Clinton Rejects Russia’s Call for New Europe Security Treaties:Typical propagand

29-01-2010 17:07

Neither Cliton or the current author bother to recall for us that it was Russia that was the victum of a surprise attack from Georgia, a US "partner." I wonder why?

Fascist pub Gloucester Arms Camden - any news? Is nazi John Coyne still there?

28-01-2010 18:47
