Massive missile attack is Putin's answer to illusory "Christmas truce" talks
ESPRESO ^

Posted on 12/25/2024 6:55:45 AM PST by USA-FRANCE

"Another massive Russian strike against Ukraine’s energy system. This Christmas terror is Putin’s response to those who spoke about illusionary 'Christmas ceasefire,'" Sybiha commented. For context, on December 11, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban proposed a Christmas truce and a large-scale prisoner exchange between Ukraine and Russia.

"Tormented Ukraine continues to be struck by attacks against the city, which at times damage schools, hospitals, and churches. May the weapons be silenced and Christmas carols resound! Let us pray for a ceasefire on all war fronts, in Ukraine, the Holy Land, in all the Middle East and the entire world, at Christmas," the Pope urged.

As most of the time, Putin specifically targeted Ukrainian families trying to celebrate a highly Christian moment together, as Russian missiles rained down on civilian apartments and infrastructure.

Putin is behaving like the Antichrist.

Why is he targeting specifically civilians rather than military targets...? Well, antichrist does what antichrist is supposed to do.

Putin agreed to a Christmas truce - Ukraine rejected it.

Of course, the biggest problem is the lack of agreement as to when Christmas is. Russia and a chunk of Ukraine go for January 7, the rest of Ukraine including the part taken from Poland go for December 25. Ukes also rejected a cease fire last year.

Plus, 3 years ago, Christmas wasn’t on Dec. 25th in Ukraine, but rather in January. Then Zelensky demolished their Orthodox religion (likely at the orders of the Neocons).

“Why is he targeting specifically civilians rather than military targets...? “

Gee, that sure is a good question. I recall the massive carpet bombing the US and UK did to Germany in WWII only hit military targets and left all the civilian buildings untouched.

I recall the A bombs on Japan were very selective, in that only the Japanese military facilities were hit.

And the communists in various wars and country take overs never harm civilians or execute a single innocent person.

In case you haven’t figured it out yet, the above comments were sarcastic.

For crying out loud man, get a grip. WAR IS HELL. It’s supposed to be. Take your Antichrist propaganda and stuff it.

I can’t wait for Trump to get in power and end all this madness.

Didn’t THE Ukraine change their normal day of celebrating Christmas to the western day of December 25th as opposed to when the Russian church celebrates on Jan 7?
And wasn’t changing the date of Christmas intended to be a big middle finger to Putin?

Monsters like Putin aren’t interested in Peace, just more War

He started the Ukraine War from nothing, and he keeps it going

Wrong.

No one called Zelensky to offer any ceasefire. Which proves all that supposed “ceasefire-talk” by Orban to Putin was just another non-serious clown show. A scam.

This madness will end when Trump takes office.
But Z-Man won’t like the terms.
Neither will Z-Man’s NAZI solders.
The Grift will end.
And Z-Man will either be hunted down by
his NAZI solders or will take his pallets
of American Cash and flee to a warmer Country.

Russian Orthodox Christmas is Jan 7th. Has been for centuries. Zelensky abolished Orthodox Christmas in Ukraine and declared Christmas will be in line with Western Christmas, Dec 25th. Dictators do that.

“ Ukraine moves Christmas to December 25, distancing itself from Russian tradition…
….Ukraine has passed legislation moving its official Christmas holiday to December 25, further distancing itself from the traditions of the Putin-aligned Russian Orthodox Church, which celebrates the holiday on January 7.…”

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/29/europe/ukraine-christmas-date-change-intl/index.html

Of course, most Ukrainians will still observe Christmas Jan 7th, no matter what the dictator St Z says. When he is gone, they will officially go back to Jan 7th.

NAZI solders or will take his pallets of American Cash and flee to a warmer Country, if he survives.

He'll be the most hunted man since Adolf Eichmann, if he survives that is.

If the birth of Christ is the start of the calendar, shouldn't it be celebrated in January 1st?

“ Moscow should be bombed. See how the Russkies like it.”

Bombing Moscow would only hurt average Russians who have little to nothing to do with the war. Putin also couldn’t care less about dead Russians. Have to remember Putin does not represent the Russian people. He is not a democratically elected leader.

In modern warfare destroying the infrastructure of the enemy is fair game. If you read the article it said he targeted electrical generation facilities, the sinews of war.

In this case it’s the theory that Christ came at the time when darkness was longest i.e. the Winter solstice. In truth no one is exactly sure what day Christ was born on.
