Did they even bother to issue a declaration of justification founded in the laws of war?
____________________________________________
They objected vociferously under the 2 Minsk treaties and at the UN.
NATO started this. NATO supplies the javelins. NATO tells Zelensky not to negotiate.
Ukraine & the Atlanticists attempted to bring war crime charges at the UN. It did not get past the General Assembly. So, they have continued the charade, the latest being the “Mass grave with nooses” that Reuters had to withdraw.
The real existential threat is the one facing the West. Russia begins tribunals next month and when those results are brought before the UN, the fallout may shock the world.
Ukraine mines the Black Sea lanes. Turkey guarantees the grain transports and (shock) the majority goes to the EU.
Now we have Pelosi *defending* Armenia. We can expect her in Moldava shortly. Hungary is threatened with expulsion from the EU, so there will be some sort of contrived uprising there. Serbia rejects LBQXYZ, so we can watch and see who foments what there.
There are plenty of saints in the Orthodox Canon. I doubt any real icons will be painted to St. Javelin. But then, as a folk saint, it is just like those votary candles painted with St. Fauchi, isn’t it?
All of this is contrived to destroy as many people as possible all over the globe so the small groups of self-anointed can rebuild in their own image. That means a digital Panopticon for the survivors and you are not exempt.
Yes, the legality is precisely the same as when we attacked Serbia and currently in Syria. LPR and DPR declared independence after 8 years of Uke attacks. Russia recognized them and responded to their request for military assistance.
They are in line with UN procedures. When we attacked Syria, Libya and Serbia e we decided NATO approval was all we needed. That’s not in line with international law.
Wieniehead, yes it’s blasphemy. The creator claims it’s the Virgin Mary, with a rocket. Stick it in your own azz.
More like Blastphemy.
“It’s just a folk saint” Oh like saint muerte? The blasphemous saint of the cartels?
Folk saints are blasphemous. Like pachemama
St. Barbara being adopted as a patroness by artillery units and cannoneers is a separate matter, given that she was a Roman lady of antiquity whose martyrdom had nothing to do with warfare or combat.
St. John Capistrano was ordered by Pope Callixtus III to preach a Crusade against the Turks to the various kingdoms of Christendom. The threat to Catholic Europe by the infidel Ottomans after the fall of Constantinople was categorically different from the current conflict.
St. James would have had a difficult time defeating Moors given that he was long dead by the time they came around. The origin of this iconography is historically dubious: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_James_Matamoros
But no matter who you cite in terms of saints (whether they be soldiers that were martyred or holy warriors who participated in Crusades against heretics or infidels that threatened Christian territories specifically), they were all *people*.
Not an anthropomorphic personification of a javelin missile launcher in a conflict that is between two (ostensibly) Christian nations, where the design is a blatant tipoff of the Virgin Mary’s iconography.
> Folk saints are blasphemous. Like pachemama
yeah, I don’t see the pope praising St Javelin, so thankfully the blasphemy is not. canonized.
St Javelin is an ironic folk saint, not an iconic one. When the time comes to ask for a blessing you’ll actually be saying “Hail Mary...”
> No actual saint is mocked - and that is on its own not a very grave matter. One could say they were having fun with the idea of saintly patronage, but that is mere custom.
good point. It’s ironic, not iconic.
