Yes, and just think what the rest of the $billions could have done for citizens. Never piddle around in a foreign war when the other side is fighting for its survival (in its view).

Yep, neither the Newsmax article nor the thread, nor I mention Russia, ONLY YOU.

Canuck Conservative has everything to do with Nazi Canuckistan.

Complain to your TrudeauNazi that Russia is mean to you.

why?

And why are Canadians still giving him a full pension?

And you're worried about Russia?

Why not fix tour own problems instead of preaching to Americans.
