And this aging serial killer of Europe admitted "the enemy's counter-attacks...."

This is something the serial killer of the Middle East -- Benjamin Netanyahu -- won't admit or (misspeak for now): "Iranian, Palestinian, or Lebanese counter-attacks...."

Vladimir Putin, the decrepit Son of Sam of Europe, and Dummkopf Trumpf's KGB handler.

And so Putin will continue the war in Ukraine because he really doesn't know what else to do.

Here's what you do, Donald. You swallow your sick pride and make a deal with Iran to stop the war you started. Then you engage a full-throated support of Ukraine to stop the war Putin started.

You want that Nobel? If you weren't such a sick f--- you'd follow my advice.
