Join what for christs sake ?
There’s several billion people on the planet. Name 3 you’d like to see give a motivational speech to the Ugandan ice hockey team before the next winter olympics.
Yes, that’s the correct answer, who gives a fuck who shows up if the result is already known.

It’s been 40 years. The US and other Arab states aren’t the RSVPs that are the problem.

Read the comment that I was replying to and you’ll better understand the structure of my sentence.

If you’ll pardon me for saying so, it’s kinda funny that we are having this chat, given that we’re both hoping for peace.
