I cannot fathom doing that to another human being let alone teenagers. Not really asking for a how to guide but more like do people like that have a disease or something?

The truth is the billionaires want nothing more than something they can’t buy. Someone will always be there to provide it for them as long as money is more important than people.

~~These two just happened to be funded by the terrorist state of Israel, which allowed them to expand and fester longer than anyone else in history~~ Proof of this won’t come out for another 20-50 years, so just take my word for it I guess.

Invading a neighboring country, while evil, doesn’t make you a terrorist state. Making terrorism of the indigenous people of the land you live on mandatory does
