“Biden is recklessly provoking Putin” should be the headline.

So-I guess the question is: were you asking questions when Trump sent $250 million? Same corrupt government-Trump was pretty friendly with them - but he is friendly with corrupt politicians.

American funny money.

American foreign policy is just as much of a reason that America is swirling the toilet bowl.

Putin almost looked sorry for Biden. LOL
