Dr. Musser first talks about his books and work history for the first 10 minutes. After that, the discussion talks about the Russo-Ukraine war. Musser provides its historical context rooted in the history of the Soviet Union, its fall, and the significance of the Budapest Mermorandum signed in 1994 that was broken when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014. Musser further talks about the criminal state that comprises the Kremlin, Ukraine’s own troubles, and Paul Manafort’s efforts in Ukraine for 10 years that strangely is never discussed. Musser concludes by discussing the spiritual angle of the war that is seldom appreciated.

One finds that the promotion of this individual was done about a year ago, to zero comments from Freepers.

Dr. Mark Musser on Ukraine, Russia, and Global Spiritual Warfare: A Christian Missionary Perspective from the Inside. Posted on 8/23/2025, 1:26:53 PM by Olympiad Fisherman

As to this post about the same individual, one learns that there have been "114 views Premiered Sep 16, 2026" according to the YouTube channel info.

From his own YouTube channel, Dr. Mark Musser , this is "hot off the press." His channel declares "@markmusser2572 • 94 subscribers • 34 videos."

Seems like a nice enough fellow, representing the " Ararat-Rainer East-West Fellowship,"

the significance of the Budapest Mermorandum signed in 1994 that was broken when Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014

The Budapest Memorandum really went out the window when the Russians intercepted and leaked Nuland's call, wherein she and the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine picked the replacement for the Ukrainian President weeks before he was overthrown by a violent mob.

It sounds like pro-Kremlin propaganda which I am very skeptical of, and even if it were true, President Yanukovych was just a Russian puppet whose plan was to make Ukraine subservient to Moscow. The idea that Russia cares about Ukrainian independence is absurd on its face. That is the last thing they want.

Regardless of your opinion, he was the duly elected president. The puppet was the guy selected by neocons to replace him after a coup.

The word “neocons” was promoted by ilk like Tucker Carlson. Anytime these days, I completely ignore the word, and do not listen to anything the person says, because I already know the discussion is a bunch of foolishness and very unserious. It is a boogey man word. You need to come up with something better than that. You are brainwashed by all kinds of folks and do not know what you are talking about.

And as I said before, it doesn’t matter whether your conspiracy theory is true. It would still be an internal matter of Ukraine. Just because they rebelled against Yanukovych still does not give the right for Russia to attack Ukraine. Yanukovych’s decisions are what led to this disaster because he kept ignoring many Ukrainians. There were millions of folks on the streets of Kyiv in 2014 from all over the country that Soros’s schemes, as evil as they are, cannot explain. Yanukovych’s policies allowed Soros and his Democratic minions to use the situation, but they are not the cause of it. You call yourself “gunslinger” and yet are strangely pro-Russian. There are absolutely no gun rights in Russia. They are against them, and are working feverishly to figure out a way to get them out of American hands. What you are promoting online is one of the ways in which they do just that.
