so we have been paying our enemies to defeat us all these years?
Yup...western civilization has been paying for their own downfall.
If you look at moamarr ghadaffi for an example. when he moves, all of Africa moves with his vote. That is 83 or thereabouts “nations”, just two years ago they voted him “king of kings”. Momarr votes and is aligned with the Arab league and the rest of the moslems....and we can keep on going....
