And just a second ago you just morally equated Ukraine and the United States with Russia. This is very "black and white." No, you are not complex, you are very simple to understand.
The revival of the Orthodox faith is meaningless if killing those of other faiths becomes the norm, as some reports from occupied Ukraine are saying
There was just a comment at another FR post regarding the murder of western influenced Evangelicals in the Ukraine by the Orthodox powers.
The reality is that all the churches have weak and prone to failure human beings as members and that even includes the Bible-based churches, like it or not.
Yes criminal organizations are trafficking these women and girls, lead by the Russian govt/mob including into the US.
The US govt is not a human trafficking organization, the Russian govt is.
Other churches are not criminal genocidal organizations from which satan spreads his evil and death, like ROC.
The list of Christ led activities of the ROC is zero, it is evil through and through, and this is why Putin worships within it’s halls.
No wonder then the ROC does not want to deal with talks with Rome then. Now I get it.
Thanks. More here .
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. (Ephesians 5:13)

Yep, you know they are plotting terrorist acts at ROC churches in Michigan. There are weapons stored and church-goers are preached to hate freedom and all things American.
I have seen this movie too.
Original Clancy’s novel had it other way of course, but we all know that movies must go for realism in the first place so nothing is wrong with it... /s
I don't know if they're plotting terrorist attacks in Michigan, but the Russkies are certainly plotting them in the Kremlin, with the backing of their KGB-terrorist supporting priests.
What I find hypocritical is that one, two or three, commenting on here do ordinarily adhere to Christian church of any kind in principle or practice - only in meaningless words. I call them hypocrites. Once meaningless, ALWAYS meaningless.
Always the Kremlin tool aren’t you?
I paid plenty of bribes when I went to Ukraine to get married. No matter that I followed the instructions to the letter, I would always be missing some important document or signature, a situation that could be quickly remedied for a small "gift".
I'm still paying bribes from America. I paid a bribe to get a job for my brother in law. Cheaper than continuing to send him money. That's how the place works.
Exactly...'everyones' on the take from the top to the bottom..and they get it too! And it's not even hidden it's "understood"
While it pains me to admit, it's almost efficient. As they say, time is money, and sometimes when you need something done, it's quicker and easier to just grease a few palms and make it happen.
Unfortunately true. Mainly due to Russia spreading their syphilis over there for so long.
Oh another lets blame Russia for people sleeping around...LOLOLOL...
Ukraine does very well without Russia’s help in respect to drugs and sexual diseases.
Check out Odessa one of the principal hubs of the international sex trade. Blighted by police corruption and organised crime, the city has become a marketplace where women are bought, sold, deceived, abused, and in many cases trafficked to a hellish life abroad.
Here’s the thing about the Ukrainian sex industry it is unregulated ....An extensive 2008 study that looked at sex workers’ lifestyles in Ukraine noted that 39% of Ukrainian sex workers do not use condoms regularly, and that 22% of them are also drug users. Most sex workers who do not use condoms report that they are pressured to do so by their clients.
The Ukrainian Institute of Social Studies estimates that 50,000 women engaged in commercial sex work in Ukraine last year. The actual number probably is much higher, considering the fact that there are many women who will also turn a so-called trick on the side, as a way of supplementing a low income. The same institute estimates that every sixth Ukrainian sex-worker is a minor.
By syphilis I didn't mean literally spreading sexual diseas... but being under influence/control of Russia... and their overall... “culture”...
Just look at ex-commie countries that turned to west after the cold war and those that stayed under Russian influence, including Ukraine... there's the difference...
Well there really isn’t much difference between those in Ukriane and those in Russia as I see it....the people basically have the same abused past history and have great difficulty handling “freedom” because they tend to be a dependent people and therefore adjusting, taking respossibility for their own affairs is something foreign to them. They’re govenment dependent.....BTW we’re becoming this as well if things continue.
“We are a lot closer to a corrupt, crony-capitalist authoritarian state than some would like to believe.”

Off hand I can’t think of a reason to say we are not already exactly that. Corruption if obvious and rampant, crony capitalism is built into our whole legal system and it has been estimated that the average citizen in the USA commits three felonies against federal law every DAY without even knowing it. It is not even remotely possible to be a law-abiding citizen in this country no matter how hard you may try. Anyone who thinks he can do it is simply not paying attention.
