More money is spent on weapons of destruction rather than on food to feed the world.
Where earth earthquake should pass, it’s not passing there…. innocent places it is destroying.
My thoughts exactly. Food supplies must be the key to securing our future, good organic food, not weapons, we cannot eat weapons. When did the we stop being caring and God fearing people?
likr the bible say a great farming will hit the land and nation will rise against nation
So many damn poor people in thoses two countries yet, they focus on building weapons rather than feeding their poor and less fortunate.
