The head of Russia's Orthodox Church called on people on Sunday to rally around the authorities as Moscow pursues its military intervention in Ukraine.
Patriarch Kirill has previously made statements defending Moscow's actions in Ukraine and views the war as a bulwark against a Western liberal culture that he considers decadent.
"Let the Lord help us unite during this difficult time for our Fatherland, including around the authorities," the Interfax news agency quoted Kirill, 75, as saying at a sermon in Moscow.
"May the authorities to be filled with responsibility for their people, humility and the readiness to serve them even if it costs them their life," added the patriarch, a close ally of President Vladimir Putin.
On Sunday, he said that once the population unites around the authorities, "there will be genuine solidarity and the ability to repel enemies both external and internal..."

In contrast to Patriarch Kirill telling Russians to die for Russia:
During his Palm Sunday homily, Pope Francis denounced "the folly of war" that leads people to commit "senseless acts of cruelty."
"When we resort to violence ... we lose sight of why we are in the world and even end up committing senseless acts of cruelty. We see this in the folly of war, where Christ is crucified yet another time," he said.
Francis lamented "the unjust death of husbands and sons" ... "refugees fleeing bombs" ... "young people deprived of a future" ... and "soldiers sent to kill their brothers and sisters."

This is as far as I get into your posts b4 I find a critical mental flaw (on your part).
Why should we care about someone being killed an hour ago?
Because the killer is probably STILL alive.
Dood, REALLY, get a grip! Your brains are dripping out of your ears.

1) Russia has the 2nd largest military in the world. And Putin has threatened, recently and several times, to nuke any nation interfering. That does not signify peace.
2) The Russia Orthodox Church Patriarch (and close personal Putin friend) asks Russians to die for Russia, specifically fighting in Ukraine. Does that sound warlike? In contrast, the Pope calls for peace, which actually does sound like what religious leaders would be preaching.
3) The Russian Army crossed over a border to start a fight. It isn't Ukraine's Army marching toward Moscow.
4) Russia passed a new law forbidding using the word war. Go to jail for 15 years before you have a trial. Your time in jail before your trial starts will count toward serving your sentence, which makes this new law very civilized.
5) In the last 100 years about 100 million people have been killed by Russia, mostly people who know Russian either as their first, second, or third language.
6) When Russia has a political problem with somebody, they end up killed. There is a wiki article about those political assassination: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Soviet_and_Russian_assassination

Signym, that's 6 reasons why Russia is actually killing Ukrainians and stealing their land. Russia is NOT actually overthrowing a Nazi government oppressing Ukrainians. That is a cover story for Russia's real purpose.
Russia, a society which has wallowed in evil but is unwilling to face the truth about its own past, let alone confess and repent it, is condemned to offend again.

SECOND: Consider a few things about Russia:
1) Russia has the 2nd largest military in the world. That does not signify peace. And Putin has threatened, recently and several times, to nuke anybody who interferes with him.
WHO has the LARGEST military in the world??? Larger than the next ten nations combined?
Don't be shy! Say it loud and proud now!
And WHO not only "threatened" nuclear warfare but actually USED nuclear weapons on a civilian population??
Yep, say THAT loud and proud, too!
Sheesh, SECOND. Don't you wonder why you have to keep shifting your arguments?
Is it because they keep failing right out of the gate?
You're a great example to your "friends" on this board how fundamentally fucked-up your brain is, and - by extension- how fucked-up they are. I know this because I don't see any of them bailing you out of your own morass.

Quote:You are right. Trump did make the same threat: “North Korea best not make any more threats to the United States,” Trump said during a meeting on opioids from his golf club in New Jersey. “They will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen … he has been very threatening beyond a normal state. They will be met with fire, fury and frankly power the likes of which this world has never seen before.”

Yanno, maybe there is something fundamentally fucked-up with your brain.
Might want to consider that.

Fortunately, Trump is not President. It would be best to NOT have Harry Truman (infamous for nuking Japan and the Korean War) or Donald Trump as future Presidents. Both showed they are not trustworthy with life and death decisions. Truman was an accident, only getting to be President because FDR needed a different V.P. to win a fourth term. FDR should have considered that Truman was not a very stable genius. Neither is Trump.
The Pentagon would not launch nukes when Nixon was mentally deranged by Watergate. Same when Trump was deranged. So there are a few unwritten safety features in the USA to stop a President who is not a very stable genius. Two days after the January 6 attack on the US Capitol, President Donald Trump’s top military adviser, Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Mark Milley, single-handedly took secret action to limit Trump from potentially ordering a dangerous military strike or launching nuclear weapons.

No reason to think Putin is limited by unwritten safety features like USA Presidents are limited.

Several European leaders have made efforts to show solidarity with battle-scarred Ukraine.
Zelenskyy argued that Russia’s aggression “was not intended to be limited to Ukraine alone.” The “entire European project is a target,” he said. “That is why it is not just the moral duty of all democracies, all the forces of Europe, to support Ukraine’s desire for peace,” Zelenskyy said. “This is, in fact, a strategy of defense for every civilized state.”

I'm much more concerned about what our own Diversity Hire Border Czar is doing.
More specifically, I'm worried about what she isn't doing.

Ukraine’s survival requires the sustained support of its most important ally, the United States. Time will not be on Ukraine’s side. If the war drags on for months, it will grow murkier to Americans watching at a distance; its moral clarity will start to blur. Ukrainians’ justifiable rage at all things Russian will produce images that foreigners will find less easy to love than the picture of a string quintet performing in the ruins of a Kharkiv metro station.
The fate of Ukrainian democracy depends in part on American staying power. And in turn, the health of American democracy depends in part on Ukraine. If Vladimir Putin succeeds in demolishing Ukraine, converting its fragments into the vassal states of a new Russian empire, then Putin will have won his bet that what matters in global affairs is raw power, that oil and gas are more important than freedom and justice, that the West is too tired and comfortable to sacrifice for its supposed values — that, as he said last summer, “the liberal idea has become obsolete.”
In the U.S., a Russian victory will free Donald Trump, his followers in the Republican Party, and the right-wing media of any need to pretend that they ever objected to Putin’s war. Trump will strengthen his grip on the party, compelling other Republicans to go along or be tagged as accomplices of woke Democrats, weak Europeans, and corrupt Ukrainians.
If, on the other hand, Putin’s regime of militarized kleptocracy — fascism without the inspiration — suffers an unmistakable defeat, it will diminish American authoritarians of all types. Ukraine’s win might start to clear out some of the reflexive cynicism that corrodes our politics.

I have read stories ... unfortunately, links can't be found now ... of people arrested for saying "bad things" about Ukraine in Germany and Britain. English-language Russian websites have been banned. Even Russian classical composers and authors, and cats, dogs, and trees have been banned!
Biden* wants Republicans to be labeled as "domestic terrorists", the FBI is investigting parents for questioning school curricula, and famous people are being criticized and threatened for being anti-Zelensky. People have been stuck in jail for months, including solitary confinement, for tresspass (hilariously labeled as "insurrection"). The threat to personal liberty and job security for expressing a different POV is real.Quote:

Here's an experiment for you to try, SECOND: Go out somplace public with a pro-Russian T-shirt on, and tell us how it went.
The fact that hardly anyone brings objectivity to the discussion just proves how very successful that drive is, and how scary it is to criticize the howling mob.
You're such a tool.
^ SIGNYM? Are you just now understanding that a lot of people actually HATE Russia? And that that hatred is getting worse and worse? And it's because of what they are doing in Ukraine? Are you getting closer to understanding that it's all Putin's doing?

Are you aware of the fact that a lot of people HATED Saddam Hussein ... because of disinformation?
HATED the Japanese prior to WWII? (And then, miraculously, came to revere Japan as a successful "capitalist" nation?)
Many people HATED Trump because of "collusion" with Russia?
A billion flies eat shit, and I put people who "hate" Russia into the billion-fly category because they ate psyops and loved it.
