So very “Christian” to bomb another country on Christmas Day. This is the same guy who has practically begged for the Nobel Peace Prize.

If you're alone this Christmas, a reminder that 988 Crisis hotline is always available. I say this because I live in a +55 & this morning, my neighbor walked out into the parking lot & shot himself. A good man, Vietnam vet. with health/drink/drug issues.
Please seek help.
