@FrenchResponse The U.S., drifting toward dictatorship under the current regime, is in absolutely no position to claim that other countries have “opted out of civilization.”
@SueReynold72971@JamieBonkiewicz Not true.
If such a request had been made or confirmed by the family or funeral organizers, reputable outlets would very likely report it — as they have done with other public figures (e.g., former presidents) speaking at high-profile funerals.
