In Hitler's last will and testament, dictating hours before he committed suicide, 80 years ago in April 1945, he insisted that no one had wanted war in 1939. It had been forced on him by 'international Jewry and its helpers.'
Trump has fully turned on Zelenskyy: "He's always looking to purchase missiles. Listen, when you start a war, you gotta know you can win a war. You don't start a war against somebody that's 20 times your size and then hope that people give you some missiles."

I've never seen this before. An ad in The Liberator (May 14, 1831) for Peirce's Free Grocery Store, offering "𝘎𝘳𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘍𝘳𝘦𝘦 𝘓𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘳" for "those who give a preference to goods of this description." Everything is sourced from producers who don't enslave their workers.

No matter how you feel after a match. And I'm sure emotions are high post Interpro
You can't do this.
I'd be shocked if Mack and or Connacht will be getting a fine or slap in the wrist of some sort for this
