Someone was trying to make the philosopher's stone

[stuartjones]

i was hoping it was some ancient magic alien illuminati stuff

[chipapao]

what is also not known was that America was also forced to remove it's missiles from Turkey

[kujiro_x]

Are we just always gonna ignore that the US put missiles in Turkey before the Russians did in Cuba?

[marquswilliams]

It's definitely something they're not telling us about that symbol. I feel like that symbol was manifesting some type of spiritual power

[anubhavshukla]

Imagine some college guy made this symbol for fun in the middle of ongoing war situation 😅

[janandrewdonato]

Reminds me of Full Metal Alchemist? lol

*Infamous Image*
Well they never taught us that in history class

That Was after the Americans But their Nukes In Turkey Aimed at the USSR

[smallhabibidecisions]

That was a response to U.S moving its nuclear warheads to Turkey...

[stevenweii]

the air defense missile presenting in this video is not even Soviet SA-2, they didn't deploy one like that, it looks more like from USA.

Well. I guess hell is just a place people believe they’re safe from

Star of David is the star of Rephaim... It was a false god...a fallen angel

The "jewish" state today are not the true Israel they are imposters and will be destroyed one day...When Yashuah will return and gather His people from among the nations and retake Jeruselem.

Star of David. WW3. What a coincidence!

[cubano]

It's better to everyone treate Cuba with respect as a friend and not try to impose rules as colony or slave because as enemy is not a good idea. No matter how big or small is your adversary you must give respect to deserve respect.

I thought it was a demon circle or something

[Strobeez]

Every time I think of US-Cuban war I think of metal gear solid. Learnt so much through those games, even though they're largely fiction

Images captured in the future. “Aliens made it”

[ephraim.is.fruitful]

[vlork]
