The Russian National Guard would like to sing for you — "Last Christmas" (the George Michael song).



Well, that's nice. Can we all get along for Christ's sake?

I especially enjoyed seeing everyone skating without breaking into a massive fight with everyone hitting each other.

Very sweet, but the Zamboni finish could have benefited from a lower shaving/collecting setting.

Ice skating vs. other skating.

It was all a dream!

What, no teens over there?

It's disturbing how much better foreigners speak English.

If WWIII breaks out, it will indeed be the last Christmas. The Doomsday Clock, maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, is set to two minutes to midnight. We've lost a full minute since Schlump was erected in 2016. I pray for his early resignation in 2019 to reduce the risk worldwide catastrophe.

Delightful video. Those evil Russians.

This is not the Red Army that stopped the Nazis at Stalingrad.

Russians see themselves as the true successor to Rome, from Rome over to Constantiniple, and then over to Moscow's Church followed by a dark night through USSR police state. Now Putin runs the only Christian European state left.

That was a lot of fun.

The only part that irked me was the now-obligatory shots of folks in the audience pulling out their cell phones to film what is going on. The apparent implication is that whatever street scene unfolding before our eyes would come across as not worthy of our attention unless the stage-crafted people watching it on the street thought it was worth whipping out their cell phones to record.

One of the worst "Christmas" songs ever. Those Russians truly are evil.

You do understand that if they were in their combat fatigues, armed with AK-74M assault rifles (not the AK-47, which has been supplanted by the AK-74M and, more recently, the AK-15), and ordered to shoot you, they would do it in a heartbeat.

Trumpit,

"The Doomsday Clock, maintained by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, is set to two minutes to midnight. We've lost a full minute since Schlump was erected in 2016."

Very scientific, that measurement. You can bet we are actually 33±1% closer to global thermonuclear war. With ≥95% confidence. They're scientists, after all. They would never dress up a political opinion as a precisely quantifiable scientific judgment. I know because I'm a scientist myself and none of us would ever do that.

Anyway, Merry Christmas. I'm willing to bet it won't be the last. If you really think it will, I am sorry for you, because that's a miserable thing to believe. And while I find your opinions arguable and your manner frequently insulting for no good reason, I don't wish you misery. Both can be true: Trump can be appalling, and it'll all be OK somehow.

I hope North Korea is taking note. Torture by day, sweet songs at night

Love their hats. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves.

To those above with disparaging remarks - Bah Humbug to you.

Just enjoy Christmas.

Love it!

steve uhr: "I hope North Korea is taking note."

Why? Are they in the market for some US uranium or pallets of cash?

Trumpit ayon kay ...

"I know because I'm a scientist myself and none of us would ever do that."

What kind of scientist are you? What qualifies you to opine on the likelihood of doomsday? I'll go along with the atomic scientists who have studied the issues. I'm not very civil when dealing with the deplorables. Christmas is commercialized garbage for the most part.

There’s a finite, nonzero chance we may have noticed that. But thank you for reminding us that anthropogenic global warming is not the first hoax perpetuated by alleged scientists.

Russia will be cool again once Russia is no longer needed for the Hillary-Lost Butt hurt party.

Re-set buttons!
