Russia, under Putin, has reduced abortion by 75%,

I just took a look, and while the abortion rate is a little lower, it looks like it's dropped maybe 10 or 20% at the most.

Like China, Russia is concerned about their demographics. They STILL have the highest abortion rate in the world though, except maybe China during their one child policy.

There are many who would prefer a dictatorship they agreed with rather than an elected government that they hated.

Even here, in the US... I think there are people who would rather have a ‘righteous’ king or dictator than a democratically elected government run by those they consider sinful and immoral.

” Globalism and the “liberal world order” is the biggest threat to the world and this country.”

That maybe true but Russia is the biggest military threat and knocking it down to size and ending its super power status is of paramount importance and we now have a present opportunity to do that.

China and Russia have their own list of hegemonic actions over the centuries.

There's more than that. The Putinist is not concerned with genuine Christianity. They put on the clothes of religion, but at the heart of it, they want a dictator to murder all the people they want dead, who they feel resentment against.

Hey dummy, the WEF is not a conspiracy theory. It is a real entity run by billionaires that want to turn the bulk of humanity into cattle.

China is the much greater threat. To pretend otherwise is to either be an idiot or a lying scumbag.

“ Are you actually taking China’s position on all these conflicts?”

Of course they are.

It’s old fashioned agit-prop.

Comes from the sales places, Peking and Moscow too.

United Front.

The fate of the world depends on God, and He alone. It’s all in the Bible.

Russia is the Russian Orthodox Church, and in this sense its pastors are "on the front line today."

Russian women worried about their sons dying in Ukraine should have more babies, influential Orthodox priest says

An influential Orthodox priest said that Russian women worried about their sons dying in Ukraine should have more babies. 

In an interview with the Russian TV channel Spas on Wednesday, Mikhail Vasilyev was asked whether he sympathizes with mothers whose sons were recently mobilized to fight in the war in Ukraine.

"I understand very well that God has allowed every woman — in most cases — to have many children," Vasilyev said.

"And if a woman fulfills this God's commandment to procreate, it usually means that she will have more than one child, in most cases," he added. "Consequently, it will not be as painful and as terrifying for her to part with her child."

Vasilyev is the leader of the Church of Great Martyr Barbara in Rostov Oblast, Russia's sixth most populous federal region.

Russian Church Seeks to Ban Blessings of Weapons of Mass Destruction

The Russian Orthodox Church seeks to stop the practice of blessing weapons of mass destruction under rules that could be approved later this summer, a senior church official has said.

Over the years, Russian priests have been called to bless everything from tanks and missiles to cats and metro cars.

My post to you was in response to this post of yours.

“Breaking into your neighbors home is not very civilized.”

By those standards I guess the United States is not very civilized.

Americans need to educate themselves about the reality of our excessive kinetic involvement globally.

Getting up on our sanctimonious high horse over Russia trying to protect attacked Russians in Ukraine and concerned about their national security from a superpower whose stated and printed goals are to “weaken, destabilize and create regime change” in Russia really takes some chutzpah.

People can go on deluding themselves that we are the “good guys,” but we aren’t anymore and most of the world knows that which is why the interest in and the trend toward multipolarity is soaring. We are going to have to adjust to that reality. And the world and the American people will be better off for it.

China is an economic threat, not a military one except to Vietnam, India and the Republic of China. I put the RoC last as they have adequate defences on their own to repulse the PRC.

The existential threat is Islam.

Your standards are pure communist standards. You even view the United States fighting the DPRK and the CCP in Korea as the villain. There is no helping you. And it's not just you, but I've seen more than one Putinist on this forum even making the USA the villain in the Korean war and pretending we're the world wide menace.

You are totally and completely brainwashed. Lost. Damned. Worth nothing whatsoever to anyone, because you're an anti-American traitor who has embraced the propaganda of the worst terror regimes in the world.

What a sick church. The russian orthodox church is part of the state for all intent and purposes. Founding fathers were wise for seperation of church and state.
