dgmchugh Grifters will grift

dgmchugh The us government found a new way to spend money on war. When will the average American realize it isn’t about democracy but the $ made with missiles.

dgmchugh It is a proxy war with Russia that doesn't end well for citizens.

dgmchugh 😄

dgmchugh At the cost of what? America's economy? America's strength? The American people?

dgmchugh Except in our own country

dgmchugh Says one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

dgmchugh Stop! Damn enough is enough! Let them help themselves. Help our veterans here!

dgmchugh The people ACTUALLY trying to protect freedom don’t have Nazi battalions fighting for them. Not a cent more in foreign aid , to any fucken country.

dgmchugh Exactly. We help Ukraineso so we don't fight wars in Europe. We also help Ukraine so we don't fight wars in the United States.

dgmchugh

dgmchugh That’s great, just take what you get and make sure it goes to helping your people, not lining the pockets of corrupt officials and keep books while doing it.

We need immediate action All the Islamic regime embassies should be closed in all countries.If other countries continue their silence this terrorist regime will execute and murder more innocent Iranian people.Put an end to this cruelty. MahsaAmini IranRevolution MohsenShekari

Helping Ukraine is helping yourself. Anyone who thinks the russian genocidal attacks do not affect them, is living a fantasy. Food shortages, environmental damage, inflation all made worse by russia, not to mention local security.

The IR regime executed MohsenShekari and now wants to execute AliMoazami who is Iranian protester. There are danger of execution for many of protesters. UN weimers CNN EU_Commission Europarl_EN MahsaAmini

3 Iranian rappers, ToomajSalehi, SamanYasin, and BehradAliKonari are in danger of execution by the Islamic Republic regime. They're among dozens of others who want freedom for Iran, and IR is trying to murder them. Be their voice. LittleSimz joycrookes ScHoolboyQ

Cokehead Zelesnky is King Gimme Gimme.

Time to stop begging for money and start writing conscripts of peace treaties and constitutions for moving forward. Ukraine will have to develop constitutional law that will address the issue of conflict outside of UN influence, that has been needed to be addressed for decades.

Donor but not creditor countries
