Look at the keyword abuse that’s already happening here ... this thread has been up for all of 20 minutes
This nonsense occurs on every Ukraine-Russia thread (along with lots of petty personal insults) - you can see on your computers exactly who’s doing it, since you control the site
Yet, you do nothing about it ...
And the abusers SEE that you do nothing, so it only encourages them more
And you wonder why donations are dropping
I think Trump was right in trying to get them to pay their share.
...may the Robinsons are ignoring it because they are growing weary of hourly ukraine propaganda threads which are pushed onto their America First, pro-constitution forum at their expense.
...just a thought
I think the issue is open and notorious trolls like you and marcusmaximus.
Yes - we're supposed to take our neocon cod liver oil medicine and like it. And pay big bucks for it - according to some foreigner from the land of Justine Turdeau.

"The Paveway IV will enable Ukraine to strike back" at Russian forces and target high-value assets such as command centers and Moscow's air defenses,
Good way to get Kiev rubbed out...
Who the hell do you think you are. You are an arrogant little bastige. How insulting. Do you own this place?
If donations are dropping, it is because you Joe Biden/Trudeau supporting globalist clowns have taken over the place and driven people off with your America ruining Ukraine crap.
