  1. Stay away from the world and save your kids from transgender operations and hormone blockers. No medieval backwardness more than the West.

  2. I guess you’re not smart enough to begin with to figure out that trying to make them a Democracy YOUR WAY wouldn’t work.The whole NATO and the whole of the United Nations all couldnt see and know that?? My expectations drop drastically.. When you address them you sound like you put all your eggs in one basket? Yous r responsible because you’re all in charge. We should think twice about giving you that responsibility again..
