Actually Ukraine which is largely a church going nation is being invaded and is restricting the Russian branch of their church that is aiding the invaders.

Russia’s branch of Orthodox are largely a part of the government, a ceremonial front of a government church that Russians don’t actually attend.

ARW said this:
“Unlike Ukraine, Russia is not defending American values.”

Robert DeLong answered this:
“You mean like Biden does right? You’re a joke.
Ukraine is not defending anything, especially American values.
Why would Russia even want to support American values when the American values are being eviscerated by enemies from within?
Your statement is nothing more than utter ignorance.”

USA-FRANCE answer:

ARW is referring to the best of America, there is a lot of goodness in America.
Just because Biden happens to be momentarily at the White House, that should not blind us from the fact that America is a great, great nation with a remarkable history and has the world’s best constitution (strongly influenced by France by the way).

Your disdain for Biden is one thing. But you don’t have to denigrate the entirety of The United States of America, only based upon one individual running the White House.
Right?

This is my country, however, it is not the one I was born into.

He made an absolutely ignorant statement, and I stand by what I said 100%. Anyone supporting what this monster Biden is doing, who stole the 2020 election, deserves to be dealt with harshly. Ukraine is no better than Russia. They created the conditions by purposely provoking the Bear, with assistance from the CIA, which has become an utterly corrupt entity. It falls into the category of FAFO.

I feel sorry for the Ukrainian people because they voted for Zelenskyy who lied to them, by saying he would stop the hostilities in eastern Ukraine. He started to, but them betrayed his people by waging a proxy war with an opponent who had far superior numbers in every important category, as well as, proximity for supplying a war with needed materials.

It was a foolhardy endeavor driven by people who were buffoons from the GetGo, Boris Johnson & Joseph Robinette Biden.

Furthermore, I have every right to be far more concerned about my nation. It does not depend upon what happens in Ukraine. However, the fate of this nation has dramatic impacts upon the world. For if this nation falls, there is no one left to stop the world from falling into tyrannical evil hands. We are the real target, Ukraine is just the distraction, and you people refuse to see that reality.

France is a good example. We saved them in WWII, and they were never really appreciative. Charles de Gaulle despised us and had no qualms of letting us know that.

I think the oldest church in Ukraine is St. Sophias in Kiev, Built by Prince Yaroslav in 1199.
