Unfortunately, like all left wingers, he is far better at describing the problems than coming up with solutions. Reminded me of this thread.

This resolution survived Russia’s power of veto. A real setback for them and there ambition to take old of eastern and southern Urkraine.

Anyway, she got a thumbs up from her counterpart in Holland.

Dutch Foreign Minister Timmermans thanked Bishop for her initiative on the resolution, which he said would not have happened without her perseverance, and committed that the two countries would “not rest” until the resolution was achieved.

Israel and the US are some of the few countries actually standing up to the spread of Islam and its backward ideologies

What a one sided fire bearing aging dragon is that one. Something with Australia and duff politicians.
