Duke Beaufort Date: 6/23/2025 5:15:00 AM Anaya, you're absolutely right. Dropping bombs on people is just the beginning, not the end. Not very smart for the long term. George Orwell would be so proud of his predictions. Smiles!!

David Kavanagh Date: 6/18/2025 3:05:00 PM Very nicely done Anaya, for such terrible weapons, they certainly make a mind blowing spectacle, The propaganda is even more powerful on all sides, cheers David Login to Reply I Am Anaya Date: 6/18/2025 4:03:00 PM I tried to relate just that David, but unfortunately no propaganda! All are facts, Trump did say those things I quoted, now I don't know if we'd be in this mess if it were anyone else as leader, as allies to Israel, well you know the rest of the story. Mushroom is nature and make great shapes. Thanks for the kind review. Cheers!
