The Russian army march was meant to showcase the strength and power of the Russian military and to demonstrate their support for President Putin.
The Russian army has a long tradition of performing military parades and marches in front of political leaders, particularly during important events and national holidays. However, it is not a regular occurrence.
Yes, the march was highly symbolic and had political significance. It served as a display of Russia's strong military capabilities and sent a message to the world that Russia would not be intimidated by other world powers.
George Bush did not seem to show any specific reaction to the Russian army march. He maintained a neutral expression and continued with the proceedings of the event.
There were some controversies surrounding the march, particularly regarding the timing and location of the event. Some critics saw it as a blatant display of military power and a way for Putin to assert dominance over Bush. Others argued that it was a normal military parade and should not be seen as a political statement.
