Conflict Quote by Ronald Lauder

“As an observer, you can clearly see that Western countries are war-weary and don't want to be pulled into new conflicts. They always proclaim their will to fight for Israel in an emergency. That's good but what if that's not at all true when the time comes?” quote by Ronald Lauder
