When Will The Adults Take Control Over American Foreign Policy
It is time for the adults to take over America’s Foreign Policy. Now, this will be a bit difficult since the majority of you are removing Russian Vodka from your shelves, putting up Euro Maiden Flags on your internet profiles, and pushing for more sanctions that will actually harm you more than it will the Russian Federation.

We have pushed nothing but pure insanity against the Ukrainian and Russian…
