Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) “The most terrible disaster that one group of human beings can inflict on another is war.

Since our species became literate a mere 5,000 years ago, written history has mostly been the history of wars. Thousands who knew...
