"Tanks, but no tanks" DC Officials Pan Trump's Proposed Military Parade, Propose Peace March

Council member David Grosso (I-At Large) said that if Trump holds a military parade, he would organize “an equally large parade and march for peace and for nonviolence” to take place simultaneously.

“Maybe this can be a rallying cry for people to come to the nation’s capital and have a demonstration for peace,” he said."

My understanding the Kremlin parade grounds were specially constructed to minimize damage. Maybe Trump could get some assistance from his bud Putin.
