The speaker discusses the upcoming May 9th Victory Day parade in Moscow, commemorating the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory in World War II. This event is especially significant to Russia and is being celebrated with much buildup. However, concerns are raised about security risks, given the ongoing war with Ukraine and past drone attacks on Moscow.

The speaker criticizes Ukrainian President Zelensky’s recent comments, where he hinted that Russia should be worried about potential attacks on that day. He suggests that while Zelensky may be detached from reality, such a move would provoke severe retaliation from Russia.

A key part of the discussion centers on retired U.S. General Ben Hodges, who publicly stated that the parade is a legitimate military target because it involves troops and captured Ukrainian equipment. The speaker finds Hodges' comments irresponsible and dangerous, arguing that encouraging such an attack could lead to massive Russian retaliation—potentially even targeting Kyiv in ways Russia has so far avoided.

He notes that while Ukraine and Russia are at war and strikes happen on both sides, there is a difference between what one can do versus what one should do, especially if the outcome worsens Ukraine’s strategic position. The parade, unlike a weapons factory, also involves civilian elements, making it a far more sensitive target.

The speaker strongly opposes the idea of striking the parade, warning that it could remove the restraint Russia has shown so far (e.g., not targeting Ukraine’s leadership or major government buildings) and lead to a dramatic escalation of the conflict.
