We have satellites and I'm pretty sure their checking out Russia all the time.

We can spend money on this shit but people in this country are living on the street with no food!

The crap we've pulled in South
America and what we did to Vietnam, does not give me a proud to be American feeling.

Will we ever learn? No!
