TIGHT PANTS AND STILETTOS ON! SURRENDER ZELENSKY!
Posted on 09/07/2024 11:18:35 AM PDT by marcusmaximus
RUSSIA has declared a state of emergency in one of its regions after Kyiv launched a huge kamikaze drone strike on a missile storage facility.
Video circulating on social media showed explosions erupt in Russia's Voronezh region after a hit on one of Vlad's ammunition dumps.
Authorities were urgently evacuating residents after the Ukrainians struck around 3am.
A huge blaze burned and there were follow-up explosions throughout the night.
Footage taken from a highway showed constant explosions as the night sky was lit up by bright orange flashes.
A major highway was closed while shells and other munitions exploded.
The eruptions continued for hours, according to local Telegram channels.
Voronezh governor Alexander Gusev said: “The drone's impact caused a fire that spread to explosive materials, leading to detonations.”
A state of emergency was declared the Ostrogozhsky district, while hundreds of residents were rushed from Soldatskoye village - about 50 miles west of Belgorod.
Temporary accommodation has been set up for displaced residents, reports say.

TIGHT PANTS AND STILETTOS ON! SURRENDER ZELENSKY!
*sigh*
What I’m about to post has nothing to do with the Ukraine war — nothing at all. But, God, am I pissed.
I don’t support the Russians when it comes to the invasion of Ukraine. They had other options.
But Goddamn it. Dammit to Hell.
I don’t want to have to rely on the Russians of all people to be the defenders of Christendom. God knows their leaders are anything but paragons of virtue.
Maybe this is the alcohol I’ve had tonight speaking, but GODDAMN IT!
I was baptized Greek Orthodox and raised Roman Catholic. I watch the Pope pandering to the gays and it makes me want to cry. And then I look at the Russian Orthodox church, in a country led by a murderous dictator, of all people, standing in the way, and I want to scream.
DAMN IT TO HELL! WHERE IS THE WEST!
We shouldn’t have to rely on the Russians but they’re the only people, it seems, willing to say to the gays, to the Muslims, “’F*ck you, WE’RE NOT HAVING THIS, this will destroy society”.
WHAT HAS BECOME OF US?
Where is our champion? We don’t have one, and it’s driving me crazy. We don’t even have the Greeks speaking up, and when I was growing up I used to take solace that at least the Patriarch would scream bloody murder about something that was clearly wrong. I’m finding myself hoping for the day that we get a new Pope and praying that someone with sanity and righteousness takes over, but it’s gotten so hard to have hope any more.
America’s piggy bank looks just like the one in your cartoon, mommy.
Why do you care more about what happens in foreign countries than you do about what happens in AMERICA?
Prayer points to guide our prayers for peace and freedom in both Ukraine and Russia:
• God has a way of showing up when things are difficult. God often uses very serious struggles to draw people to himself. Pray that he would be glorified through the people of Ukraine who are following him.
• Pray for God’s peace to be a source of strength. Pray for the workers there — both expat and Ukrainians to be comforted by God’s shalom peace.
• Pray for God’s protection. Pray for the safety of people on both sides of this border. Ask God for their physical protection but also their spiritual protection — ask him to help people seek the truth during the conflict.
• Ask God for comfort. As the war continues from the 2014 Russian invasion of the Crimea region, this more intense invasion is overwhelming to the many families who have already lost fathers and sons.
• Ask God to intervene. Pray for God’s wisdom to guide the steps and plans of world leaders.
• Pray that Russia and Ukraine would be places without corruption.
• Pray for leaders of both countries to know God’s truth and peace and be transformed by his Holy Spirit: that they would lead their countries in the way of peace.
• Ask for repentance, grace, forgiveness and reconciliation throughout Ukraine and Russia for the people to be re-united in their reconciliation.
• Ask that this would open doors of opportunities for the gospel. God has a way of showing up when things are difficult.
“Why do you care more about what happens in foreign countries than you do about what happens in AMERICA?”
I do NOT care more about other nations.
However, the topic of this post is “Russia declares state of emergency near border as Ukrainian kamikaze drone blows up Putin missile dump in huge explosion’. Try to avoid going off topic.
Prayer for the Greatest Nation On The Face Of The Earth...
Lets just see how long their soldiers will fight when the USA stops paying them? Ukraine is on its last legs and everyone knows it. Still, If Trump isn’t elected. Out dollar plunges to being four dollars a penny, Trillions will still go to Ukraine. Americans will starve before Ukraine has to suffer. Its a one way system and most of the bucks goes in payoffs.
>>>>I do NOT care more about other nations.<<<<
Your words prove otherwise, “REVEREND”.
>>>>However, the topic of this post is “Russia declares state of emergency near border as Ukrainian kamikaze drone blows up Putin missile dump in huge explosion’. Try to avoid going off topic.<<<<
AMERICA is in a State of Emergency...That’s a topic I’ll talk about whenever and wherever I please.
And if you weren’t Zelensky’s Useful Idiot, you’d talk about it as well.
We know you're hiding out "REVEREND".
Oh, that's right, you've got to get up early for "church" tomorrow.
Putin is an evil man doing evil things. But every single day that Ukraine survives is a day that the evil Putin is still a loser.
Why are you spamming Free Republic with non-stop pro-Russian propaganda?To my ears, our anti-Ukers sound just like 1960s era long-haired hippy-type anti-Vietnam freaks.
There's nothing conservative about them.
Thank you for sharing this awesome prayer by Dave Butts
“Revive our Hearts”.
It’s Time to Pray, Day 9
https://www.reviveourhearts.com/40-days-praying-your-nation/blog/its-time-pray-day-9/
Prayer Points:
• Thank the Lord for His promise of protection for the servants of the Lord.
• Ask the Lord to raise up a shield of protection over our nation.
• In the name of Jesus, resist the Enemy’s attacks on the godly foundation of the United States.
“Father, Your promises are always sure. Thank You that You give Your servants the privilege of walking in victory and refuting every word spoken against us.
Now, Lord, help us in wisdom to do this on behalf of our nation. Lord, awaken Your people out of apathy and help us to stand against the attacks of Satan against our nation. Forgive us for our passivity.
May no weapon of the Enemy prevail against our nation, but may every one of those weapons come to naught against our Shield and Deliverer!”
Amen, May it be so.
KGB Lt.Col. Vladimir Putin, 1980:
delta7: "Not a good idea to keep poking the Bear.
Vlad has shown much restraint, that may change when his citizens start calling for a pound of flesh."
The Duke: "Agreed ... I doubt that Vlad imagines the flag of his enemies as being anything other than red, white and blue."
No doubt what Vlad the Invader wants is to restore the glory days of his youth -- as a KGB Lt.Col. in the Old Soviet Empire -- by igniting Cold War II.
And, of course, one essential element of Cold War I was the ever-present threat of nuclear annihilation.
That's what gave the economically miserable USSR its global significance and reach.
Cold War I ended around 1991 after 45+ years when the Old Soviet Union collapsed -- due to the effects of a 10 yearlong losing war in Afghanistan, and Ronald Reagan & Poppy Bush's policy of Peace Through Strength.
In 2005 Ex-KGB agent Putin said, "The breakup of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century."
Essential to Russia restoring Old Soviet style global influence and regional hegemony, is a credible threat of nuclear annihilation -- which Putin is working on but has so far failed to make much progress.
For one thing, even Putin's closest friends, like China and India, keep telling him, "don't do it."
So, Putin needs his threat of nuclear war to seem real, but if he ever actually starts throwing his nukes around, it will not end well for Russia as a country, and Russians as a people.
That is Vlad's problem now.
It's one reason why he wants to make the Ukraine war about much more than just a few square miles in the Donbas.
Naw... no confusion.
Russia is what's left of the Old Soviet Empire.
Old Soviet KGB Lt.Col. Vladimir Putin is today's Stalin.
In 2005 Ex-KGB agent Putin said, "The breakup of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical tragedy of the 20th century."
Here is Vlad the Invader following in the footsteps of his ancestors:
Russian threats to neighbors since 1991:
Vladimir’s outlook makes me sad.
I don’t hate him. I think he’s shortsighted, but perhaps that has to do with how I was brought up.
I was baptized Greek Orthodox but raised Roman Catholic. My mother came to the US from Sparta (Greece) in the 50’s. But I went to Catholic school from first grade right through graduating college. I can honestly say that I span two worlds — the Western Church and the Eastern Church.
I revere many people, but possibly the one individual who gives me the most visceral response would be Emperor Constantine, who made Almighty God the sole God of the Empire—both West and East—and cemented Christianity from Britain to the Black Sea. To say that I’m keenly aware that there are two of God’s Churches—West and East—tasked with shepherding us all would be an understatement. I consider both vital.
Vladimir might be concerned with the worst fall of the 20th Century, but for me, the worst overall was the Fall of Constantinople and the Eastern Empire—and its influence over millions of Christians. Christendom has been under constant assault since the seventh century, but 29 May 1453 was perhaps the blackest part of its history and for me the most keenly felt.
When I see Putin talk about the fall of the Soviet Union it saddens me. That’s as far back as he can look? I might have have hoped the leader of the country containing the Russian Orthodox Church would have a longer view of history. I suppose, though, given the history of the Soviet Union, a reverence for God would have been too much to expect. The Soviets did, after all, expend a great deal of effort attacking Him.
Perhaps someday there might be a Russian leader who has a longer view not only of history, but of civilization itself, and the role of God within. Perhaps the Eastern Church, so long quiescent in the world, will become prominent once again on the world stage. Perhaps even the Hagia Sophia will become a Christian church again. But, sadly, today is not that day, and today’s leaders are not those to bring that about.
But times, leaders, and Patriarchs change. And there’s nothing stopping us from demanding something change with them.
THE RUSHANS ARE LEWZING MEME!
That is a very important quote by putin and the crux of his actions.
He very much lamented the fall of the Soviet Union and the power that it held.
What started as an operation to reclaim some of that power has instead turned into an existential threat not to Russia, though it may well happen as control over eastern federation areas weaken), but to putin himself.
Russians have shown great ability to suffer, but loses on the battlefield are not equally accepted.
Approaching 1 million lost and little to show for it will strain even the “famous” Russian mir.
Nuclear war is the worst outcome, but what is the worst outcome to putin?
In the end hitler said the hell with the German people they had failed HIM.
Is that poseur Kamala Harris dressed in white as the central figure?
She has been imitating this poster in her public appearances.
I suppose if she bonked Willie Brown, she would also bonk Stalin if she could.
Couldn’t agree more
