Press gave Biden far worse coverage for a small number of American soldiers dying while leaving a war than to Trump for a similar number dying while starting a war for no reason. It makes you think!

Anna Paulina Luna: “It is not the intention of the U.S. Government to invade…Targeted strategic military strikes and invasions are two totally different things.”
