Russia has one of the world’s highest divorce rates — 60% higher than the United States’.
Its abortion rate is more than twice that of Ukraine’s.
Barely 1% of the population attended Christmas services last year.
And at the center of it all sits the Russian Orthodox Church, less a religious institution than a state-security affiliate.
When Tucker Carlson mourned the fate of Ukraine’s Moscow Patriarchate, he left out two crucial details.
First, it is Russia — not Ukraine — that has damaged or destroyed more than 600 houses of worship since 2014.
And second, Ukraine isn’t banning religion; it’s evicting spies. In the middle of a war, who can blame Kyiv for trying to ensure priests are serving God, not the FSB?
The collective West accounts for roughly half of global gross domestic product. Russia makes up less than 2%. It’s no superpower — just a declining empire throwing a tantrum.

We or I am talking about recent like WW2 to today. I am not concerned what England, France, or the US did prior to that.
Tell your momz to tell you to tell Tucker to tell The Putin to tell Melania to tell Trump to tell Khamenei to tell Netanyahu to tell Macron to tell Starmer to tell Kaja Kallas to tell Friedrich Merz to tell Lukashenko to tell Ursula von der Leyen to tell Little Zee to surrender.

So many allegedly conservative Americans - even FReepers, for cryin' out loud - forget this simple fact:
Two - count 'em: TWO - nuclear powers are attacking and invading a peaceful European country.One of those two countries is our historic enemy, Russia (the successor-state - both de facto and, now, "in spirit" - of the late, unlamented Soviet Union). No other enemy has as many nuclear-tipped missiles aimed at America's heartland. Since WWII, no other country has invaded and annexed so many different countries.
The other one of those two countries, North Korea, is one whose dictator-for-life has repeatedly called for nuking America.
And they are receiving military assistance from Iran - a state whose leaders likewise revile America.
Is there any need to debate on whose side we should be?
(I'm not really addressing this comment to you, ansel12 - you're one of the "good guys" here!)

You forgot Hitler!
“Great article. Putin’s armchair fan club would be wise to open their minds and consider the many facts presented. Putin’s Russia is corrupt, fake and Potemkin.”
That’s great. Then Ukraine doesn’t need any more help from us.
