Putin invasion coming in 3..2..

People? Can you be more specific? What 'people'?

White dictator

SO VERY SAD INDEED!!!!

Look to who is funding this coup, normally the UN.. Communism is the globalist chosen political ideology for now. The US helped overthrow the Ukraine implanting neo-nazis during the Obama administration. Egypt had an Arab spring again by Obama admin. This was all UN sanctioned.

What, someone standing up to Putin for interference? That’s more than Trump has ever done....

Black people matter
