Either you or you will continue fighting but your relatives your friends and other people are risking with their lifes. I there you were agree on compromise and you give it away and perhaps she decided to give it away and k. G. B. I think rebellious k. G. B.

She used to be the symbol of this resistance and. She was weighted at the streets yesterday today and tomorrow and now when she flat out people lost their simple brothers became totally leaderless which creates the characters and not many people will understand to hummels and those people who wear are gifted with guns yesterday they definitely will criticize her and that that is the main goal of the situation the main goal of k.

Thermally is foreign minister has told the us to mind its own business over a pipeline for russian gas its our decision said high co masters us secretary of state mike pompei again here a pm tour in which the pipeline is likely to be a cause of some friction theres already one pipeline running under the baltic sea now a 2nd one north korean 2 is nearing completion the u. S. Believes the new pipeline will make germany too dependent on russian gas the project has been a major bone of contention between berlin and washington for a while just last week u. S.

Neighboring poland also wants to hinder north stream to get runs its own l n g terminal on its baltic coast and plans to receive liquefied natural gas from qatar or norway warsaw fears that russia will further expand its power with north stream to and ultimately use it as a political weapon and economic leverage against the e.
