What America should do is mind its own business. Stay within its own Continent and renounce all alliances…….

Most of us don't believe in a pope. He is just Bob Prevost from Chicago. This carries no more weight than anyone else.
As an American, I’m very jealous/ sad I can’t be a part of this new European project
"But you still gonna protect us, right?"
EUROPEAN LITTLE SISSIES
Renzi, per una volta all estero ci pensano forte grazie a Giorgia Meloni, e tu ti metti a renderla piccola a tutto il mondo. Cominciamo a pensare all bene comune invece di politizzare.
Europe will never succeed while UK is there😂
I think Ms. Meloni in regards to European Policies is doing Great!😎
you guys Europeans may not like it but the fact is Mr. Trump is the best president the US ever had! meanwhile Macron, Keir Starmer, … are the … 😜😜 and the saddest part is you guys all know it but can't do nothing to change it, lol!
The pope is nothing but a fraud who leads a fake religion full of pedophiles.
Meloni has been a much better leader than I feared she would be. She seems to mostly operate on common sense.
😂😂😂
This guy is delusional!

Lol, this Pope jumping on the TDS band-waggon. Cheap shot Bob from Chicago, but what more can you expect from another free loading simp Lib Dem 😂.
