These Israleis seem to think that they can kill anyone anywhere and stuff the consequences.
I'm not an anti semite or anything but the repurcussions could be severe and wide spread (around the world), as this isn't the first time that they have done this.
That's not a fake southern accent Kamala Harris has. She wants to sound black.
Kamala Harris is indian.
That Marine deserted chasing a girl in St Petersburg got drunk beat up his girlfriend punched the Russian cop arrested pal the other one he brought in prescription marijuana or whatever nice deal bringing home I hope you come pick me up if I ever get in trouble
No President Biden My my friend it's not over we're f*** here in the US I live like s*** on a measly social security and I'm a veteran
The Russians got the best deal they got a hit man that was in prison in the German prison and what else did they get like always what weapons dealer the last time wow
What do we learn from this my fellow Americans don't go to other countries to commit criminal offenses have respect for other countries when you're visiting don't bring in drugs like in the US don't try to pull fast ones over there that's what you can learn from all this
SKAMALA…I MEAN…..CHAMILION….KAMALA. WHO CARES????; She cant RUN THIS COUNTRY!!! NOT EVEN WITH HELP. SHE IS NOT!!! QUALIFIED.
Why is ABC trying to convince people that Kamala Harris isn't Indian as has been widely reported? There's something very cynical about it and black people need to realize they are being played for fools
why are we trading killers for journalist
what an ignorant thumbnail nothing could be futrther from the truth everyone was expecting it!
Do these released prisoners receive any compensation
‼️HELP BANGLADESHI PEOPLE ‼️
We don’t want this President
Please help us
We need help from all of you
You all might haven’t seen how they brutally killed our brothers and sisters
Today one of the guys skull was divided into two parts
We could see his brain coming out
Let alone all these days
Today this president killed about 3000 people
You all are unaware of many things
We don’t want this president
President should protect their people and this women is killing us
Help us please
We don’t want to be killed anymore
