Awhhh to bad. The Moskali’s feelings are hurt.
What purpose does mafia land serve anyway in this club?
After their crimes in Georgia 2008 and Ukraine 2014 who knows? Even if you forgive them for 2008 there is no forgiveness after 2014. And now, 2022?! The Moskali have proven themselves to be filthy lying animals so for them to be part of an international organization is foolish because they are not there for the interest of anything except ruzzki mir. Period.
If their presence in such an organization is foolish, which it is, then those allowing them to be a member are fools. This includes us. It’s that simple.
