They're both, just, puppets.
Anyone else notice Victoria Nuland is not in DC? Wish I had won the lottery, I’d have enough FU money to keep track of these villains (I don’t play though)
Slow Xoe love globohomo and detests any head of state who stands in its way.
They are indeed. Very few people would have locked down or taken a vax under Obama Biden. The gop are puppy also.. and the covid tyranny we accepted was more dangerous to us than the continuous string of cia coups.
