Russias War Against Religion in Ukraine

a reply to: FlyersFan

Ffs i mean is there anything those silly Russki's won't start a scrap over?

And they canny fight sleep nether.

I mean if it was not for the vast size of their nation one would be apt to assume they have "small man syndrome".

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Yeah, just the usual ranting and raving.

One for the good guys that General getting his comeuppance.👏👏👏

The dude thats in charge of their nukes and biological weapons stockpiles.

Being taken out with an exploding rusty Vespa sounds like poetic justice to me.

And given the time period he was in charge.

Would have been responsible, or at least have knowledge of their last Novichok attack on British soil never mind the chemical attacks on Ukrainian troops.

Good riddance to bad rubbish really.

a reply to: andy06shake

Apparently it was a nearby electric scooter. A Vespa? No. That's class. He had no class.

Those electric bikes always were a bit of a fire hazard.

He also spread lies about Ukrainian bioweapons labs ( which lies some still lap up) and also claimed the US was going to release genetically altered mossies to infect Russians with lethal malaria.

Good riddance. Indeed.

a reply to: Oldcarpy2

Just me being a facetious mate.

The contrast through is class in a glass.

a reply to: andy06shake

You...facetious? My shocked face. 😲

Getting a bit desperate aren't you?

Who cares about him using an Orthodox Church to offer his thanks to Chaplain's of all denominations?
If the Ukrainian Church is happy and comfortable with it why would it bother you so much?

As for having a bump?
Any evidence or just rumours and accusations?
And as if he'd be the only national leader to do so.....I'm 100% certain many others have done so or are doing so and I'm equally certain many more will in the future.
How does it harm you if he is?

We’ll address your “desperate” remark in a moment.

Umm, yeah, it would seem weird and bother other people

As an Orthodox Christian, I’ve never encountered any Orthodox Church in the U.S. or abroad that would allow an Orthodox Church to be used as a banquet hall or as a Arby’s.

A Church isn’t a buffet. Period. There’s usually separate halls for lunches and dinings near the church etc.

Moving forward, this is just more proof for most Trump voters that the Zelensky regime is a joke, and definitely not worth a rat ass fighting WW3 over for.

Nice try.

While some leaders may engage in questionable behavior, there are others who choose not to, or at least do not make it public.

If you don’t mind having a publicly drugged President, maybe there are other potential countries like in Central and South America etc that might perk your interest. Then again, there’s also Ukraine 🤣

lol

Can only imagine our recent election with options like:


• “Yes, it’s okay for the President to be visibly drugged, during a crisis.”


• “No, it’s NOT okay for the President to be publicly drugged up, especially in a crisis.”


lol


“getting a bit desperate” nope, I’m not like others here that started triple posting in a row, and tried derailing the thread

But this wasn't in the USA, it was in war torn Ukraine where Ukrainian Orthodox Christians are by far in the majority.
Again, why would it bother you when it quite clearly doesn't bother anyone in Ukraine including the Ukrainian Orthodox Church?

Drugged national leaders?
Its widely believed Winston Churchill regularly took amphetamines during the whole of WWII. He was also a well known drinker - show me a better modern war time leader?

You just answered your own question. It’s a sh*thole proxy now. That’s run by a corrupted regime with Zelensky. Of course they don’t know where’s up or down.

Very aware of Churchill. And other past leaders. Also in WW2, the Nazis used meth apparently back then too, and were regarded as one of the best/unstoppable armies. At least during the early lightning speed blitzkrieg phase

The point is, if you want to defend Zelensky that hard “so what if he’s on coke or high grade meth etc or other Presidents. what’s it to you?” etc.

Well, it IS our business. Seeing we’ve been throwing 100s of billions of dollars into that corrupted dumpster fire there.

Thankfully, the winning majority of Americans that voted for Trump are fed up.

No more sunflowers, no more holding puppies PR bs. We are not going to WW3 over that proxy sh*thole.

Either way, prepare yourself because it’s time for this BS to end soon. With or without our help. Period.

And no we’re not going to cry over Crimea or Donbass etc being with Russia, if that’s the case for future negotiations and avoiding WW3. No matter how much the comedian begs, wants to go to the Oscars every year (keeps getting denied), or sniffles.

a reply to: Imhere

So what happens when Trump doesn't wave that big magic wand and end the war overnight?

Take it you won't be too impressed.

And he could always decide to back Ukraine and smell the Russian fear, especially if there is a deal or money to be made.

Ukraine is sitting on what is supposed to be a load of rare earth elements that are apt to be in demand.

The truth is we simply dont know which way that cookie will crumble.

a reply to: Imhere

Why don't you leave aside your hatred of Zelensky for once and consider what the Ukrainian people might want?

a reply to: Imhere

"A few things that’s wrong with this picture, starting with converting a Church into a dinning hall..."

Refectory:

noun
a room used for communal meals in an educational or religious institution.

So, what's your problem with this?

"Refectory".

Got that?

a reply to: Imhere

Typical.

You place an incredible amount of belief in Trump.....but what happens if he can't stop this senseless war? (Not a criticism of Trump, I think he genuinely wants to stop it and believes he can, but I suspect it might not be as easy as some people think.)
Blind faith in anything or anyone usually ends up in disaster for someone.

I wasn't particularly defending Zelensky, I was asking why you appear to be so outraged that he held that meeting in a Ukrainian Orthodox Church when it didn't seem to bother anyone else especially the Ukrainian Orthodox Church itself and its followers?
As usual no real answer other than bitterness and outrage directed at Zelensky.

You insinuated that he is a drug user and most likely had a quick pick-me-up before starting his address.
Any actual real substantiated evidence of any of this?

I pointed out that many national leaders have used narcotics and inebriants over the years, and probably still do. In many instances it didn't have a detrimental effect on their ability to perform their duties, sometimes to a very high standard.

Your reply; you agreed and then went on another rant and as usual a bit of a tangent.

ETA.
I have deleted the last paragraph of this post as on re-reading I thought it was an inappropriate and possibly unwarranted personal attack.
Apologies to Imhere.

"No matter how much the comedian begs,...""

If only Putin had a sense of humour. Not seeing one.

Reagan starred in comedy films.

Seems to have made a pretty good President, mind.

You just have to get him in the correct mood.
