You people need to move to Russia for a year or two and find out how life is under this pint size despot.

I take solace in the thought that many but not a lot of people in the Western world admired Hitler in the 1930's even old Joe Kennedy. Then Hitler's mask came off in 1939 and the West turned against him. Hopefully the same is true here.

Churchmen condemned Nazi douchebaggery towards the Church in Europe, but National Socialism and/or "That man" were never formally condemned.

Also, the International Jew declared economic war on Germany in 1933. This was after they stabbed him in the back with the Balfour Declaration, Versailles, etc.

You take solace in the thought that WW2 ended what was left of Christian civilization in Europe and ushered in a new era of liberalism and rapid de-Christianization?

If there's a lesson to be learned from WW2, it is that fighting and dying for international finance and liberal democracy is a recipe for mass apostasy.
"For there are no works of power, dearly-beloved, without the trials of temptations, there is no faith without proof, no contest without a foe, no victory without conflict. This life of ours is in the midst of snares, in the midst of battles; if we do not wish to be deceived, we must watch: if we want to overcome, we must fight." - St. Leo the Great

To show you how unhinged Putin and Russia are from reality:

QuoteRussian troops are fighting in the special protective zone that encircles the remnants of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Nations have worked for decades to contain the 1986 disaster, which was so severe that some areas may not support human life for another century.

A particular concern is a billion-dollar containment dome erected in 2016 to contain the nuclear reactor that exploded and spewed fallout for miles.

UC San Francisco's Lydia Zablotska, a radiation expert who grew up in Ukraine, told Insider before Thursday's reported attacks that the zone remains "the most contaminated place" on earth.

"No one should go into those areas," Zablotska said. "It's dangerous for a reason. A number of studies both in humans and animals and from different branches of science say it's dangerous, unadvisable and no one should go into that area."

Anyone who supports this invasion is unhinged also.

The Ukrainian military are burning Defense records in Kyiv. It all looks a bit fall of Berlin, even the only Russians are distant. Russian helicopters attacking, some getting shot down. Russia has Chernobyl (maybe they could restart the other reactors which operated satisfactorily for years after the incident). Putin appears to be making barely veiled threats of nuclear war article. It's interesting.

Biden readying 'devastating sanctions' agreed with the G7, which probably has Putin sweating blood.

The face of war:

Putting a face to Putin's "special military operation". No attacks on the Ukranian people said Putin. Liar. 

The first casualty of war is truth.

QuoteBIDEN: RUSSIA ABILITY TO DEAL IN YENS, EUROS TO BE LIMITED *BIDEN: SANCTIONING RUSSIA BANKS

Sanctions came out.  Not much.  This line stands out.  Don't know what "limited" means.  Likely a carve out for Europe to pay for oil and gas.  The problem is that the Russians will want to do something with those Euros.  If that gets cut off, then the Russians will not want to sell oil and gas.  They'll have a work around set up that you won't know about.

So now we sit and wait to find out how Ukraine shakes out.

It means they still have access to SWIFT among a few other things. All you have to do is actually read what was announced to know.

Yes, wait and see what is, instead of speculating, guessing, and predicting online!

That is wisdom. If you continue, you'll find your previous adherence to non-Catholic ideologies, political conspiracy theories, and speculations to be laughable.

Imagine someone posting confidently about things they couldn't possibly know as if they did.

Focus on what is, and recognize that we have limited access to information. There is no reason to pretend we have knowledge we cannot have.

Putin showing how unhinged he is about nuclear war:

Hey, lets return to 1990 and if it means nuclear war, we go to heaven, and they will not have time to repent. Talk about derangement symtoms.

:crazy2:

OK ankle biter, go ahead and educate us.  What are the limits in Euro and Yen trade?  Does it cover nickel?  How about wheat?  Can the Russians purchase anything with Euros? 

By the way, SWIFT was covered by a separate line item in the press release, so you flubbed that one too.

Do you think the White House using this flaming faggot for some sort of video ad about the Biden White House was a good thing, given current circumstances (don't even need that really)?

Be respectful.

I am not the one promoting non-Catholic ideologies. You are. I have yet to be as wrong as you consistently are on this forum. You are the one who pretends to have a handle on international politics.

QuoteRussian Forces Seize Chernobyl Nuclear Plant; Kremlin Willing To Talk Kiev's "Terms Of Surrender"

Update(1:49pmET): Ukraine's government has confirmed that the Chernobyl power plant site has been seized by Russian forces. "The Prime Minister made the announcement in a televised briefing, saying Russian troops had taken control of the zone and the nuclear power plant," Bloomberg confirms.

"The facility is located about 80 miles (129km) north of Kyiv, several miles south of the Belarus border. Holding Chernobyl would provide Russian troops a staging point that couldn't be shelled," the report adds, in reference to the potential for dangerous radioactive fallout given the permanent presence of nuclear waste there.

Russian state media is in the evening Thursday (local time) citing Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov to say that Moscow is offering Kiev "terms of surrender". Meanwhile...

WESTERN ALLIES SEE KYIV FALLING TO RUSSIAN FORCES WITHIN HOURS

Peskov said: The president formulated his vision of what we would expect from Ukraine in order for the so-called 'red-line' problems to be resolved. This is neutral status, and this is a refusal to deploy weapons.

And further:

The operation has its goals – they must be achieved. The president (Putin) said that all decisions have been made, and the goals will be achieved," Peskov continued, suggesting that, if Kiev were to agree to meet the demands, the current military attack on Ukraine could be called off.

Next in a few years comes the Baltic states as some geopolitical commentators are saying. Georgia, Crimea, now Ukraine, next the Baltic states.

As Hitler did, one conquest only enhances the appetite for more. Weakness is oxygen for tyrants.

It is weird how people are just walking around and are not running for shelter against the bombs? Perhaps they believe that it is only certain military equipment that is being targeted?

You are projecting our social problems into geopolitics. A very poor match, expecially, in times of full-scale war.
