Is Putin running for Pope?
I suppose that Putin thinks that this is a small thing.
Small things precipitate large things.
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.
Putin has been rebuilding the Christian church’s in Russia. He just foolishly kissed all that away. There is a good reason Christianity and Islam have been at war for over 16 centuries. Islam is inherently evil.
“russian warlord.”
is there a gaslighting-media disclaimer?
So much for his claim to be a Christian. (Not that there wasn’t already ample proof that he’s not).
The Kursk incursion took so many troops from the defense of the Donbas that the front lines there can no longer be held up. It has also diverted scarce artillery ammunition which the Donbas defenders now lack. The Ukrainian defense in Donbas is currently crumbling with the Russian side taking several villages per day.
There was some hope expressed that Russia would divert troops from its Donbas attack towards Kursk. But the Kursk operation is on Russian ground where the Russian army is allowed to use conscript unit to defend the country. Conscripts are not allowed to take part in the operation within Ukraine. This gives the Russian army a large reserve that it can use against the incursion.
