The failed Russian Messiah is practicing his religion of one, while his holy crusade to rid Europe of infidels continues, Putin’s religious war is supported by Iran and the Ayatollah., and other masters of petrochemical industries.

In your mind does, 'Make peace!' mean, 'Surrender!' ?
Why shouldn't Ukrainian or Russian people celebrate Christmas?

Peace can happen when Putin and the Kremlin pull their armies, state and private, back across the border into Russia, where they can celebrate in their own churches, and perhaps those with a gram of humanity reflect on the barbaric acts they participated in. Putin has made this a crusade, the world can only hope it's his last battle.

Why is Christmas celebrated on Dec. 25 in the West whereas in the East it is celebrated on Jan. 7?

Orthodox Christians base the date on the older Julian calendar rather than the new-fangled Gregorian calendar.

Putin needs to be tried as a war criminal. He could just leave Ukraine and this war would end but no… all he wants is to take away Ukrainian freedom. Luckily there is more and more evidence that he isn’t too well, but it could still be a while before he drops. He’ll spend an eternity burning in hell. Just evil.

The midget from Moscow will need the intercession of a Deity when the UA gets modern armor and goes on the offensive.

It’s hilarious all the childish “midget” comments like (a) that it somehow matters and (b) that if it matters if Putin is a midget then so is Zelensky as they are…..the same height.

The Head of the Russian Orthodox Church is asking Putin for a Christmas Cease Fire? He welcomed Putin's War on 24th February, 2022!

Does the US have a responsibility to arm (for free) every country that might get conquered? Well except the ones the USA wants to conquer themselves, of course!
Or just arm only this one? We didn’t arm Crimea did we? Blankets and meal packs only.
