Russian war fanatics are enraged over an 'almost naked' party staged in Moscow by wealthy showbiz celebrities including Vladimir Putin's 'goddaughter'.
The 'debauched' gathering was likened to Sodom and Gomorrah by critics claiming the antics of the wealthy stars insulted those on the frontline in the Kremlin's illegal war against Ukraine.
Among the most visible guests was a pregnant and braless Ksenia Sobchak, 40, a TV presenter and 'liberal' Russian presidential candidate in 2018, in a nude-coloured Sorelle outfit.
She is known as Putin's goddaughter after he attended her baptism and viewed her late father Anatoly Sobchak as his political mentor.

Putin's goddaughter later rejected criticism of the semi-naked party, saying: 'Maybe it was a bad party in your opinion.
'We wanted glamour and it turned out the way it did.
'Maybe you don't like to look at it all, but, sorry, where and when grown-ups go with a bare bum is their own business.
'The world isn't fair - it always has been this way, is and always will be.
'Somewhere people are being killed, somewhere children are starving, and somewhere else [people are] drinking champagne at the same time.

some Churchill, he is.
The Ukrainians weren’t happy when Obama and the CIA took over their country in 2014. And they don’t like it when their country is the site for bioweapons labs, child sex trafficking and money laundering.
Stop lying about the Ukrainian people! They’re not pawns for you to spread propaganda!
Nope. Russia needs to be demilitarized as much as possible prior to inauguration.
Do you believe what you’re saying here?
Obama took over Ukraine in 2014 ??!! Obama cannot point to Ukraine on an unmarked globe. You probably cannot do it either. On second thought, please do not visit Ukraine because they have enough trouble with Russian pigs and apes already. Just quit writing fiction on subjects which you know nothing about.
And why do you have Christian claims on your about page when you support Mohammedans fighting Ukrainian Christians?
“Not in this case, it is a spiritual not an emotional belief.”
Nice try, kid. Spirituality is simply emotion writ large. It is, at its very basic, the attempt to rationalize the unexplainable.
“Sorry, you still lose that BS argument you keep making.”
Prove me wrong.
“Because you really believe, in the emotional sense, that you are smarter than you actually are.”
You are projecting, kid.
Your argument is premised on Obama never went to the Ukraine?
And why would you equate my support for Putin’s liberation of child sex slaves with something entirely unrelated?
I just knew you didn't possess any critical thinking skill sets, you have now confirmed it.
BTW, you are also supporting the Deep State & the Uni-party, which really puts in doubt your claims, of supporting Trump twice & working on his campaigns. because the only other alternative is that in addition to lacking critical thinking skills, you are unable to even identify the enemies from within.
That adds up to you being a useful idiot.
OK, you win the thread!
“Do you believe what you’re saying here?”
What? That faith is one’s conviction that one’s belief is true? Absolutely.
Scripture addresses this specifically: “Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” In other words, those who lack convincing evidence to support their belief, yet have faith in their belief, are blessed. Thus, faith is the conviction that one’s belief is true.
“Spirituality is simply emotion writ large.”
This is a false statement originating in superficial thinking while pretending to be something profound.
I feel sorry for you if you believe it is merely an emotional response, because that can only mean one thing, you haven't found the truth for yourself yet. I pray that you do.
The message in your post #74 is that belief is distinct from facts.
But you present what you claim to be facts, and you believe them.
“some Churchill, he is.”
Who? Trump? Because Trump was the only person mentioned by name in post#74; so, it would appear you are referring to Trump, and implying he is “some Churchill.”
How do you say “guillotine” in Russian?
I worked on President Reagan’s reelection campaign, too.
“This is a false statement originating in superficial thinking while pretending to be something profound.”
Too funny! Spirituality cannot exist WITHOUT emotion.
You seem to be using the word “spirituality” strictly to mean “spiritual belief.” Which is fine, but we should be clear about terms.
And I think you’re implying that emotional response is distinct from practical reasoning—also a sensible thing to imply.
But what you seem not to understand is that practical reasoning, independent of emotion, also leads to spiritual belief.
“No, in your mind it may be, but to spiritually come to the realization that there was indeed a creator doesn’t require emotions at all.”
But it does!
“It requires deep thinking to determine the truth. The truth led me to the realization that not only was a creator responsible for all we see around us, but also to know that he is till with us.”
You BELIEVE you know the truth, and you have FAITH that your belief is true. That is NOT a criticism.; it is simply how man reacts to the unknown or the unexplainable.
Good grief. For a hell of a long time man believed the earth was flat; or the shell of a giant tortoise; or whatever. And they had faith that that belief was true. Subsequent discoveries proved their belief to be wrong.
“The message in your post #74 is that belief is distinct from facts.”
Eventually belief either becomes fact, or it is dismissed as folly or wishful thinking.
