You have to understand that they do not and will not ever play ‘fair’. They will distort reality in whatever way suits them. Their side are martyrs and anyone else killed by their thugs is just collateral.

1.5 TRILLION. That's the military budget they want for 2027.
We already spend more than the next 20 countries put together.
