North Korea and Iraq

samedi 3 février 2018 à 01:00

The bully is repeating, in regard to North Korea, the position that Dubya took before he launched the war with Iraq.

But that is no reason for launching a war which, in this case, could easily escalate to nuclear weapons.

Palestinians and Palestine are not threatening the human rights of Americans. Israel and its agents are an immediate threat.
