An injury against Europe is an injury to the world, but a thousand of lives lost in Africa and Arab countries is nothing but a party to the West. Now, we know where we belong and judgement awaits you'll. if all violence situation were handled this way before I don't think any nation would love to rise against another. I'm happy that God is exposing you the west and US for the destruction you have and are causing Africa yearly.

hypocrisy at the highest level. when America and its allies attack Africans and those in the middle east, you say politics has no okay in football. Israel is still participating in the world football. Americans are still participating including England after you killed Sadam and Gadaffi with only your illusions and propaganda that they had weapons of destruction. Well now you have met your size. As it is you are on your fourth round of sanctions and the bombs are still raining in Ukraine with the KGB man not going into reverse gear or even applying breaks. I don't support war but it is the hypocrisy am raising here.
