The good German people will have to fight on their own streets to get their country back.....
Yes she has, but I don’t see that the people of Germany put up any fuss when she was hauling refugees into her country. They were just as blind then as when Hitler took over.....and just as then it’s now too late.
For years Syria was a major player in the UN Human Rights council. The same Syria that consistently scores in the top 5, rivaling N Korea in Amnesty Int’l sh!t list of the worst human rights violators. The UN’s Secretariat Bldg is 525 ft tall. Who knew bullsh!t could pile so high?
Pulling out of UNESCO, the Human Rights Council and the International Criminal Court.
