Please happen again during the parade 🤞

I cannot possibly imagine that they are not planning to make the attempt.

Wouldn't that mean lots of civilian deaths? I don't like Putin but wishing for innocent people to die seems dark.

Shit happens. Don't go out and support Putin's war if you want your parts to stay attached.

Those civilians in military uniform or those civilians cheering the war on?

Pretty sure the Russians have been wantonly striking civilian targets in Ukraine

When I typed the comment I was thinking about hitting a Kremlin tower or something, but I definitely get your response. I just meant some power play without innocent deaths.

Civilians who Ukraine has warned to stay away

Hopefully they will be careful. A single, well documented attack on civilians would justify a LOT of retaliatory strikes on Ukraine civilians (in Russian eyes).

Taking out the troops/equipment during the parade, without hitting civilians, that would send a message.

They bombed a market in Donetsk last week, but you would never see that on the news.
Civilians are their prime target.
