France had a huge parade today to celebrate Bastille Day. [View all]

500 military personnel from 35 countries, including a large contingent from Ukraine, but mostly NATO countries, plus aircraft from Germany, the UK, Poland, Denmark, Greece, Sweden, Norway, Spain and Italy, took part. https://apnews.com/article/france-bastille-day-ukraine-troops-parade-d78621ef18de51b16c8ab99e2bf43f4b

Guess which NATO member wasn't represented.
