    I'm sorry for the execution of the lineup. It's the Northern Irish Republican Army, and it's going to the United States to buy missiles. The posture is very large, but the foothold is small. In the end, the ending of the old and young tough guys shooting each other is really catchy. Talking about world peace in such a big circle is not enough. It's really boring.
