- Eupraxias 4y agoIs it really possible for anyone to doubt that it is anything but this?
- anonporridge 4y agoSure. Lots of people will refuse to even entertain the thought, because if true, it means that we're already at war and our people are being killed, and most western people are too mentally weak to take on the burden of accepting that bitter reality.
