Because they're using our own tactics against us. What could we do - call them murderous thugs? Demand reparations? Complain to the UN?

Or massively retaliate. Yeah, I think we'd massively retaliate, out of all proportion to what happened to us.

But remember when he went to Flint during the campaign at that church ? He never talked about how upset he was with their situation he just talked about Hillary and the preacher stopped him.


Also when 14,000 Syrians were gassed I think in 2013 he remained silent. All he did was harass Obama to not go into Syria. He wasn't "affected" by that?

Oh and i can't forget the children in Sandy Hook elementary school. All these rethugs so "outraged" at the Syrian attack. But the rethugs claim the murder of those babies and teachers gunned down in their school was a political ploy and fake so Obama can change the gun laws.

about us to bomb us back into the stone age. The Republicans are the only ones that care, so perhaps they will help?

Think about that for a minute. We've pissed off enough people since Trump came about that I think if that the worst were to happen to us, the rest of the world would just let us stir in our own juices.
