Let us keep in mind that on this very forum we have many folks who have been greatly shaken by the tragedies encountered by the Russian "Imperium" as of late. We have people who bought into the propaganda and have acted part of the "useful idiot", the role much cherished by those in power in...

He did earlier on during the war state that Russia would build a united Eurasia from Vladivostok to Lisbon, so the annexations of Georgia and Kazakhstan are not too out of line with his recent "line".

Indeed, it would be very stupid for Ukraine to surrender, especially now. Russia done goofed. They botched the early invasion to the extent that they are unable of reaching any major strategic goals without what would involve years of rebuild. In any case, I doubt many Ukrainians would submit...

Typical Russian warfare, unfortunately.

It will be hard for them to do anything after their ensuing collapse in Ukraine, for at that point the military will be so drastically crippled that it will take years of rebuilding to pose any kind of a threat. We already see T-62 tanks on the battlefield. I don't see the aid from USA ceasing...

Fear not. Russia will not be destroying anybody but themselves. They have lost the best bulk of their equipment and a good chunk of their best soldiers, too, with little relief available. They can try to drag out the conflict and freeze it, but they are not going to make any significant progress...

They literally live in these cities and villages.

Let us hear the take of the clerics (from a petition of over 200 priests) of UOC-MP, the vast majority of them Russian-speaking Ukrainians, who are right there, on the ground: "On February 24, 2022, Russian troops invaded the territory of the sovereign Ukrainian state without declaring war. The...

Indeed. The Baltic countries, Poland and Romania, and others, have much experience of the Russian mindset from the Soviet times. They suffered greatly after their "liberation" by the Soviet forces (even to this day, Russia claims that it liberated these countries and they joined and stayed part...

Oh believe me, I have been paying very close attention. And indeed it was to be suspected there were authors with multiple views, or a dissenting voice, as the reporting has not been as uniform as it usually is. That is commendable of you, and it is good to see your support for Met. Onuphry was...

Well, at least I do not make my living shilling in the interest of the Russian state on a propaganda outlet. Since you edited your post, I must add that I do not find pleasure in the hardships of the Russians who are not for the destruction of the Ukrainian state and bringing the Ukrainian...

When you spout bullsh*t like this, one is almost tempted to think that you deserve your new societal and economic accommodations, for what could be perhaps the rest of your life, depending on the life-span of Putin (and if his successor is a fellow silovik with the same policies) You fail to...

Do you trust what Met. Onuphry and the UOC-MP are saying?

It is a quote, not my own text

The "wisdom" of Metropolitan Leonid of Klin, the Patriarchal Exarch of Africa, on the full-scale invasion of Russia against Ukraine. It is in response to a post by Hegumen Arseny Sokolov (Moscow Patriarchate), who in symphony with the statements by Met. Onuphry, wrote: “Woe to you who call the...

:tearsofjoy:I literally simply quoted reports by the clergy of the UOC-MP. That is pretty far from BBC news, my friend. Let us hear it, once more, from the official spokesman of the Church: "The treacherous open invasion of Ukraine is a huge mistake of Russia. It is treacherous, because we...

What do you make of it, when the UOC-MP, the supposed primary targets (under MP and predominantly Russian-speaking Ukrainians) say, that the Russian army is killing civilians, children, destroying civilian targets, and they are not fighting Nazis either, but the Ukrainian nation?

Kirill has long disgraced the Church with his blatant politicizing and lobbying of Putin's deluded geopolitical views. Mark my words: when Putin inevitably falls, Kirill will fall too; his fate will range from "retirement" to anathema and imprisonment/even death. We should, however, pray for his...

Archbishop Jonah Cherepanov (UOC-MP): This information is for friends and subscribers from Russia. Ukrainians know what is happening. Maybe in Russia they will understand that this war is not against the "Nazis", but against the Orthodox people. On the night of March 7-8, 2022, a bomb dropped...
