Starfire’s Deranged Neocon Foreign Policy PodcastSounds like the sort of thing that those splitters in the Judean People's Front would bitch about.
The speed with which several EU national governments called for suspending the Schengen agreement provisions towards Spain & condemned 🇪🇸 govt rather than displayed solidarity w/ another EU member shows that scoring domestic political points remains the priority, even in an emergency like this.

Jorge LiboreiroSpain summons Italy’s ambassador after Italy said it’s considering suspending Schengen with Spain over the migratory crisis in Ceuta. Spain “expects European solidarity and not partisan demagoguery”, says foreign minister.

I thought German was hardYouTube video by liamcarpsyoutube.com'Fuck' is NOT an acronym for "fornication under consent of the king". But 'Laser' IS an acronym for "light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation".
Merriam-Webster‘SOS’ is NOT an acronym for “save our souls.” ‘Golf’ is NOT an acronym for “gentlemen only, ladies forbidden.” ‘Posh’ is NOT an acronym for “port out, starboard home.” ‘News’ is NOT an acronym for “north, east, west, south,’ OR “notable events, weather, sports.”
There's people on this side of the Atlantic who, in this day and age, boast that we brought railroads, electricity, plumbing, schools, universities, and modern medicine to the peoples of Africa. I think this fella would get along with them like a charm.
BladeoftheSunHonestly if China was invading that would great. The best railway in the world, Healthcare is affordable, Housing that gets built, 9 of the 10 best Universities in the world, the fastest advancing country... And so much more. While the West decays under billionaires GREED.
