Iran, North Korea, Cuba, and Venezuela are on my list of "Can't Wait To Crumble." The world will be a better place. No more radical/leftist assholes to worry about.
If North Korea crumbles, it will affect South Korea in a very negative way, and what has Cuba doen to make the world such a bad place? Think before posting next time.
I want Cuban cigars and only a Castro/communist free Cuba will reverse US embargo.
And NK collapsing is only a matter of time. The world will have to share the brunt with South Korea.
I wonder, in the Iranian state version of CoD, does a 7 killstreak get the player a photoshopped missile?
Don't for get EU forces.
Who will be the cab drivers?
Pakistanis.
Ha well sucks to be you, I dont have to walk very far to go to a Cigar bar here and get me some Juan LopezI want Cuban cigars and only a Castro/communist free Cuba will reverse US embargo.
And NK collapsing is only a matter of time. The world will have to share the brunt with South Korea.
