Daily reminder that Kirill is a KGB operative with a codename per KGB records. His task was in spreading Liberation Theology through the world religious organizations, which he seems to have been doing as late as 2009 before getting picked to be Archbishop.
He is not a “traditionalist.” He just plays one on tv.
The situation of Russia vs Ukraine is much more complex than surface analysis would indicate. It appears that Russia is running a deception operation on a massive scale, making themselves to be weaker than they appear (prevent arms buildup). The amount of western information warfare and propaganda is massive. Also it appears that Russia is using Kiev as bait, not driving in there but tying Ukraines best units there as they take the south and east of the country. The widespread use of third rate units and central Asian mercenaries would also fit this mold. On the grand scale, Russia will get the most productive parts of Ukraine, create an alternative trading system with China and other bad actors, de westernize, adapting Chinese censorship styles and social credit systems, and re assemble the Soviet Union and its institutions for the most part. Those are all wins on Putin’s part.

Thank you! All these gullible fools uttering all this clap trap as if this guy is some legitimate spiritual leader. He's a Kremlin stooge, a total fraud.
