But have they considered the fact that Russia bad and history began the instant Putler invaded Ukraine and that I am extremely intelligent because I trust corporate news sources which lied about Iraq’s WMDs without any consequences?

Lied about Iraqi WMDs, lied about Nayirah al-Ṣabaḥ, lied about every fucking conflict we've been in since WWII ended...

Um excuse me sweatie I digest corporate news critically which is why I agree entirely with the billionaires who rule our society despite the fact that I am not a billionaire and never will be.

Yes, the following line is 'to hell with Spain' I believe, it was used as a cassus belli to start the Spanish-American war in which y'all took over Puerto Rico, Guam, the Philippines and practically took over Cuba, although Cuba was technically made independent.
