insane warmongers are hard to stop

Dont think visualization will work with Comrade Vlad. A silver bullet maybe.

Doesn’t the Russan Orthodox Church condone and support the invasion of Ukraine?

Does the Pope wear that white cap to bed? And need an alarm clock?

Sigh.

You have to think like Putin. What would Putin do? If Putin were the number 2 man in Russia, he would do whatever was necessary to become the number one man.

If we promise to give the number 2 man in Russia his yacht and bank account back. Maybe this will happen,

I am not suggesting that it has to be bloody; it just has to happen.

We are dealing with greedy, “What’s-in-it-for-me”, opportunistic politicians whose loyalty lasts only as long as it is profitable for them.

We should know how to deal with these jackals and hyenas who eat their own: we have plenty of them here in the United States.

The only peaceful solution is for Putin to go. The people will not vote him out. Even if the election isn’t “rigged” they only have FOX News (Tucker Carlson) and Russian State television as a news source. All they hear about is the Nazi Fascist Ukrainians who attacked Russia and how ONLY Putin can save them from this threat and those namby-pamby, liberal “peacenicks” who object and do not LOVE Putin are traitors. Here we just call them traitors, in Russia they are never heard from again.

Putin has promised them to Make Russia Great Again.

Even if the Patriarch did tell Putrid to leave Ukraine he wouldn’t listen. Perhaps the Russians would have a new Patriarch.

Most other Orthodox bishops and metropolitans oppose the war, including the ROCOR (Russian Orthodox Church Outside Russia). Even some of Patriarch Kirill’s own people disagree with him.

from your mouth to God’s ear.

Manifest it.
