17 different bs reasons, some circular. As 🌮 🍊 says the war is almost over (cause gas prices are filling his diapers), he must be held accountable, or we will never know why soldiers, civilians, little girls and teachers at school died; why AI apparently failed so spectacularly; why we are moving on to Cuba; why the doomsday fleet was moved to the ME. IMHO.
