Woke liberals like the UN making such statements only increases the chances that the nazis will bomb civilian infrastructure.

It's almost like the world doesn't understand they're dealing with mentally ill extremists. If we treated white christian nazis the way we treat brown muslim peasants, Trump would have been vaporized in a drone strike at some wedding long ago, probably authorized by some neoliberal corporate whore like Obama...

Nice statement!

Now persecute the USA and Israel for their war crimes and prove the worlds the UN isn't just the mouthpiece of the imperial core.
