Maybe we put weapons on Mexico from China and Russia to learn about senseless wars.
Thank you for giving an interview to a moran. Bring him back again so we can enjoy the graves extending even more in Ukraine while he is safe at home in the U.S.
You wanted to do the interview because you want to say Putin is a liar. A dictator. And gone crazy. You deserve the shit. Ukraine is not corrupt, right? They speak gospel.
This is your man, Australia. He is worth a try .
You mean elites will lose money on the remote control in their palms of their hands to adjust the sun, the wind, the rain, the moon, the stars, the whole weather. They have the remote control and not the universe
Is this what it is?
Garbage
You still got your Al Gore mask on from a century ago
young people can't afford to buy homes, and babies and young kids need early learning/schools in proximity to stable longterm housing.

Garbage. None of you are Trump. You all work for your masters. You will get rotten eggs thrown at you. None of you are worth going to jail for. Lightweights.
The guest is a coward. Sending other people to die. There is no way Russia is going to be defeated. That is the reality.
Australia is a dog to America. The United Stares created the threat, then got the other two drag into something they were not to be involved in the first place. Fear. China China China. Russia. Russia. Russia Nearly a thousand military bases all over the world and surrounding countries America does not have control over. Australia, you did not build air defence before. Now you build them now against hypersonic missiles. Do you like fetching the stick back & forth from a command from your master.
Stage my rear end.
The 5 eyes nations have no problem surrounding Russia or China. Why the concern?
There is no one else. The most popular ones are dead or are thrown in jail? Garbage. I hope both of you playing stupid are proud of yourself. We are here because people like being mouthpiece of real evil. Like Putin is evil, and we are so good like America and N.A.T.O.
You mean what the Western countries have been doing for decades to the people of Africa stealing and leaving their garbage at the same time.
