the average american mind is so infected with military propaganda that they’ll straight up tell the victims of their army to consider that some of their soldiers might be poor…like what??? 😭

The depraved scum who comprise the genocidal Zionist Western media and political class deserve everything bad that can and hopefully will happen to them.
