    I could've sworn it was the US Pacific fleet and atomic bombs that were decisive in the war against the Japanese. You learn something new every day!

    The younger and new upcoming generation do not believe their propaganda mentira. It's happening worldwide even though the government tries to stop it from becoming a gathering storm.
