@gasperstarina983711 months ago Zelenskky' s speech was the mostthing i ' ve ever seen. Accusing arab nations from whom israel is taking bit by bit(he was praising israel so much not long ago) it was just that situation when i was: " okay now you better shut up" saudis prince was looking shocked what he was hearing in realhas the us supported diplomatic piar yet he is acting like he is the chosen one who doesn' t care about nothing. It was so bad i think usa approved the f16' s just to make it the most importhant theme of the weekend. Anyways i think we can all agree that at this point is clear that usa wants bad war on european soil. Its the only logical conclusion one can make out of it. They are prepared to escalate things until kiev is wiped by an nuclear bomb. ...Expand 2
