I guess you gotta do what you need to when you are invaded.
Assemble, wolverines!
Russians do not need anyone's approval or condemnation. We have a simple Divine principle: Do what you must, and come what may.

Stalin and Hitler thought the same thing
The irony of your statement and dictators throughout history isn't lost

I wonder why it is that witches are, by far too many, automatically associated with Satanic ritual??
I know several practicing witches, none of whom worship anything remotely resembling Satan...
Before one accuses of such, might it not be wise to, oh, I don't know, learn a little something about the practice of it??
But, hey, what ever floats ones boat, I guess.

And how do you know what Hitler or Stalin thought. Pride has destroyed many people, and will destroy more.
asking for help from the Satanists of America.
We Russians just need to be clear about who we are dealing with.

And your LGBT rainbow flag on the killing machines, of course, is a sign of the highest tolerance, democracy and victory))))))
Deflectory again i see when faced with the simple hypocrisy of your nonsense.......and it's not my LBGT flag as any post I make equally denounces any walk of humanity that kills or maims.
As I told you yesterday your country is not alone here, it shares the same condemnation as the vast majority of the world.
You all have no right considering your actions to display the saviours image.....I'd say it's blasphemous at best.

Divine providence? Is Russia on a crusade?
I am not sure many of the faithful on these forums would take kindly to saying that Russia has divine providence for attacking Ukraine.
Consider the following regarding prominent religious leaders and the war in Ukraine:
“The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill, has not said a word against Russian aggression. . . . His Church’s systematic propaganda campaign about Ukraine has been utilised in Putin’s justification for war.”—EUobserver, March 7, 2022.
“Patriarch Kirill . . . has sent his strongest signal yet justifying his country’s invasion of Ukraine—describing the conflict as part of a struggle against sin.”—AP News, March 8, 2022.
“Ukrainian Orthodox Church leader, Metropolitan Epiphanius I of Kyiv, on Monday blessed his people to ‘fight against the Russian invaders’ . . . [He] also stated that killing Russian soldiers isn’t a sin.”—Jerusalem Post, March 16, 2022.
“We [the Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO)] support the Armed Forces of Ukraine and all our defenders, we bless them in their defense of Ukraine from the aggressor, and offer our prayers for them.”—UCCRO * Statement, February 24, 2022. [*: The UCCRO, or Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations, includes 15 churches representing Orthodox, Greek and Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Evangelical denominations as well as Jews and Muslims.]
What do you think? Should religions that claim to follow Jesus Christ encourage their members to go to war? What does the Bible say?
The history of religion in war
History shows that religion has often condoned, justified, or even promoted war while pretending to work for peace. ...
...
In 1943, Stalin finally agreed to recognize the Orthodox Church by appointing Sergius as its new patriarch. “The Church authorities responded by raising money from the faithful to fund a Soviet armored column,” Overy noted. “Priests and bishops exhorted their congregations to observe the faith, God’s and Stalin’s.”
Describing this period of Russian history, the Russian religious scholar Sergei Ivanenko wrote: ‘The official publication of the Russian Orthodox Church, The Journal of the Moscow Patriarchate, praised Stalin as the greatest leader and teacher of all times and nations, sent by God to save the nation from oppression, landowners, and capitalists. It called upon believers to give their last drop of blood in defending the USSR from its enemies and to give their all to build Communism.’
“Highly Valued by the KGB”
Even after World War II ended in 1945, the Orthodox Church remained useful to the Communists. The Soviet Union: The Fifty Years, edited by Harrison Salisbury, revealed how this was so: “With the war’s end, church leaders fell in with the Cold War demands of Stalin’s foreign policy.”
The recent book The Sword and the Shield describes how church leaders served Soviet interests. It explains that Patriarch Alexis I, who had succeeded Sergius as patriarch in 1945, “joined the World Peace Council, the Soviet front organization founded in 1949.” The book also notes that he and Metropolitan Nikolai “were highly valued by the KGB [the Soviet State Security Committee] as agents of influence.”
Remarkably, in 1955, Patriarch Alexis I declared: “The Russian Orthodox Church supports the totally peaceful foreign policy of our government, not because the Church allegedly lacks freedom, but because Soviet policy is just and corresponds to the Christian ideals which the Church preaches.”
In the January 22, 2000, issue of The Guardian of London, England, dissident Orthodox priest Georgi Edelshtein is quoted as saying: “All the bishops were carefully picked so that they would work with the soviet government. All were KGB agents. It is well known that Patriarch Alexy was recruited by the KGB, under the code-name of Drozdov. Today, they are preserving the same politics that they had 20 or 30 years ago.”
