There are 8.29 billion people in the world

And yet primarily 3 men; Vladimir Putin, Donald Trump, and Benjamin Netanyahu are destroying the word order and putting all of at such great risk.

It still amazes me that the Russian, American, and Israeli public are putting up with these evil, narcissistic pieces of shit and that apparently no one can stop them.

The US is a democracy, our leaders represent We The People.
US Supreme Court gave Trump total immunity for all time.

We are all to blame.
Just like in Israel.
