What do the people of Twain say? That do they want to do collectively? To believe China won't do what it already said it would could be deadly. Twain belongs to those that built it " The people of Twain" .... - Thankyou...
My concern is the the people of Iran and their ability to be free from the oppressive rule that is placed on them. I want to see an end to the IRGC and all of their funding. I don't know why we are even making deal with terrorists.... - Rdc66...
