Jimmy Carter was a real hard ass compared to this guy.
By "ask" he means under penalty of being thrown out the window of a tall building.
NICE!!!!!
I said from the beginning the oil refineries were Russias soft underbelly that would cripple them.
OK all you Russian Bots who are attacking Marcus. Better get your money out of your Russian bank and buy some candles cause it is getting worse for you by the day.
I got an idea, Sergei. Why don’t you guys try Capitalism?
Blow up a few gas stations. That’ll get them to walk.
