Not me... I’m too old and my feet hurt. Let’s find someone else...
Yeah, it's a "Christian nation" where evangelism is outlawed...
That’s not my experience. Only Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, and other cults.
Wow - Have not seen your latest BS Posts in a few days - was getting worried you went back to the Ukraine to fight for George Washington Zelensky
Is it not embarrassing to admit that you need help from North Korea to help win a war?
Daily Propaganda
They can't think that far forward.
It’s not like our tanks are going to roll into downtown Moscow and occupy the country.
“was getting worried “
What a sweet thought.
“...all you are hearing in the Western mainstream media about the course of the conflict is the most absurd Baghdad Bob level propaganda imaginable...”
‘Russian Operations in Ukraine (August 4, 2022): featuring Mark Sleboda’

And the peddlers of such ‘Baghdad Bob level propaganda’ should be utterly ashamed of themselves. But they are not cause they keep peddling it. Day of reckoning fast approaching. Bet.
“Color Revolution in Ukraine in 2014”
The Ukrainian Presidential history implied is incorrect. The accuracy of events and persons is extremely important.
This invasion of Ukraine was entirely PUTIN’S decision.
The sovereign nation of Ukraine had chosen to join NATO.
PUTIN WAS ENRAGED! How dare Ukraine attempt to dissolve his dreams to restore the Russian empire.
In the first round of voting held on 31 October 2004, Yanukovych took second place with 39.3 percent of the votes to opposition leader Viktor Yuschenko with 39.8 percent. Because no candidate passed the 50% threshold, a second round of voting.
YANUKOVVCH was initially declared the winner. However, the legitimacy of the election was questioned by many Ukrainians, international organizations, and foreign governments with allegations of electoral fraud.
These WIDESPREAD PROTESTS are known as the Orange Revolution. This second round of the election was subsequently annulled by the Supreme Court of Ukraine, and in the repeated run-off, Yanukovych lost to Yushchenko with 44.2 % to Yushchenko’s 51.9 %. In DECEMBER 2004-2010, YANUKOVVCH HIRED AMERICAN POLITICAL CONSULTANT PAUL MANAFORT AS AN ADVISER. MANAFORT WAS TO REHABILITATE YANUKOVVCH POLITICAL CAREER AFTER THE ORANGE REVOLUTION.
In 2006, a criminal charge was made for the falsification of documents regarding the retraction of Yanukovych’s prior conviction. Two documents had been forged regarding Yanukovych’s robbery in association with rape and assault and battery. Yanukovych had been a member of “a group of individuals who brutally beat and raped a woman, but bought off the victim and the criminal case was closed.” The signature of the judge for these documents was forged.
On 11 December 2009, Yanukovych called for his supporters to go to Maidan Nezalezhnosti, Kyiv’s Independence Square, in case of election fraud. Early vote returns from the first round of the election held on 17 January showed Yanukovych in first place with 35.8% of the vote. He faced a 7 February 2010 runoff against Tymoshenko, & Yanukovych won the runoff election with 48.95% of the vote compared with 45.47% for Tymoshenko.
Yanukovych said, “Ukraine’s integration with the EU REMAINS our strategic aim”, with a “balanced policy, which will protect our national interests both on our eastern border – I mean with Russia – and of course with the European Union”
Yanukovych had an estimated net worth of $12 billion, and has been accused by Ukrainian officials of misappropriating funds from Ukraine’s treasury. Arseniy Yatsenyuk has claimed that treasury funds of up to $70 billion were transferred to foreign accounts during Yanukovych’s presidency. Authorities in Switzerland, Austria and Liechtenstein froze the assets of Yanukovych and his son Oleksander on 28 February 2014 pending a money laundering investigation.
***BTW, during the presidency of Viktor Yanukovych, at least 7000 Ukrainian companies were attacked by the oligarchic clan of Yanukovych (the so-called “Yanukovych Families”). This number includes both cases of the so-called Family entering the corporate rights of the firms they like by illegal methods, and “assaults” in order to obtain “tribute” – that is, commercial gain.
The victims of Yanukovych’s raider methods were offered to pay a regular “tribute” in the amount of 30–50% of the company’s profits – or to cede ownership of it. On the same day that parliament removed Yanukovych from office, it voted to authorize the release of his rival Yulia Tymoshenko from a prison hospital. She had been imprisoned since 2011, in what many saw as political payback by Yanukovych. Her release had been an unmet condition for Ukraine’s signing of a European Union trade pact.
Ukraine economy had suffered greatly because of Putin’s puppet President Viktor Yanukovych. The Euromaidan protests started because Ukrainian citizens demanded stronger integration with the European Union. The Euromaidan began as a small protest in Independence Square in the center of Kyiv on 21 November. THIS IS THE SAME DAY Yanukovych abruptly changed his mind for an Association Agreement with the European Union. Instead after receiving a LOAN from Putin, YANUKOVVCH decided to strengthen economic ties with Russia. [Hmmmm]
This started the protests and the occupation of Kyiv’s Independence Square, “Euromaidan” by proponents to align Ukraine toward the European Union. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine. In February 2014, the violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many deaths and injuries.
HOWEVER, the ‘Maidan’ oust pro-Russian leader and fall of the regime of President Viktor Yanukovych. On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition. Secretly however, he ran away from the capital in the middle of the night to go to Moscow. On 22 February 2014, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove YANUKOVVCH from his post and schedule new elections on the grounds that he “has restrained himself from performing his constitutional duties” and effectively resigned.
He was permanently removed from office in 2014, after a long series of protests of his rejection of his prior Ukrainian-European Association Agreement.
NOW, 20 February 2014 PUTIN invaded Ukraine. Putin’s desire was to salvage his lost influence in Ukraine. In April, encouraged by Russian troops & politicians pro-Russia separatist rebels began to seize territory in eastern Ukraine. Probably accidentally, during this time the Donbas rebels shot down Malaysian Airlines flight 17 on July 17, killing 298 people.
Fighting between the rebels and the Ukrainian military intensified, when these rebels started losing. In August, the Russian army NOW overtly invaded eastern Ukraine to support the rebels & take-over Crimea. However, this illegitament action resulting in a 2014 Crimean referendum was regarded as illegal internationally because the whole of Ukraine is required to vote with both options on the ballot to result in a separation from Ukraine.
Curiously, on 3 October 2014, several news agencies reported, Anton Gerashchenko, Viktor Yanukovych had been granted Russian citizenship by a “secret decree” of Vladimir Putin.
On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of president by the parliament. On 24 January 2019, he was sentenced in absentia to thirteen years’ imprisonment for high treason by a Ukrainian court.
THEN, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022. On 2 March, Ukrayinska Pravda reported that Ukrainian intelligence sources believed that Yanukovych was currently in Minsk, Belarus and that it was Russia’s intention to declare Yanukovych as President of Ukraine in the event of Russian forces gaining control of Kyiv.
In social polls conducted since his departure from office, Yanukovych is regarded as one of the worst presidents in Ukrainian history.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL THIS IS PRIOR TO THE ELECTION OF PRESIDENT ZELENSKY!
Russian forces never gained control over Kyiv since the Russian army abandoned its Kyiv offensive on 2 April 2022.
Yeah we have to disagree there.
Russia is not a Christian nation, and neither is the US.
There is no such thing as a “Christian Nation”. Christians in the Body of Christ are among all of the nations and we are called a “foolish nation”
Deuteronomy 32:21
They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
Romans 10:19
But I say, did Israel not know? First Moses says: “I will provoke you to jealousy by those who are not a nation, I will move you to anger by a foolish nation.”
I know, the haters are everywhere.
The attempt to get to the real truth always creates this confrontation with those types.
The fall of the Soviet Union under Boris Yeltson did not placate Dick Cheney and the neo-cons. They advocated complete dismemberment of Russia to insure it never reconstituted itself to once again become a world power. Cheney was in Ukraine in 2014 as his former underling Victoria Nuland was directing the new pro-Nato government.
Our own government would never tolerate such interference so nearby.
“The attempt to get to the real truth always creates this confrontation with those types.
I know, the haters are everywhere.’
I appreciate you encouragment. I would rather not think of some folk as ‘haters.’ Rather , just reacting out of embarrassment.
I’m reminded of Galatians 4:16: “Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?”
I remember when people here were smart enough to know what the Clintons and those like them were up to.
This place is a sad shell of its former self.
Do you not know the actual origin of this war or are you just making a pretense hoping I don’t know the background?
Do you not know the actual origin of this war or are you just making a pretense hoping I don’t know the background?Are you referring to when the Russians poisoned the opposition candidate? Or when they engaged in massive election fraud to keep him from being elected?
Or was it when they had their special forces remove their insignia, infiltrate into Crimea, take over key locations, then raise the Russian flag?
You cut the timeline so precisely that you expose that you know the real truth
and are deliberately lying about it
as people go, there’s you, and then way way above you is utterly worthless human garbage
and it is a complete disgrace to see something like you on FR, cheerleading for Hillary Clinton’s schemes like you’re getting paid from them
