@achtungcircus

You are destroying the civilized west by murdering and killing innocent kids and women whatever their races. Let's see who is full of shit when you will soon become mercenary to Chinese to kill your own fellow citizens, you stupid.

Cool video, thanks for posting.

@79bbm Way to misinterpret and deflect. I mean you are full of bullshit. You probably have brown eyes because you are full of shit to the hairline.

You speak of MSM and likely rely on Alex Jones to provide what you like to call balance. If you are so full of ignorance and self-awareness and computer skills NOT to know the truth I am surprised you are allowed out without a keeper.

Or are you allowed out? The most surprising places have web access. Use it wisely, Nimrod.

@achtungcircus

I totally agree. All the things from the MSM about our heroic troops (especially the commanders) and the videos like this are bullshit and it's a shame to the civilized world. :)

@79bbm Bullshit.

That is all.
