Thanks to today's political leaders in the West our Children will be conscripted into WWIII, all so the Oligarchs can rule in Hell.

in a speech to the Italian Chamber of Deputies on 3 JAN 1925, 101 years ago today, Benito Mussolini announced he was taking dictatorial powers. it seems somehow fitting that Herr Trump would announce the seizure of a nearby country today.
