While Kegstand and Rumps murders in the Caribbean are utterly abhorrent let’s not forget the hellfire missiles dropped on non combatants at weddings in Afghanistan, and worse, on the subsequent funerals of the victims of the blatant murders at the weddings. This was Obama; peace prize recipient 🤮

Trump has literally given a deadline to a plan which never even existed. He just read of it in the press, leaked by Russians, and just said:
“Ukrainians have to accept it.”
The level of this incompetence or malice or both is just remarkable.
