ZarGhost (Zardiw) Man, rabbit holes can be captivating, eh. You've been informed Putin invaded Ukraine not because he had been threatened by NATO.
And not because of gross Nazi influence in Ukraine. But because he saw the disintegration of the Soviet Union as a catastrophe. See:
A message to all who see Christian vales under threat by naughty Democrats and others who support inclusivity of groups who have, for different reasons, been persecuted for a period longer than any of us have lived. Putin feels as you do. See excerpt from a post of December, 2022:
'Russia says military drone attempted to strike gas facility near Moscow'
Vladimir Putin: a miracle defender of Christianity or the most evil man?
[...]
Despite the Bolshevik years, this sense of a holy destiny of Kyiv and Mother Russia has never left and Putin is its champion. Under Putin the Orthodox church has boasted that it is building and opening three churches a day, and the church celebrated the return of Crimea. Little wonder the Orthodox Patriarch Kirill a decade ago called Putin “a miracle of God .. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-russia-putin-religion-idUKTRE81722Y20120208 ”.
And in Putin’s mind it goes further.
Just as he probed me about Christianity .. https://www.theguardian.com/world/christianity .. in the west, he reportedly said in a speech in 2013: “We see many of the Euro-Atlantic countries are actually rejecting their roots, including the Christian values that constitute the basis of western civilisation. They are denying the moral principles and all traditional identities: national, cultural, religious and even sexual.”
Kyiv must be taken, in his mind, to preserve the Christian battle. And there may be many Christians in the west who agree with some of his sentiments.
A miracle defender of Christianity or the most evil man? Well, it is Ukrainian Christians among others whom he is now slaughtering indiscriminately and he has little understanding of Jesus, who said “blessed are the peacemakers”.
No, this is a power vision threaded through with nationalistic Christian theology. And evil is the
right word when a leader uses religion to justify in God’s name invasion, violence and annihilation.
