You are calling Putin a Pedo? Yikes. Brave of you. watch your sushi and doorknobs.
So let me guess. You grew up during the cold war and you think Russia yearns for the days of the hegemony of the USSR?
You may be right but they yearn for a new hegemony. The fact they have an economy smaller than that of Italy may be a teensy tiny itty bitty little problem for their plans.
You still see the USSR where in truth they are just a well armed Italy.
Are they good guys? No. Is your analogy moronic and child like? Yes.
It doesn't change the facts, or your position that intent does not matter.
Clearly my analogy has rubbed you the wrong way...perhaps because it illustrates the naked dangers of ignoring intent.
Now I can get behind the concern about the attack which Christendom is under. I also get that allies in this seige are not numerous.
I also get that you can't always get what you want, and we were allied with the Soviets in WWII. You sometimes find yourself with strange bedfellows.
All that said, Putin's character AND lack of personal Christian behavior all argues for questionable intent - I'll take a pass on his "help." Thanks for listening.
