When people say facts, you attack them by 'hatred for americans comment' the same way the European zionist controlled media always quick to attacking anyone that calls out what Israel does illegally... They are quick to calling them anti-semite.. Well, facts dont lie. The zionist regime anywhere it's installed or its forces are the biggest terrorist empire, dictator(Is even too sweet and nice word to use to define these forces) in which the zionist forces in U.S.A is the leader of the Terrorist empire. This is not hatred but facts on the ground say just that...

You can continue to use the same tactics by the same zionist forces. It won't change this fact on the ground.

The use of Brutality by the Op is also well represented by the CIA forces, same aglozionist forces. It's not news anylonger that they have used all kinds of torture against humanity. What is even worse is they do this with total impunity claiming they are exceptional.. I bet the op also followed this propaganda tactics by the same western brainwash. This kind of list must be from the same western brainwashing media, meawhile it's suicide already in 2018 to the sponsor of such a fakenews about brutal dictators if U.S.A zionist establishment is not on the list..
