yeah, having naval manouvers in order to further coordination for focus on search and rescue operations and the prevention of pollution are REALLY serious problems.

at least the obmanation is not the only liar in politics. just the first one we have had that absolutely CANNOT be truthful about anything.

I read some students who knew him in school and they remembered that he didn’t like it when anyone knew what was going on in his mind. That you never knew really what he was thinking.” THAT IS TELLING

Look, another walking and talking contradiction: “...include 30 Russian and Iranian ships, as well as helicopters .... the prevention of pollution.”
