When Did the Betrayal Begin?
Oh, you meant the betrayal that culminated with your cult icon BIDEN abandoning the poor turncoats on the runway while at the same time gifting billions of dollars' worth of eq to the Taliban. OF COURSE we betrayed them, just not as bad as they betrayed their own countrymen. Like attracts like, they did it all for the boy nookie and dope and cash JUST LIKE the pedos in our government.

Did Kissinger say it's 'dangerous to be America's enemy' but 'fatal' to be its friend?

Decades-old newspaper articles " including a 1974 piece that Buckley, who died at the age of 82 in 2008, authored " attributed the quote to Kissinger. Kissinger, who died in 2023, never refuted the attribution.
A representative for Kissinger's official website did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Until then, Snopes is withholding a definitive truth rating. ...
