39. That suggests a global war against Americans.

Thu May 22, 2025, 02:14 PM

May 2025

What if thousands of people around the world take it on themselves to start killing random Americans because of Trump's murderous behavior?

We are so quick to blame Israel when our own country's behavior is so much worse. His many people did the U.S. murder and torture since 2001 alone?

Understanding why someone takes a particular course of action is very different than condoning it. Very different. TheRickles May 2025 #49
