🇷🇺 Russia, Moscow Victory Day – 80 Years On

May 9, 2025 | INTEL Roundtable

Judge Napolitano • Ray McGovern • Larry Johnson

Ray McGovern returned to Moscow for the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, speaking at the “Knowledge First” educational marathon. He reflected on the deep emotional resonance of this day for the Russian people, closing his address with a poem by Nekrasov — met with a standing ovation.

A quiet thanks was offered to Oliver Stone for helping make Ray’s presence in the official box possible.

Parade Symbolism
President Putin presided over a massive military display in Red Square, attended by over two dozen world leaders, including China’s Xi Jinping — a clear statement of Russia’s enduring alliances.

Panel Reflections
Larry Johnson: The parade is strategic messaging — showcasing resilience and military capability.

Judge Napolitano: Asked the cost of ongoing wars: “What’s the price tag of futility?”

Ray McGovern: Urged moral action — even civil disobedience — to block the transport of bombs harming Palestinians.

Global Conflict Updates
Yemen
500 U.S. airstrikes since March 15 — at a cost of $1 billion.

Houthis have downed five U.S. drones in a sharp escalation.

Iran
Iran could cripple Israel militarily but chooses restraint — Col. Macgregor calls this “strategic patience.”

Germany / Poland
Germany considers sending Taurus missiles to Ukraine.

Russia warns of escalation.

The U.S. pipeline through Poland in 2021 is recalled as provocative — fortunate it didn’t lead to more.
