June 6, 2024, D-Day was remembered. Eighty years ago the Allies landed on Normandy. Biden quite properly gave praise to the few remaining soldiers who were in attendance. He improperly compared the war between Russia and Ukraine as comparable to WWII with a call for the current generation to be ready to emulate.
Vladimir Putin was not invited. Over 20 million Russians were killed in WWII. This compares to 400,000 Americans. This could have been a coming together event between Russia and NATO with the objective of ending this tragic war. There was a time as NATO was being created that Russia wanted to be included. They were rejected and after the Berlin wall came down we assured that NATO wouldn’t expand towards Russia, but they did. Thirty Two nations are in NATO today. In the current conflict an estimated death count both sides is 500,000. It is unbelievable that this could be happening today.
