> Blasphemy is hip i guess.

It’s just a folk saint. If you were an infantryman facing a squad of tanks hellbent on shredding you and pulping your remains into pink mud you’d be praying for the intervention of St. Javelin of ATGM too…tutting is rather presumptuous…

People who make a point of oppressing civilian populations with armor don’t exactly stand on a pedestal of righteousness…IMHO Russians eschewed the high ground when they invaded and knowingly attacked civilians. Did they even bother to issue a declaration of justification founded in the laws of war?

Maybe it’s because it allow a “Hail Mary” pass against a tank.

____________________________________________
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.

“It’s just a folk saint” Oh like saint muerte? The blasphemous saint of the cartels?

Folk saints are blasphemous. Like pachemama
