The United States of America has many foreign policy sins, born out of arrogance and corruption.
We are now witnessing perhaps the worst American sin of all: The USA is now, we can say firmly, actively attempting to crush the Ukrainian people.
Ukraine was winning months ago. Putin begged Trump for help. Trump, aided by Elon and others including China, is now boosting the Russian War Machine.
With intel and Starlink switchoffs, Ukrainians are hindered not only offensively but are now struggling with air defense.
The White House is violating the will of Congress, the integrity of the American people, and rights of free people.
I’m sick of watching pathetic people on the Right bend over backward to excuse Putin or excuse Trump when he makes excuses for Putin.
You don’t have to love Zelensky to recognize who started this war, who invaded a sovereign nation, and who is fighting to defend it.
Putin is the problem, you tribalist dimwits.
‘Effective immediate’ Trump wrote on ‘Truth Social’ at the weekend. ‘There is an energy ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine. Both sides have agreed.’
Not a single word of that post is true.
There is no energy ceasefire. It is not effective immediate.
Ukraine has agreed in principle. But Trump’s pal Putin has not.
Pal Putin refused when Trump last said there was an energy ceasefire (Sept 14 — bollocks then, bollocks now).
Russia is still trying to cripple Ukraine’s energy infrastructure in advance of winter.
There have been 196 Russian attacks on Ukrainian electricity in the past week. They continue. Over 20 attacks on Ukrainian oil and gas. They continue.
And 153 Ukrainians, mainly civilians, killed in these and other attacks on residential areas.
Yet Trump calls for Zelensky to be deposed, blames him for war continuing, high energy prices (NOT his failing war on Iran!).
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Men, your wife's emotional state cannot be allowed to rule the home.
Lead your home. Be courageous enough to take your wife aside when necessary and gently call her to repent of a bad attitude.
If this idea terrifies you, it’s likely you especially need to take it.
If I understand this correctly, gluttony is not disqualifying for a pastor, but having a different historical take on World War II history is.
Why is this the case for many in today's church?
Many Reformed Boomer™ pastors claiming to be moral authorities are just insecure guys with insane levels of arrogance.
They have been lying about/trying to unrighteously destroy good men for many years.
Yet some of you still haven't woken up: These men are doing great evil.
No, we are mad that our President is siding with a war criminal who is invading its free and independent neighbor. We want a moral foreign policy.

@SteveRobTexas@martinw4565@RapidResponse47@POTUS Not a coup. Was a popular uprising v. repressive leader. Removal was constitutional. Yanukovych was so corrupt, even many Russophone Ukrainians had turned against him & most of his party voted for his removal with even 🇷🇺 recognising the new 🇺🇦 government. https://t.co/6anOVoufw4
Time for Putin to step down. Putin started the war. Putin has refused all peace deals with absurd demands or outright rejection. Putin has caused the death of 1 million or more. Putin has nuclear missiles aimed at our country. Putin is providing support to the Iranian regime.
I love it when condescending pricks who get their information from social media tell me to ‘learn about it’. Not realising that my family is half Russian, that I’m married to a Russian speaker who grew up in Donbas. That I speak Russian and have been to Donbas myself. That I have many Ukrainian and Russian friends. So yeah, I think I’m better informed than you.
Well, it seems you don’t understand how democracy works. No foreigner or foreign government is allowed to interfere in another country's domestic political affairs.
Russia is the aggressor. Ukraine has the right to self-defence. Other countries can help the country under attack. Helping the aggressor is illegal and immoral.
Did putin ask you about that?
You blame Zelensky for putin’s unwillingness to stop the war.
Even those in Ukraine who didn’t vote for Zelensky oppose holding elections under the current circumstances, not to mention the legal and security constraints.
You’d better call for free and fair elections in russia which they haven’t had since 2000.
So, chill out, dude. It’s none of your business.
