Don't forget that the USA 'came to the rescue' of EUROPE twice in the 20th century at GREAT cost in blood AND $$; I hope Trump makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR that Ukraine is Europe's "baby" and America is NOT looking to spend any more 💰💰 and certainly NOT BLOOD. The EU, and UK need to SIGNIFICANTLY ramp up their defense spending and quit being 'greenies' (climate change) and WEF advocates.

What does Biden call "help"? More LGBTQ++ Agents; more female (non male, or non penis owning) Agents so we can have a more 'diverse' SS; skin color quotas? I'm so confused; I think I'll apply, but demand that I 'work from home'.💀😵‍💫

The oral contraceptive was/is a two edged sword. It created 'sexual liberation' but the unintended consequence of declining birth rates. Add that to the rise of the welfare state and you have fewer tax payers, but more tax money consumers. Will not end well.
