Wat de #Britten bezielen weet ik niet maar blijkbaar zijn ze 2016 Brexit referendum door Nigel Farage gedaan vergeten. Nou die #Brexit was geweldig: NIET!
Nu doet hij het nog een keer maar nu op lokaal niveau. Als ze hem kiezen dan verdienen ze ook niet beter. #localelections2025 #Britain #NigelFarage #rememberBrexit
