Russian space war

Scholz finally grows a backbone/spine. Who can refute what he correctly said? Putin's invasion fails Just War criteria:

A War in today's world can only be justified based on two circumstances (1) someone invaded you and you fight back (2) you fight to defend someone whose country was invaded. This ground reality is why Ukraine's cause is justified, and Russia's invasion is unjustified.

No, we also have R2P, Responsibility to Protect. It first was articulated as the Clinton Doctrine cause supposedly Serbia was ethnic cleansing Kosovo or Albanian Muslims. The Obama regime dusted off the Clinton Doctrine and called it "R2P" to justify invading Libya and Syria. Samantha Power is credited with being the author of R2P.

DeSantis declares freedom over Faucism

And hilariously enough, the MSM doesn't want to legitimize the term Faucism so they spell it "Fauci-ism." It's worth noting that I created the article on the topic quite a while ago, and wow, it ranks in the first page of search results on Google! We all need to work on expanding, updating, and linking to the page.

This needs to be mentioned on MPR (the post can be concluded with something along the lines of, "For more information, see our article on Faucism"), and perhaps might be fitting for a "Conservapedia proven right"? Even better, post it on MPL! —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 08:42, June 4, 2023 (EDT)

Nice work, LT. Good idea and it'll surely help Conservapedia in search engine results etc.

But again, for me, "freedom over Faucism" is another example that shows De Santis really gets it. He's the best governor in America at the moment imo and it'll be just great if he wins the nomination and becomes Prez. in 2024. NishantXavierFor Christ the King

Exactly, boosting the Faucism article and ensuring its high ranking on search engines will be a boon for the wiki. And concurred, when it comes to battling Faucism, DeSantis gets it as opposed to Trump retaining Anthony S. Fascist's post during his presidency. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 11:17, June 4, 2023 (EDT)

Destruction of Nova Kakhovka dam

The economic impact of destruction of the dam will be felt not just on the population centers below the dam, which will be washed into the Black Sea (computer models say it will take about 3 days), but will also make the agricultural areas above the dam lose the ability to irrigate the land for farming. Expect another wave of refugees from all along the Dnieper.

This destruction of Soviet built infrastructure was done by Western investors and oligarchs (BlackRock) who want to buy up Ukraine for "Reconstruction" so they can loot the country of profits for Western shareholders. Not gonna happen.

IMO, the NATO geniuses who thought up this plan are trying to make the Dnieper the new boundary between the what's left of the Ukrainian rump state and the Russian Federation, and to keep Odessa so what remains of Ukraine still has a port city. That too is unlikely. The war has probably been extended another year or two.

Water usage rights and reconstructing a new dam on an international boundary requires a peace treaty. The Western powers, NATO, the EU, and the US are incapable (given the makeup of their current leadership) of negotiating a peace treaty. They sealed their fate. RobSGive Peace a chance 13:09, June 6, 2023 (EDT)

As the reservoirs empty, it will be more difficult for NATO/Ukraine to attack Crimea from Kherson, but north of the dam, as the land dries out, it will be a shorter distance to mount an attack on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. RobSGive Peace a chance 15:31, June 6, 2023 (EDT)

With the breach of the dam, we now understand what Nazisymp Lindsey Graham meant by Ukraine's counteroffensive being "impressive". [4] Big Serge refutes Nazisymp Peter Zeihan: [5]
One of Russia’s primary motivations for launching this war in the first place was precisely to secure the Crimean Canal, which Ukraine had dammed up in order to choke off the peninsula’s water supply. Any analysis of the issue needs to aknowledge that, if you believe Russia blew the dam, you are essentially saying that they voluntarily trashed one of their primary war aims....
The only way to spin all this (and there are some people, like Peter Zeihan, trying to spin it this way) as being in Russian interests is to argue that Russia expects to lose control of all this territory (including Crimea) and is going scorched earth in anticipation of defeat. But to believe this, you need to believe that Russia is badly losing the war and is on the verge of total defeat, and if you believe this I have nothing to say to you except to direct you to this link.

Hmm, you might have a point; according to the ADL on the subject, some ranks among the overt neo-Nazis are Ukrofascist sympathizers. I've noticed that fringe white supremacists aren't at all unified on the NATO–Putin War though, as the standard "alt-right" types like Fuentes, Duke, etc. think that the Zelensky Regime is a "Jewish conspiracy," which is pathetically ludicrous. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Wednesday, 19:06, June 7, 2023 (EDT)
To be honest, there are many the world over, including Russia, who believe the Zelensky Jewish conspiracy thing. But neither Putin himself, nor the government of the Russian Federation promote it, which should give you pause to think about some of the propaganda being fed to you about Putin and Russia from the West. RobSGive Peace a chance 19:51, June 7, 2023 (EDT)
Fine, I partially see your point. The Zelensky–Jewish fallacy is a coin with two sides: one side, shilling for the Ukrofascist regime, emphasizes Zelensky's ethnic Jewish heritage as as "proof" that he isn't a Nazi, while the other side emphasizes his Jewish background as "proof" that he's part of a larger "Jewish conspiracy." —LT (Matthew 26:52) Thursday, 20:14, June 7, 2023 (EDT)

Don't confuse two different fights at the same time. Just like it was necessary and righteous to fight both the Commies and Nazis - even if it had not been practically possible for Churchill and FDR to do so at the same time - so it is necessary to fight both neo-Communism in the form of resurgent neo-Stalinist persecution of Ukrainians, and also the woke agenda of genital mutilation called LGBT. That's another story for another time, but even this Woke Agenda comes from Communism, this time from Communist Chinese Dictator Mao. This Chinese-American can fill you in on more from first-hand experience if you're interested: "I am deeply thankful. Today 35 yr ago, my dream came true. I was granted a student visa to come to USA. I no longer feel this is the America that I arrived in. She has been under attack by Marxism/Communism that I thought I had escaped from.

DeSantis said "a lot of other places" would "just fold the minute there's any type of adversity."

Mt. Rushmore racism

Here's the thing... the sculptor behind Mt. Rushmore was a Ku Klux Klan member. Borglum also wrote for the progressive magazine The Searchlight, where he ranted of "Harding's Challenge of Democracy," denouncing "reactionary" conservative politicians praising a number of "fighting liberals" with left-wing voting records. Fascinating Politics covers it well.

See, in these instances, when modern-day "progressives" cry of historical systemic racism, they know that most right-wingers, ignorant of these history details, will merely dismiss reality in their antiwoke activism. The right approach is to beat the neo-Marxists at their own game. Instead of defending [etc. etc.] from the reality of historical systemic racism, point out that the racism was created by past leftists. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Wednesday, 16:06, June 7, 2023 (EDT)

Yes, absolutely shameful. Trump lost at least 10 points imo with Conservatives who loved what De Santis did in Florida against dictatorial Covid lockdowns by attacking De Santis.

Exactly, DeSantis fought the lockdowns while Trump did nothing to stop the violations of freedom; of course, now some people are saying "but DeSantis praised Fauci in the spring of 2020!!" Well, DeSantis learned from his mistake while Trump didn't. I suppose Trump's inept advisers are partly at fault here, though the refusal of Trump himself to fight socialism is concerning. The very fact that he's running to the left of GOP rivals on Socialist Security demonstrates his socialist credentials loud and clear.

This is why, for instance, private trade unions are banned after a socialist regime takes power, as was the case in Leninist Russia and Nazi Germany. The existence of private trade unions and their strikes that could follow would disprove the concept of the state being for the people, and thus they were absorbed into the state public trade union or banned, because the state intended on insisting that it was serving the people, IOWs democracy. Communism, fascism, and Nazism, much like the insurgent Progressive Movement of the early 20th century, are the resulting consequences, not antithesis, of democracy. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Wednesday, 19:27, June 7, 2023 (EDT)

The words "liberal", "progressive", "conservative", and "populist" do not mean the same thing they meant 100-120 years ago. Using an historian from 50-60 years ago commenting on that earlier period may or may not be illuminating, and you would need to understand how those same words or concepts were received and used at the time of his writing, as well. You too often are attempting to fit a round peg into a square hole. All these concepts, or movements, are organic to the period people identified as such, or used the terms, and are not eternal abiding truths in their meaning.
For example, the term "liberal" was not the dirty word at all that it is today in the period from 1900-1920. Most Americans at that time - whatever their political ideology or affiliation, would have proudly described themselves as "liberal" in their thought and outlook, irrespective of party. The term "liberal" had a meaning, while not a direct analogy, but something like how the de-politicized term "rational" is used today by people of whatever political stripe, to denote clear thinking, semi-educated, moderate, unbiased from extremes, etc. It became corrupted later.

Reminder: Donald Trump (Donald Duck) increased the debt by 8 Trillion dollars after promising to END it in two terms

Yeah, everyone knows how that worked out. Debt was around $19 Trillion. Trump increased it by 8 trillion.

April 2016: "Donald Trump predicts he could rid the United States of its $19 trillion debt in two terms as president.

Eliminating the national debt, which Trump said he could accomplish “over a period of eight years,” was one of several ambitious claims Trump made in an interview with The Washington Post published on Saturday." https://edition.cnn.com/2016/04/02/politics/donald-trump-national-debt/index.html

And now: "One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt.

The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country."

https://www.propublica.org/article/national-debt-trump Meanwhile, Florida has a record budget SURPLUS:

Nishant, seriously, I believe you should read this scholarly research paper for some background on the Ukraine conflict. It's not that long, maybe 7-8 pages, and well cited. Babi Yar as a Symbol of Holocaust Distortion in Post-Maidan Ukraine.

First question: What is "Post-Maidan Ukraine?" Post-Maidan Ukraine is the period from 2014 to now following the US-financed, backed, and directed "Revolution of Dignity". RobSGive Peace a chance 14:35, June 8, 2023 (EDT)

Post-Maidan is not the issue. Russia's invasion of Ukraine, even the earlier one that began in 2014, blatantly and word-for-word denied its absolute and binding obligations under the Budapest Memorandum. Under that same contract, the UK and US - who made Ukraine give up its Nuclear Weapons to Russia, see below - are also bound to help Ukraine's self-defense if Russia invades Ukraine, as its now done.

Source: "Ukraine war: what is the Budapest Memorandum and why has Russia’s invasion torn it up? Protesters against Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 hold up a sign about the 1994 Budapest Memorandum Russia broke its 1994 pledge to respect Ukraine’s sovereignty in 2014 when it annexed Crimea. Now it’s in breach again. Lee Thomas/Alamy Live News The unfolding invasion of Ukraine will have far-reaching repercussions that extend way beyond a breach of international law and a violation of the country’s territorial integrity. As American international relations expert David Yost notes, Russia’s actions will weaken the credibility of major power security assurances, undermine the nuclear nonproliferation regime and dampen prospects for future disarmament.

Putin’s decision to invade is in direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum, a key instrument assuring Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. The memorandum was struck in 1994, following lengthy and complicated negotiations involving the then Russian president Boris Yeltsin, Ukrainian president Leonid Kuchma, US president Bill Clinton and the then British prime minister John Major.

Under the terms of the memorandum, Ukraine agreed to relinquish its nuclear arsenal – the world’s third-largest, inherited from the collapsed Soviet Union – and transfer all nuclear warheads to Russia for decommissioning. This enabled Ukraine to join the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) as a non-nuclear state.

The NPT is a legally-binding instrument that recognises only five countries as legitimate holders of nuclear weapons: China, France, Russia, the UK and the US. All other countries are banned from developing a nuclear arsenal and those that have, including India, Pakistan, Israel and North Korea, are not parties to the NPT.

In exchange for giving up its nuclear arsenal, Ukraine initially sought legally binding guarantees from the US that it would intervene should Ukraine’s sovereignty be breached. But when it became clear that the US was not willing to go that far, Ukraine agreed to somewhat weaker – but nevertheless significant – politically binding security assurances to respect its independence and sovereignty which guaranteed its existing borders. China and France subsequently extended similar assurances to Ukraine, but did not sign the Budapest Memorandum.

The Budapest Memorandum consists of a series of political assurances whereby the signatory states commit to “respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine”. But the meaning of the security assurances was deliberately left ambiguous. According to a former US diplomat who participated in the talks, Steven Pifer, it was understood that if there was a violation, there would be a response incumbent on the US and the UK. And while that response was not explicitly defined, Pifer notes that: “there is an obligation on the United States that flows from the Budapest Memorandum to provide assistance to Ukraine, and […] that would include lethal military assistance”.

Russia first broke its commitments under the Budapest Memorandum in 2014, with its annexation of Crimea and aggression in eastern Ukraine. The international response at the time was lacklustre – although the US and the UK did subsequently step up their efforts to strengthen Ukraine’s armed forces through training and provision of lethal defensive arms. At the time, a committee of the UK House of Lords noted that:

As one of the four signatories of the Budapest Memorandum (1994), which pledged to respect Ukraine’s territorial integrity, the UK had a particular responsibility when the crisis erupted. The government has not been as active or as visible on this issue as it could have been." https://theconversation.com/ukraine-war-what-is-the-budapest-memorandum-and-why-has-russias-invasion-torn-it-up-178184 NishantXavierFor Christ the King 23:02, June 8, 2023 (EDT)

Thomas Sowell: "There are no solutions - only tradeoffs". Russia vs. Ukraine. Trump vs. DeSantis

The Russian-born, British political commentator and comedian Konstantin Kisin said that the greatest insight that Thomas Sowell gave him about entrenched social/political problems was that "There were no solutions - only tradeoffs" (See: Thomas Sowell's greatest insight | Konstantin Kisin).

Given human frailty and the narcissistic age we live in there are no perfect political candidates. If you want to find faults in Trump, you can easily find them. If you want to find faults in Ron DeSantis, you can easily find them. And often in politics, it is a choice between the lesser of two evils. Granted, I would vote for Trump or DeSantis over Joe Biden because some political choices are far better because some people are far better than others. Nevertheless, there are no perfect political candidates. Also, Trump is the odds-on favorite of winning the GOP presidential primary.

Similarly, just like I am not a fan of Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union in WWII, I am not a big fan of Ukraine or modern-day Russia. Granted both Ukraine and Russia are better than Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union, but both are corrupt and authoritarian countries.

And given that: "war is hell"; both Russia face rapidly aging populations; and that Ukraine/Russia provide the world with food/fertilizer and Russia supplies a lot of energy in the world, I would like to see the war in Ukraine end ASAP. But I agree with John Mearsheimer that the war will likely be a long war of attrition. And given that Russia has a much bigger population, a huge stockpile of Soviet weapons and lots of oil/gas that the world wants, the odds favor Russia in this war. Nevertheless, barring the war ending in a stalemate, Russia winning this war has certain costs/benefits and Ukraine winning this war has certain costs/benefits because in this case, "There are no solutions - only tradeoffs".

Trump kept oil/gas prices down and he could be a tough negotiator/person to deal with plus he did try to have as peaceful relations with Russia as possible. As a result, Putin never invaded Ukraine during Trump's presidency. Both Trump or DeSantis would ramp up oil/gas production if elected which would make it harder for Putin to fund the war. In addition, both Trump and DeSantis are more "America first" than Biden when it comes to funding Ukraine. So I hope a GOP candidate wins the presidency in 2024. Right now, the political betting markets say there is a 50.3% chance that a Democrat will win the USA presidency in 2024 and there is a 49% chance that a GOP candidate will the USA presidency in 2024. Personally, I believe an upcoming recession will cause the GOP to win the presidency, but incumbents do have an advantage when running for the USA presidency.

Lastly, given that America has so many self-imposed problems, unfortunately, I am not going to put all my eggs in the USA basket. If things deteriorate a whole lot in the USA, I am keeping open the option of emigrating. But if the USA has huge problems, it will affect the whole world, so no country is going to be the perfect solution. Again, there are no perfect solutions - only tradeoffs.

"A World Health Organization study published in 2019 found that Russia had the third largest number of suicides. And a 2021 World Bank rating of political stability ranked Russia 146th, nestled between Mexico and Mauritania. More recent estimates are not available, but my guess is that they would be off the chart.

No wonder then that Russians are so unhappy: the 2021 Happiness Index placed the country 78th in the world, between silent Turkmenistan and protesting Hong Kong.

Perhaps much of this has contributed towards the country’s pathetic performance in population growth in recent years, which reflects fertility, health and migration. The country is currently 203rd, with negative growth, very close to the bottom of the list...

Since the late Soviet period, Russia has been a global leader in abortion rates. The Russian state, seemingly concerned by this, has long attempted to discourage abortions by various means, from a ban in the last years of Stalinism to Putin’s ‘maternal capital’ payments, designed to support and stimulate families.

From 1991 to 2015, the number of abortions in Russia decreased from 3.6 mln to 0.8 mln. However, no burst of fertility was achieved. The number of births per year slowly approached the number of terminations but exceeded it only in 2007. Russia was starting and ending its wars, but Russians were removing their embryos at the same rate at which they were dying of natural causes.

In 2020, the ratio of terminations per births in Russia – a country in which abortion is almost never talked about – was two times higher than in the US, where it has become a central political issue."[7]

Wrong. Economic power and soft power generally trumps military power - especially today where defenders employ fourth-generation warfare and asymmetric warfare. China hollowed out many USA cities/towns without firing a shot. "The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting." - Sun Tzu.

Economies need workers and unfortunately for China and Russia they have shrinking and greying populations.

For example, I will provide an example of "subduing the enemy without fighting". I pointed out how sexist and misogynist the atheist population was knowing it would cause division and infighting within the atheist movement (See: Atheism and women and Atheism and sexism and Richard Dawkins and women). Sure enough, Ms. Magazine's Monica Shores quotes Conservapedia about how most of the web traffic to Richard Dawkins' website was from men (See: Richard Dawkins and women). Before Elevatorgate occurred, which sparked the decline of the atheist movement, feminist rage within Western atheism was stoked sky-high. Of course, now I am using completely new strategies/tactics to accelerate desecularization. "Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances." - Sun Tzu. "In all fighting, the direct method may be used for joining battle, but indirect methods will be needed in order to secure victory. In battle, there are not more than two methods of attack – the direct and the indirect; yet these two in combination give rise to an endless series of maneuvers. The direct and the indirect lead on to each other in turn. It is like moving in a circle – you never come to an end. Who can exhaust the possibilities of their combination?" - Sun Tzu. Conservative (talk)

Where am I wrong? That your bloated defense spending to keep America the "leading power for the foreseeable future" does not add to the national debt? or that you are not a conservative when you bellyache about the national debt? Or maybe you really are a mean and cruel fascist who wants to throw grandma from the cliff cause you blame her Medicare spending for the national debt rather than bloated defense spending?

Whereas in America and much of the Free World, you can say anything you like about Trump or Biden etc. Russia needs a pro-democracy transition and I for one think Alexei Navalny would be a good person to do it. He's a political opponent being persecuted by Putin. It would also be good for Russia to ban abortion and stop its invasion, which could help improve its demographic problems Conservative mentioned. In fact, earlier on, some of the Bolsheviks and Communists in Russia, after they first introduced Abortion (which therefore comes from Communism; it's what we Pro-Lifers are fighting - Communism, even in the West) and then later saw that Abortion leads in time to huge demographic problems (something also true in much of the West today) then even they knew that, for purely utilitarian demographic reasons, unlimited abortion had to be at least slightly restricted.

Lol, Conservative, yeah, I did. Anyone they don't like is a "CIA Agent", though they have no proof of it. That Navalny returned to Russia because he loved her and loved its people, even though he could have had a free and happy life in Germany, shows he is a Russian Patriot.

"When Aleksei Navalny shocked his supporters and announced his return to Russia last January after recovering in Germany from a poisoning he blamed on the Kremlin, the opposition politician did so with a post to Instagram.

"I never questioned whether I should come back, simply because I never left," he wrote on January 13, 2021. "I ended up in Germany after landing in an intensive-care box, for one reason: they tried to kill me."

The news was received by his acolytes throughout Russia as the possible dawning of a new era in Russian politics, a moment when the anti-corruption crusader who had survived an assassination attempt came home to confront the man he accused of authorizing it: President Vladimir Putin.

His supporters took planes, trains, and cars to Moscow to greet him upon his slated arrival in the capital on January 17. They had been subjected for weeks to a relentless campaign of fines, police raids, and harassment, and many of them believed strength in numbers would keep both them and Navalny safe from the threats issued by officials intent on arresting him upon touchdown and also spark a national reckoning in a country devastated by the coronavirus pandemic and riven by anger over falling real wages and miserly government support."

Digression on CIA regime change operations in Russia

An understanding of history is helpful. Basically, the CIA are amateurs, and everything they know, or think they know, about espionage operations they learned from the KGB. (For example. immediately after WWII when the US government realized its wartime spy agency, the OSS, was shot through with KGB agents, it shut it down and created the CIA. Having no agents inside the USSR, and realizing the KGB had infiltrated the Manhattan project to steal the secrets of the atomic bomb, the CIA was dependent entirely upon the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN), run by former German military intelligence head Reinhard Gehlen, for intelligence inside the Soviet Union.

The CIA basically has never been successful in infiltrating anyone into the Soviet or Russian government (with the possible exception of during the Yeltsin years, after which Putin weeded them out (creating some animosity in the CIA against Putin. But note, the CIA still couldn't infiltrate covertly on their own - they had to be invited in by the Russian president).

So in the case of Navalny, the CIA thinks for the first time they can create a covert agent who rises to the level of an Alger Hiss or Harry Dexter White in the Russian government. They imagine themselves as good at the espionage game as the KGB was in the 1930s and 1940s. All these embarrassing intelligence failures by the United States government they learned the hard way at the hands of the expertise and success of the former KGB external intelligence service. They are pantomiming the KGB's success with Hiss by trying to infiltrate Navalny. It's a farce. How stupid do they think their teachers are? The student is not greater than the master. RobSGive Peace a chance 17:02, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

"The success of the British Commandos during World War II prompted U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt to authorize the creation of an intelligence service modeled after the British Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and Special Operations Executive. This led to the creation of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) established by a Presidential military order issued by President Roosevelt on June 13, 1942. On September 20, 1945, shortly after the end of World War II, Harry S. Truman signed an executive order dissolving the OSS, and by October 1945 its functions had been divided between the Departments of State and War. The division lasted only a few months. The first public mention of the "Central Intelligence Agency" appeared on a command-restructuring proposal presented by Jim Forrestal and Arthur Radford to the U.S. Senate Military Affairs Committee at the end of 1945. Army Intelligence agent Colonel Sidney Mashbir and Commander Ellis M. Zacharias worked together for four months at the direction of Fleet Admiral Joseph Ernest King, and prepared the first draft and implementing directives for the creation of what would become the Central Intelligence Agency. Despite opposition from the military establishment, the United States Department of State and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), Truman established the National Intelligence Authority in January 1946. Its operational extension was known as the Central Intelligence Group (CIG),[58] which was the direct predecessor of the CIA."[10]
The Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was founded during WWII.
It's a bit crazy that the USA didn't have an equivalent of the CIA before WWII. Spying is very important during war and WWI and previous wars had no equivalent to the OSS and CIA.

How compromised was the CIA from the beginning? The CIA was created in 1947. When it was initially being set up, i.e. assigning station chiefs throughout the world, Great Britain sent over their No.2 guy (and likely successor to head) its foreign intelligence outfit to assist - Kim Philby. You guessed it. Philby had been a KGB agent since 1927.
Then, in 1949 when Army cryptographers were extracting the names of KGB spies in the Manhattan Project from Soviet Venona Project decrypts which the USSR used to build its own atomic bomb, you guessed it again, a KGB agent was literally standing over the cryptographer's shoulder and watching.
This and other incidents, made the newly formed CIA as useless as a screen door on a submarine in foreign operations for about the first 17 years of its existence (except domestically for counterintelligence purposes, like whacking JFK, for instance). But you know how government works - once you create a new government agency, it has a life of its own and is impossible to destroy. None of these colossal failures, naivety, and amateurishness of American foreign intelligence came to light, and then only partially, until the mid 1970s (post-Vietnam; add the origins, conduct, and conclusion of the Vietnam war to the list of "intelligence failures") and later. Much still remains embarrassing and secret from scholars, historians, and the public. But the KGB well understood the naivety, amateurishness, and bungling incompetence (with a huge budget) of American foreign intelligence, which persists to this day.

I don't think one should jump to conclusions on whether high-ranking politicians are true to the Christian faith. Now yes, Biden obviously is a longtime despotic charlatan, though DeSantis may not prove to be a saint in the long-run, even if he seems to be an ideal conservative now.
When it comes to "antichrists," while it's easy to assume that the most obvious and blatant evil elements fit into the category best, history has demonstrated otherwise. The actual spirit of antichrist is highly deceptive and sneaky, denying the Christ Jesus not directly but subtly and slowly, i.e. undue blasphemies attempting to water down the horror of the crucifixion by likening it to comparably trivial events. It doesn't come through people blurting "Jesus wasn't real!" or "Jesus wasn't God!" because that would be too obvious. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Saturday, 21:13, June 9, 2023 (EDT)

"The end of Western naivety about China A new China debate pits optimists against fatalists

Among western democratic governments, this is a moment of unhappy clarity about China. Their bleak consensus follows years of naivety and wilful self-delusion about the nature of Xi Jinping’s regime. A changed mood—one of shared, durable gloom—was on display at the latest Stockholm China Forum. This is a gathering of American and European officials, scholars and business types that Chaguan has attended, on and off, since 2008 (Chinese diplomats and scholars attend some sessions).

The war in Ukraine hung over the latest forum, jointly hosted by Sweden’s foreign ministry and the German Marshall Fund, a think-tank. There was no happy talk about China being an ideal peace-broker, as some European leaders had suggested in the early months of the conflict. Instead, participants talked of Chinese envoys touring European capitals to recommend that Ukraine lay down its arms and sue for peace, while casting Vladimir Putin as a ruler acting in self-defence. One speaker called China’s “collusion” with Russia an “electroshock” for Western governments. China is expected to play a role in the conflict’s end-game and in post-war reconstruction, not least because Ukraine’s government wants Mr Xi at the table. But there was shared horror in Stockholm at any notion of China helping to design a future security architecture for Europe. That distrust is born of hearing Chinese officials blaming the nato defence alliance for war in Ukraine, and promoting a world order in which individual countries seek security via shifting, values-free calculations of their interests."

"How many Christians are there in China? There are around 96.7 million Christians in China – a huge number, but only seven per cent of China’s total population of more than 1.4 billion.

How are Christians persecuted in China? Tightening restrictions and increasing surveillance are putting Christians in China under intensifying pressure, as the Communist Party seeks to limits all threats to its power.

New restrictions on internet and social media – together with the 2018 regulations on religion, which includes a ban on under 18s attending church – are severely limiting Christian freedom.

Under the draconian measures introduced in March 2022, churches that want to share sermons or Bibles studies online require a permit – but this is only available to the five state-approved religious institutions, such as the Three Self Patriotic Movement. The restrictions extend to social media, meaning that mentioning anything connected with Christianity could get people into considerable trouble.

Given the surveillance used by the authorities – which is among the most oppressive and sophisticated in the world – Christians have little room for manoeuvre, both online and offline.

Foreign Policy: It's time to formalize an Alliance with India, Gov. Nikki Haley

I am of the opinion that Gov. Nikki Haley would be a Great VP for a Prez. De Santis.

"A U.S.-India alliance would allow both countries to expand their global strength.

By, Rep. Mike Waltz and Nikki Haley

October 25, 2021

In February, U.S. President Joe Biden declared, “diplomacy is back at the center of our foreign policy” and “we will repair our alliances and engage with the world once again.” Nine months into his presidency, the opposite has happened—and the United States’ adversaries are taking advantage of the situation.

Consider our allies: We witnessed ministers in the British Parliament publicly rebuke Biden in the aftermath of our disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. France recalled its ambassador in an extraordinary move. We’ve isolated our Eastern European allies by capitulating to Germany over the construction of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline.

Meanwhile, our adversaries are growing bolder, especially following the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal. An axis of terror is forming from Hamas to Iran to the Taliban. Pakistan has stepped up its engagement with Iran. China has increased its incursions into Taiwan’s air identification zone to record levels. Russia is increasing its influence in Belarus and further threatening Ukraine.

Is this really the best “diplomacy” and “engagement” the United States can muster? Of course not. Instead of insulting our friends and ignoring our foes, the United States should prioritize relationships that strengthen our standing in the world.

The place to start is India. It’s time to form an alliance.

As a nuclear power with more than 1 million troops, a growing navy, a top-tier space program, and a proven history of economic and military cooperation with the United States, India would make a strong ally. An alliance with India would allow both countries to maintain and expand their global strength. And together with Japan and Australia, it would enable the United States to form a real deterrent to potential terrorist threats in Afghanistan as well as counter China.

When the Biden administration unconditionally withdrew our military from Afghanistan, the United States ceded tremendous power to our adversaries in Central Asia. Many Americans will find relief in the idea that the United States has ended its longest war, yet the war on terror has not left us. The terrorists who launched attacks on us 20 years ago fully intend to strike us again.

Prior to our withdrawal, the Biden administration failed to secure basing agreements from countries neighboring Afghanistan to the north. Logistically, we need these bases to conduct counterterrorism missions. The administration also abandoned Bagram Airfield—the only U.S. base in a country that borders China, which is ratcheting up tensions with the rest of the world.

The Biden administration claims the United States retains “over-the-horizon” capabilities to strike terrorists. This is inaccurate. For example, should a U.S. military drone launch from a base in the Persian Gulf, it would consume much of its fuel just getting to Afghanistan, severely limiting our ability to identify and strike targets. With no U.S. bases left in the region, China, Iran, Russia, and even Pakistan will influence the future of these terrorist groups, with little reason to help the United States.

We now only have one partner who can effectively keep a watchful eye on Afghanistan. It’s the same partner that can keep track of China’s southern flank: India.

India operates Farkhor Air Base in Tajikistan, the only air base with the proximity to conduct counterterrorism strikes in Afghanistan. With an alliance, India could allow us access to strategic bases to protect U.S. interests in Afghanistan and the broader region.

A U.S.-India alliance would also give us an edge over China. Like the United States, India recognizes that China is a rapidly growing threat. Not only is it attempting to capitalize on our withdrawal from Afghanistan, which goes against both the United States and India’s interests, China is also pressuring India on its own borders.

Last year, Chinese and Indian troops clashed in the contested Himalayan border region of Ladakh, resulting in the deaths of 20 Indian soldiers and four Chinese soldiers, according to the Chinese government. India has since redirected 50,000 troops to its border with China for a total of 200,000 Indian troops now stationed there. Tensions have only escalated since then. In recent days, China has also reinforced its military presence along the Himalayan border with 100 advanced long-range rocket launchers.

A U.S.-India alliance would give China pause before further expanding into Central and Southern Asia. And we’d be building on solid ground. Just this month, the U.S. military held joint exercises with hundreds of Indian soldiers in Alaska to strengthen cooperation and better prepare for cold, mountainous conditions like those in the China-India border region.

An alliance would also recognize the region’s shifting geopolitical realities. China’s newly aggressive posture toward India is not by accident. It is part of a broader plan. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is emboldened after shoring up support from India’s longtime foe, Pakistan.

Following the same playbook it has used in developing countries around the world, the Chinese Communist Party has created dependence through its Belt and Road Initiative. In exchange for bolstering Pakistan’s faltering electric grid, sending thousands of doses of its COVID-19 vaccine, and giving financial relief to ease Pakistan’s growing national debt, China now has a regional client state willing to do the CCP’s bidding and help bolster its international standing.

The investment has paid important dividends for Beijing. Earlier this year, Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan—the leader of a nation with the world’s second largest Muslim population—refused to condemn China’s ongoing genocide of Muslim Uyghurs. Now, China hopes it can rely on Pakistan to help keep Islamist terrorism from spilling over Afghanistan’s border and into western China, where the CCP fears terrorists might find recruits in the mostly Muslim Uyghur province of Xinjiang.

Growing collusion between China and Pakistan poses serious security risks for both India and the United States. For India, a U.S. alliance would be a bulwark against a two-fronted conflict on its borders. For the United States, an alliance would help blunt Pakistan’s influence—a state sponsor of terrorism now propped up by Chinese investments—in Afghanistan. We need a new partner to prevent the creation of a terrorist super state that can attack our country again.

Beyond the security relationship, the United States and India also share economic concerns, including the need for a stable supply chain. India’s enormous workforce offers an opportunity for the United States to alter its supply chain dependence on China. We can rely on India as a major source of pharmaceuticals, technology, and critical minerals, supplementing our own domestic manufacturing capabilities. We should also continue working toward a more comprehensive U.S.-India trade deal.

Then there’s cyberwarfare. As the United States felt the pain of the Colonial Pipeline cyberattack by Russia-linked cybercriminals earlier this year, disrupting Americans’ gasoline supplies, a suspected Chinese state-sponsored group cyberattacked India, causing 20 million residents in Mumbai to lose power last fall. An alliance would enable us to prevent and respond to cyber threats utilizing best practices, technologies, and expertise.

The benefits of a U.S.-India alliance are many. It’s also the case that we share many values. By uniting the world’s strongest and largest democracies in a formal alliance, we can do a better job of defending freedom in an increasingly tyrannical world.

Establishing an alliance is the natural result of recent momentum. The United States and India drew closer together during the Trump administration; one notable achievement was the signing of the 2018 Communications Compatibility and Security Agreement. That deal granted India more advanced communication technology for U.S.-purchased defense equipment to help elevate coordination during conflict. In October 2020, the Trump administration and the Indian government signed another agreement for geospatial cooperation that boosted the Indian military’s weapons systems with advanced navigational tools.

These are the sorts of things that allies do, yet our current diplomatic status with India is described as a “strategic partnership.” An upgrade is urgently needed. Just as our alliances with NATO, Japan, and South Korea transformed U.S. security in the 20th century, an alliance with India would help keep us safe in the 21st century. It’s time to make that happen."

Haley - besides both having splendid fiscal/governance records, being popular in their home state, having won re-election based on merit and governance by HUGE margins the second time etc - are the ones most likely to both avoid starting unjust/unnecessary Wars against peaceful countries as well as do engage in defensive Wars against Aggressors like Hitler, Stalin, Putin etc. And being from India and having experienced a small minority of actual Neo-Nazi Skinheads, she has no love for that either.

Yes, that's why the Judeo-Christian and Augustino-Thomistic Tradition of Just War is so important. I say again, a War in the modern world cannot be justified unless (1) someone invades your country and tries to kill you, in which case it is a Just War for you to fight back, and since your Allies in that case also have the right to help you, (2) it follows that it is also a Just War to help countries like Ukraine fight their Just War against Aggressors trying to burn their country to the ground. The same as Conservative Catholic Anti-Nazi Poland did against Nazi Germany and Godless Commie/Communist Thug Jo Stalin, before other Anti-Nazi Western Countries like Britain, France and then America got involved on the right side. Keep your eyes on Taiwan next, Commie China wants to thuggishly invade it, possibly by 2025 itself. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 02:27, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

If in 2025 when the Communist Chinese invasion of Taiwan is most likely, if De Santis/Haley are in office, America will almost certainly win, and it will be a Great Victory for the Free World and a terrible defeat for Communism. However, if Biden/Harris are in, or frankly even some poor candidates like Trump/Lake that hardly know what they are doing, the sad Truth is, America may actually lose. So much depends on the right choice. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 02:30, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

Invading a sovereign, independent foreign country with the Open Society Foundations, the National Endowment for Democracy, and USAID with the object of interference in its domestic internal affairs and regime change is illegal under a United Nations resolution. The United Nations allows for collective self-defense in the face of threats. And even American precedents outside the UN charter, in America's so-called "rules based order", allows for invasion under its doctrine of Responsibility to Protect (R2P) civilians being murdered by their government (democide).
It is impossible for China to "invade" Tiawan, anymore than America could "invade" Texas or California. The United States officially recognizes Taiwan as a province of China. US military support to Taiwan is aggressive interference in China's internal affairs {and a violation of international law).

So when the United States overthrew the democratic government that signed the Budapest Memorandum, who started the war? RobSGive Peace a chance 03:01, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

Firstly, why did the Kremlin so blatantly violate its solemn commitments under the Budapest Memorandum? It shows that Appeasement of Aggressors does not work. Russia solemnly promised neither to invade nor threaten to invade Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine surrendering its weapons to Russia. [I see you updated the article. Good]. But Russia blatantly broke that commitment. The UK and US are upholding their contractual commitments by defending Ukraine.

Second, the Ukrainian Parliament voted 328-0 against Yanukovych after Putin's unjust War against Crimea: "Parliament votes 328-0 to impeach Yanukovych Feb. 22, 5:19 p.m. — Accusing him of massive human rights violations and abandonment of his duties, parliament voted unanimously today to impeach Viktor Yanukovych as Ukraine’s fourth president." https://www.kyivpost.com/post/7028

(A) This part of the of piece from The Conversation website, et seqq, "Ukraine agreed to relinquish its nuclear arsenal" is simply false. Ukraine never had a nuclear arsenal. The stockpiles became part of the "Megatons to Megawatts" deal to be burnt in nuclear power plants as cited in the Uranium One scandal article. Ukraine essentially was holding the weapons hostage, denying passports and removal of the stockpiles until it was paid. The stockpiles were retrieved by the US and dismantled in the United States. (B) As to the unconstitutional impeachment, the facts with citations are covered here: Maidan_coup#Unconstitutional_impeachment, excerpted:
"According to the procedure of impeachment defined in Article 111 of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Rada must establish a special investigatory commission to formulate charges against the president, seek evidence to justify the charges and come to conclusions about the president's guilt for the Rada to consider. To find the president guilty, at least two-thirds of Rada members must assent.

Prior to a final vote to remove the president from power, the procedure requires the Constitutional Court of Ukraine to review the case and certify that the constitutional procedure of investigation and consideration has been followed, and the Supreme Court of Ukraine to certify that the acts of which the President is accused are worthy of impeachment. To remove the president from power, at least three-quarters of Rada members must assent.

The Rada didn't make any pretense of following this procedure. No investigatory commission was established, and the Courts were not involved.[54] On 22 February 2014, the Rada simply passed a resolution purporting to remove Yanukovych from office in accordance with the Constitution.

The constitutionality of Yanukovych's removal from office has been questioned by constitutional experts.[55] According to Daisy Sindelar from Radio Free Europe, the impeachment may have not followed the procedure provided by the constitution: "[I]t is not clear that the hasty February 22 vote upholds constitutional guidelines, which call for a review of the case by Ukraine's Constitutional Court and a three-fourths majority vote by the Verkhovna Rada -- i.e., 338 lawmakers." The vote, as analyzed by Sindelar, had ten votes less than those required by the constitutional guidelines. The decision to remove Yanukovich was supported by 328 deputies. Article 11 maintains that a vote on impeachment must pass by two-thirds of the members, and the impeachment itself requires a vote by three-quarters of the members. In this case, the 328 out of 447 votes were about 10 votes short of three-quarters.[56][57]

Two days later Ukraine's parliament dismissed five judges of the Constitutional Court for allegedly violating their oaths, who were then investigated for alleged malpractice.[58]

Religion vs Atheism: Even Atheist Richard Dawkins begrudgingly admits Christendom protects us from something worse like Radical Islamism

"Richard Dawkins Begrudgingly Admits Christianity Could Be Protecting Us From Evils of This World Is one of today's most famed atheists making a flip-flop?

According to several articles now circulating, Richard Dawkins says he has mixed feelings about the decline of Christianity, "in so far as Christianity might be a bulwark against something worse."

Though the quote originally appeared in a 2010 article, the significance remains, especially with the rise of the Islamic state and radical Islamic terror.

Within this week alone, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for attacks in Indonesia, Turkey and Afghanistan.

"There are no Christians, as far as I know, blowing up buildings. I am not aware of any Christian suicide bombers. I am not aware of any major Christian denomination that believes the penalty for apostasy is death," Dawkins said.

Dawkins is right, according to several Christian commentators.

"Indeed, while many may claim to be 'Christian,' the word only applies to those who are justified in Christ, spiritually reborn and regenerated through the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit," writes barbwire.com's Matt Barber. "The true Christian walks in Christ's steps through faith and obedience. Terrorism is in direct disobedience to Christ."

Though some secularists point to the Planned Parenthood shooting as "Christian terrorism," those who truly know Christ disagree.

"As for those 'anti-abortion extremists,' their actions have been condemned by all major pro-life groups as well as by all major Christian leaders involved in the pro-life movement, since, by murdering another human being, they violate the very spirit of being 'pro-life,'" writes Charisma News' Dr. Michael Brown.

"More importantly, there is not a single word in the teaching of Jesus or the New Testament that supports murdering an abortion doctor (or worker), nor is there anything in ancient Christian tradition or example that would support this," Brown continues.

When someone truly knows the power of Christ, they can't help but be changed, and even the world's most famous atheist recognizes that God is protecting us from evil."

Oh, and while it's good of Dawkins to begin to recognize Christianity is Good for the world even apart from the question of its Truth (it is both True and Good of course, as we Christians know), contrary to Dawkins other tacit claim, Christianity worldwide is not in decline. In some specific countries, yes, it is. But worldwide, no, as I mention on my site here, with a source, Christianity will cross 3 Billion Souls soon, and 3.3 BN by 2050.

"There will be over 2.6 billion Christians worldwide by the middle of 2023 and around 3.3 billion by 2050, according to a report published in early January by the Center for the Study of Global Christianity at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary.

Atheism is the antithesis used by the NWO to counteract the Judeo-Christian "thesis." Ultimately, the NWO intends on smashing both atheism and Judeo-Christianity in order to establish esoteric, Luciferian, Masonic/neo-Masonic Satan worship, aka the culmination of the beast system. Why smash atheism? Well, by then, it had already served its purpose to turn people away from true worship, and because atheism denies all religion, it hence denies the existence of Satan. Atheism is just the temporary tool, the means, used to achieve a more overtly Satanic ends—false Sunday worship honoring the devil instead of the God of the Holy Bible. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Saturday, 17:12, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

Reminder: The Bible condemns Foul Language. It is a sin.

It's sad to see even Christians and Conservatives sometimes use foul language like liberal worldlings, and godless atheists and commies do. Those who don't know should know Jesus Christ said we will have to give an account for every word we speak before the Throne of God, and even Saint Paul condemns it. Here is Ephesians 4:29 in the Amplified KJV:

"29 Do not let unwholesome [foul, profane, worthless, vulgar] words ever come out of your mouth, but only such speech as is good for building up others, according to the need and the occasion, so that it will be a blessing to those who hear [you speak]."

But the Pharisees said taking a dump in a chamber pot inside the city or camp and letting some low-class plebian cart it outside the city fulfilled the law. Which begs the question: Are we still to fulfil the law of the Sabbath, too? RobSGive Peace a chance
You're distorting Jesus's words. The King James Bible renders Luke 14:35 as Jesus using the phrase "dunghill," which clearly is not equivalent in appropriateness and tone to "sh*t pile." Jesus did not use foul language despite what you may assume.
Jesus fulfilled the law (Matt. 5:17); He obeyed the very moral law He established in the Torah, and fulfilled the ceremonial law by completing what the shadows were pointing towards: His earthly death on the cross. Thus, after He said "It is finished!" the ceremonial law was fulfilled and obsolete because it served its purpose, while the moral law still remains. While ceremonial sabbaths were part of the ceremonial law, the Sabbath is part of the moral law established at creation (Gen. 2:3), which predates the Jews and hence debunks the mythology surrounding the "Jewish Sabbath." —LT (Matthew 26:52) Saturday, 16:55, June 10, 2023 (EDT)
Oh, and since the Sunday-keepers love to take the Acts of the Apostles out of context by harping over verse 20:7, let's consider: what was a defining feature of the Sabbath emphasized in the Torah? Leviticus spells it out clearly:
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation [emphasis added]; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

—Leviticus 23:3

What was the consistent day of holy convocation in Acts? Sunday? No. It was still the Sabbath, as Paul spoke to the Jews on the Sabbath, after which the Gentiles pleaded with him to teach them the next Sabbath. (Acts 13:42) Now, this itself is quite telling: these Gentiles presumably had been former pagans, and thus used to worship on Sunday because pagan religions in the time revolved around sun worship. In Paul's day, these authentic Gentile converts to Jewish Christianity did not seek to maintain their pagan custom of worshiping on Sunday, but had the mind of repentance and renewal to put aside their old paganism and gather on the Sabbath.
"And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God." (Acts 13:44) And what was Paul's consistent action? "And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath days reasoned with them out of the scriptures." (Acts 17:2) The holy convocation was still on the Sabbath in the New Testament church, not Sunday. First-day worship is a relic of paganism, not Christianity. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Saturday, 17:04, June 10, 2023 (EDT)
(a) What is dung? (b) What evidence do you have of an alternative "foul" word for dung at the time of Christ? (c) What evidence do you have for scientific research at the time of Christ for alternative words to the foul language term, "dung"?
We've been over the rest dozens of times. Paul was not speaking to a convocation of believers on the Sabbath. He was telling them they didn't have to meet on the Sabbath - the Sabbath was created for man as a day of rest, not man created to serve the Sabbath.

exhort one another daily, while it is called today.
What is the difference between an exhortation and a commandment? The New Testament is long on exhortations and short on commands. An exhortation is like a coach standing on the sidelines yelling at his players to score. Exhortations are aimed at the "weaker brethren" to build them up in faith. Exhortations are instructions to us to be examples to the weaker brethren. The passage in James is an exhortation. But to exhort someone by commanding them to good works for salvation, is a false gospel. Neither is it spoken in love. RobSGive Peace a chance 20:39, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

Romans 2, James 2 and 2 Peter 1, not to mention Matthew 25, refute the false doctrine that Good Works are not necessary for salvation. Good works are not sufficient to save us, but they are necessary. Salvation = The Grace of God+your faith in Christ+the good works God does in you+your perseverance to the end, by the help of His Grace.

Here are the passages: Romans 2, God repays/rewards each one according to their works: " 6God “will repay each one according to his works.” 7To those who by perseverance in doing good seek glory, honor, and immortality, He will give eternal life" (Rom 2:6-7).

'James 2, Faith without Works is Dead: "Faith Without Works Is Dead 14What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

18But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.

25Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?

26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." (James 2:14-26)." NishantXavierFor Christ the King 20:55, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

We've been over this a thousand times.
Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him as righteous.
This day thou shalt be with me in paradise. The thief on the cross next to Jesus had no time for good works. His faith alone saved him. RobSGive Peace a chance 21:01, June 10, 2023 (EDT)
NishantXavier, you're confusing salvation with justification. Salvation is by faith alone (Eph. 2:8), while justification requires the completion of faith through works. James 2:21 and 24–25 in speaking of the need for good works plainly uses the term "justify," not "save." —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 22:15, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

No, that's not theologically accurate, LT. Agreed that Salvation and Justification are distinct, but no can be saved without being justified. Justification is thus a necessary but not sufficient condition for salvation. Biblically, Salvation=Justification+Sanctification+Perseverance. That Justification is necessary for Salvation is obvious. That Sanctification is necessary for salvation is proven from two verses, first which says, we should do the will of the Father to be saved, and the other which says the will of God is our Sanctification. As for Perseverance, it is proven from Christ saying: "Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of many shall grow cold. But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved".

Now, St. James the Apostle teaches us: "you see then that a man is justified by his works, and not by faith alone". If a man cannot even be justified (just the 1st component in the Biblical Equation above) by faith alone, he obviously cannot be saved by faith alone. No, as I said earlier, Salvation is also= the Grace of God + your faith in Christ + the good works God does in you and through and for you + your perseverance to the end, with the help of God's Grace, as can be proven from multiple passages. I will cite the verses if needed. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 00:14, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

Uh, you have it backwards, NishantXavier. Salvation comes first, then justification. Jesus compares faith to a seed (Matt. 13) and works to the fruit (Matt. 7:20)—one plants a seed to grow a fruit, not the other way around. With the fully grown fruit essentially representing the completed state of justification, it's clear that salvation, symbolized by the planting of the seed, must take place first. The process of justification thus can be compared to the sprouting of the fruit from the seed.
If one is already justified, then why the need for salvation? If one already stands justified before God and thus qualified for Heaven, then what do they need to repent of? It's salvation that comes first, and then God renews the person in the process of sanctification towards justification. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 00:22, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
Now, I see where you're coming from in saying that "no [one] can be saved without being justified." Certainly, no individual is truly able to enter Heaven unless they are justified in the sight of God. However, your understanding isn't biblically sound because you're confusing salvation with sanctification; first we are saved by faith alone in confessing our sins in the name of Jesus for them to be washed clean by His blood and declaring Him as our Savior, and then we are on the process of achieving justification. Sorry if I sound a bit too blunt here, as I'm trying to get my points across in a straightforward manner. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 00:27, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

2 Peter 1, whoever lacks Good Works is Nearsighted and Blind: "Partakers of the Divine Nature

3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His owna glory and excellence. 4Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires.

5For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; 6and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. 8For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins.

10Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble, 11and you will receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."

Once more, those who faithfully add good works to faith are those who will "receive a lavish reception into the eternal kingdom of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". Many other passages could be cited, Saint John saying: "whoever works righteousness is righteous just as He is righteous (i.e. because He Himself worked good works)" I believe was cited above, and Saint Peter telling Cornelius, who wasn't even a Christian yet: "Of a Truth I perceive that God shows no partiality but in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is acceptable to Him" is another example. Finally, when Christ tells us to store Treasures in Heaven by Good Works like Alms-Giving or Charity, He shows these good works, when done with faith in Christ, have eternal value or eternal rewards in the Kingdom of Heaven.

But Mat 25 is the Greatest of these and it shows what Good Works are necessary: "31When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, He will sit on His glorious throne. 32All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate the people one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

34Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger and you took Me in, 36I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

37Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You something to drink? 38When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39When did we see You sick or in prison and visit You?’

40And the King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’" (Mat 25:31-40)." These are the good works God commanded, (1) feeding the hungry (2) giving drink to the thirsty (3) hospitality to foreigners/strangers (4) clothing the naked (5) caring for the sick (6) visiting prisoners etc. See: https://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/how-we-teach/new-evangelization/jubilee-of-mercy/the-corporal-works-of-mercy These are the works by which, as the Lord said, "All men shall know that you are My Disciples, when you show love for one another", and "Let your light shine before men, that they may see your Good Works, and glorify your Eternal Father". These also thus greatly assist in Evangelism, for it attracts non-Christians to the Faith. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 21:06, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

It's all fine, but it won't buy you a ticket to heaven. Bill Gates for all his intended good works in his mind, still needs to repent and have faith in Jesus. RobSGive Peace a chance 21:14, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

Bill Gates does evil works like his vaccine de-population agenda aiming to maim, kill or harm millions. Those are evil works which will have to punished, according to the Lord's Word: "“And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work." (Revelation 22:12).

Here, I am speaking of the actual Good Works of caring for the Poor, giving alms, storing your treasures in Heaven, etc. like for e.g. righteous Christians like Mother Theresa showed. And Evangelism for Christ is also a Good Work meriting a reward, as it says in 1 Cor 3, so we can include those like a St. Patrick, or a Rev. Billy Graham in that. Those with faith in Christ and who do good works will have eternal rewards. Both faith and good works are necessary, not faith alone, as St. James says, and as Abraham showed: "You see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith alone .. his good works worked together with his (Abraham's) faith, and by good works faith was made perfect"." Be like blessed Abraham and make sure your good works make your faith perfect; otherwise, your faith is dead, as the same Apostle says, for faith without works, if faith remains alone, is truly dead. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 21:28, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

[Edit: 1 Jn 3 would also apply to murderers and planned de-populators like Gates and other deep state globalists: "14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. The one who does not love remains in death. 15Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that eternal life does not reside in a murderer."

And on the contrary, the works of those with true Christian Love in their heart, i.e. with the Holy Spirit dwelling in them, are evident:

True Love: "16By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17If anyone with earthly possessions sees his brother in need, but withholds his compassion from him, how can the love of God abide in him?"] NishantXavierFor Christ the King 21:31, June 10, 2023 (EDT)

Anyway, coming back to the original point; foul language is a sin and Christians who seriously pursue holiness and eternal rewards in the life to come should not do it, for as 1 Cor 3:13-15 teaches if they do, the Lord could discipline them "as through fire" and they could lose rewards. Also, to address an objection: if you are a doctor for e.g. and you need to tell a patient to urinate, you can do so in a proper and decent manner. But to use words like f,p,s etc, especially in virtually every other sentences, as liberals, atheists, godless worldlings do, reveals a carnal and perhaps unregenerate soul. Take care, especially those who are Christians to avoid such language and speak only good things.

Eph 5:3-5, KJV Amp:"3 But sexual immorality and all [moral] impurity [indecent, offensive behavior] or greed must not even be hinted at among you, as is proper among saints [for as believers our way of life, whether in public or in private, reflects the validity of our faith]. 4 Let there be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse [obscene or vulgar] joking, because such things are not appropriate [for believers]; but instead speak of your thankfulness [to God]. 5 For be sure of this: no immoral, impure, or greedy person—for that one is [in effect] an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God [for such a person places a higher value on something other than God]." (Amp.)

Concurred; you articulated it brilliantly. The Bible refers to numerous, well, let's just say NSFW contexts such as in Genesis 38:9, but certainly doesn't use direct foul language. All Christians likewise should abstain from cussing. I know I myself am prone to using milder terms like "crap" to express impulsive frustration, though perhaps even that's a habit I ought to curb. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 00:42, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
Okay. Enough's enough. Now tell me what God means when he said:
1 Kings 14:10-11 Therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel, and will take away the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as a man taketh away dung, till it be all gone.
RobSGive Peace a chance
The NRSV Bible translation is a sound translation and it translates 1 Kings 14: 10-11 thusly: "therefore, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam. I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both bond and free, in Israel and will consume the house of Jeroboam, just as one burns up dung until it is all gone. Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city, the dogs shall eat; and anyone who dies in the open country, the birds of the air shall eat; for the Lord has spoken.”
In an agrarian society, like that which existed in biblical times, I wouldn't consider the word "dung" to be foul language. Conservative (talk) 02:15, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
That's close, and that is one interpretation. But it doesn't convey the whole meaning. RobSGive Peace a chance 02:23, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
To thumbnail it (and I could go into much greater detail), "the wall" of the ancient city is a symbol of God himself providing protection for his people (Pr. 18:10 for example or the hymn A Mighty Fortress is Our God; more references available). The walls of Jericho for example fell down cause the people were not protected by God, or the Book of Nehemiah, rebuilding the wall, etc. "He that pisseth against the wall" (using Deuteronomy 23 for example) is someone disrespecting God himself. So it's debatable whether that verse in 1 Kings refers to all the males of the House of Jeroboam being cut off. RobSGive Peace a chance 18:49, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
Conservative, modern Bible "translations" rely on the corrupted Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus over the highly corroborated and reliable Textus Receptus. Either one of them or both trace their origins to Alexandria, which along with Rome was infamous for being a swamp of Gnostic, occultist myths. The "discoverers" of the two purportedly "oldest and most reliable manuscripts" were Westcott and Hort, rabid God-denying occultists who sought to turn Protestant Christians away from the inspired word of the King James Bible by gradually producing "modern Bibles" which increasingly corrupt the text and deny Jesus's divinity.
The common argument is made that Codices Vaticanus and Sinaiticus are the oldest and henceforth most reliable. However, they are merely the oldest out of the existing copies we still have today. Shills for the "reliability" of those codices argue that some passages such as Mark 16:9–20 weren't part of the original text because those two codices don't contain it, yet Vaticanus and Sinaiticus date to about the 4th century, and Mark 16:19 was quoted by the ante-Nicene Church Father Irenaeus of Lyons! —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 10:53, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
In Codex Vaticanus, the Pastoral Epistles of the Apostle Paul are gone (oh, and those three Epistles just so happen to be designated by modern-day "scholars" as pseudepigraphal writings; what a coincidence!) while several books of the Apocrypha, viewed by the Roman Catholic Church as inspired, are included. Why is that? Well, follow the trail: what did Paul say in 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus that so irked the early ideological initiators of the Roman church-state? Paul writes in 1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." (this is merely one example that caught my attention)
Need I say more? The false teacher and Nicene-era figure Origen along with his acolyte/follower Eusebius, an adviser to Constantine, decided that the biblical truth in the Pastorals too bluntly contradicted their own fantasies, and thus compiled Codices Vaticanus and/or Sinaiticus later discovered and exalted by occultists Westcott and Hort to be used as the basis for modern Bible translations that watered down the influence of Protestantism to the gloating of Jesuits that their own Bible version was henceforth "vindicated." 1 Timothy 2:5 declares Jesus Christ as the one sole mediator between God and man, contradicting the notion that one should pray to Mary or "the saints." —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 11:05, June 11, 2023 (EDT)
Whoops, I almost forgot Titus 1:12–14: "One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith; Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth." There goes the notion of believing in eternal torment in the lake of fire because J. I. Packer via "The Gospel Coalition" says so, or that we venerate Mary, pray for the dead, go to church on Sunday, etc. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 11:36, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

The teachings of the SDA sect - largely if not universally rejected in both Catholic and Evangelical Christendom - come under those very same Jewish fables that St. Paul condemns. I notice you conveniently did not bold that part, lol. Do understand that the first major heresy Christendom dealt with came from apostate Jews - namely the Judaizing heresy that Circumcision was necessary for Christians. This the Holy Spirit and the Apostles condemned, as we read in Acts 15 and Galatians, and the Pauline Epistles generally. The idea that we ought to stone people today for working on the OT Jewish Sabbath or something is another Jewish fable, which Christ rejected. The Risen Christ appeared to His disciples and gave them Holy Communion after His Resurrection on Sunday on Sunday itself, thus showing Sunday Communion is proper and fitting in the New Testament. Those who reject this are still under the law and not under Christ ad Saint Paul said of the Jews who were preaching Circumcision, which was a Judaizing denial of the Cross of Christ. So too denying Christian Sunday Communion is a denial of Christ's Resurrection on Sunday. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 11:51, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

I didn't embolden the "Jewish fables" part because it wasn't necessary for emphasis in this instance.
What is Judaizing, as the Apostle Paul denounced in Galatians 2:14? The debates between Paul and the Pharisaic faction of the early New Testament church was not over the moral law, rather the ceremonial law. "Judaizing" referred to the notion that keeping the ceremonial law was necessary for salvation/justification, that Gentile converts must be circumcised and observe strict Jewish traditions. The Sabbath is eternal (Isa. 66:23), not a shadow that was rendered obsolete, and is not "the Jewish Sabbath" because it was established at creation (Gen. 2:3), hence predating the Jews, who were descendants of Shem (that's precisely why Jews are Semites).
Jesus died on the sixth day of the week, rested in the grave on the seventh day, and rose on the eighth/first day. In the Old Testament as recorded all the way back in Genesis, newborn children were circumcised on the eighth day. Why is that? Because it's the start of a fresh week, representing newness. If the eighth/first day was emphasized strongly in the OT and yet there was no basis in that era for first day observance, neither is there such a basis in the NT, where references towards the first day are considerably fewer and less significant. Jesus rising on the first day of the week does not make it a new day of rest, which still was the Sabbath. See Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:1, and Luke 23:56: Jesus's followers "rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."
There is simply no basis in the entirety of the Bible substantiating Sunday observance. —LT (Matthew 26:52) Sunday, 12:02, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

I would say Christians should be careful with the word "homosexuality", which gives the false impression that the inclination is genetic or innate. The correct term is the "act/sin of sodomy", which is a disordered/non-procreative sexual act, which no one is under any genetic or innate compulsion to commit, and which is always a sin against Nature and Nature's God, as the Bible and Christian Tradition clearly shows. The term homosexual was coined by two queers 150 years ago: "On May 6, 1868, the itinerant, Austrian-born writer Karl Maria Kertbeny wrote to fellow queer activist Karl Heinrich Ulrichs. His letter contained the earliest recorded use of the terms homosexual and heterosexual. Kertbeny and Ulrichs had much in common but, in this same correspondence, they disagreed over strategies for queer emancipation." https://medium.com/@gvgktang/150-years-ago-the-word-homosexual-was-coined-in-a-secret-correspondence-1803ff9a79bc

A more recent example of how liberal woke people want to normalize pedophilia is by calling them "MAP"s: Minor Attracted Persons. More word games from the woke left.

And no, it is not irrelevant imo. Christians in some parts of Europe, just like the Christian I mentioned in America itself, have been banned/cancelled, fired from their jobs and sometimes even thrown into prison sometimes simply for reading Bible verses or just explaining the Biblical Truth that sin of sodomy is a serious sin, against the design of our bodies, and the Creator of those bodies. It is an act gravely harmful to body and soul alike and is in no way comparable to natural and procreative sex. The act was always called sodomy by Christians, and sometimes even by secular people, after the sin of Sodom, which was displeasing to Almighty God.

Homosexuality is a punishment or quasi-punishment from God (Quasi-punishment as in God lifting up his hedge of protection).

The Bravery of these Heroes is comparable to that of the Allies who gave themselves up to defend Europe and liberate it from Nazis in WWII.

Prez. Zelenksy is Jewish, as are many other Ukrainian leaders, and even has relatives that died in the Holocaust. As I told you, there are a tiny fraction of Neo-Nazis in America too, though they have no power, just like in Ukraine. Can Russia rightly invade America because of that? Of course not. Leave it to those in power to prevent anything like a 2nd Jewish Holocaust, which is not happening under Prez.

Ninety-seven percent of Ukrainians believe they will win the war against Russia and 74% believe Ukraine will maintain all territories from within its internationally recognized borders defined in 1991." https://www.iri.org/news/iri-ukraine-poll-shows-strong-confidence-in-president-zelensky-a-surge-in-support-for-nato-membership-russia-should-pay-for-reconstruction/ Can you imagine Biden or Trump, or even De Santis, having 90% support? It's so RARE.

"Days before taking office in 2019, Zelensky put flowers on the grave of his Jewish grandfather, who fought the Nazis in World War II.

“[Simon] went through the whole war and remains forever in my memory one of those heroes who defended Ukraine from the Nazis. Thanks for the fact that the inhuman ideology of Nazism is forever a thing of the past. Thanks to those who fought against Nazism — and won.”

Crazy Lib Dems with no new ideas. They've tried this before. They're probably becoming alarmed that De Santis is a rising star, and his national profile and especially his polling in early states is extremely good, hence they're stepping up their liberal leftist lies. Those "protesters" are quite possibly paid Democratic staffers. See this:

"He called the protesters “some jackasses doing this on the street” and suggested the matter was a police issue. “First of all, state law enforcement is going to hold them accountable because they were doing stuff on the overpass, so they are absolutely going to be doing that and they should do that.”

DeSantis’s comments came a day after his press secretary, Christina Pushaw, drew widespread criticism over a tweet that she posted, then deleted, on Sunday. She wrote: “Do we even know they’re Nazis? Or is this a stunt like the ‘white nationalists’ who crashed the Youngkin rally in Charlottesville and turned out to be Dem staffers? I trust Florida law enforcement to investigate and am awaiting their conclusions.”

The “stunt” Pushaw referred to was an incident last October in which the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican political action committee, sent a group of people pretending to be white supremacists to an event for the Republican gubernatorial candidate Glenn Youngkin in Charlottesville, Virginia." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/feb/01/ron-desantis-neo-nazi-protests NishantXavierFor Christ the King 21:42, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

I support good people everywhere. I like De Santis because he's a Courageous Soldier and Anti-Woke. I like Prez. Zelensky, not a Nazi, but a Jew, and either a Jewish Christian or at least one sympathetic to Jesus, whom he calls Christ (unlike unbelieving Jews), and Mary, whom he calls "Oranta", which means a Powerful Prayer Warrior. His children and wife are Baptized Orthodox Christians, as is most of Ukraine. But I also commend his Patriotism because, when American Ambassadors offered him safe refuge if only he fled, instead he rejected that offer, and chose to stay behind and suffer with and for his people rather than living a comfortable life elsewhere: "the hireling fleeth because he has no care for the sheep; but the good shepherd (leader) cares for his sheep/people". "I need ammo, not a ride". I judge people, as Dr. Martin Luther King said to do, on the contents of their character. Unfortunately, your neo-Commie Kremlin propaganda might be telling you otherwise, but my analysis and research nows how to rebut and refute those lies.

Africa now has more Christians than any other Continent! Wow, how Amazing! What a turnaround from a century or so ago

The below was researched and updated by yours truly at wikipedia some years ago, re-posting it here with some modifications at Conservapedia: "A 2018 study by the Gordon–Conwell Theological Seminary discovered that more Christians live in Africa than any other continent, with 631 million Christians throughout the landmass.[1] The study also states that Latin America has the second-highest number of Christians at 601 million Christians, while Europe has the third-highest with 571 million Christians.[2]

According to updated data for 2021, there are now nearly 685 million Christians in Africa, with 760 million expected by 2025.[3] This surpasses earlier estimates of 630 million to 700 million for 2025: "By 2025, that number is expected to nearly double, to somewhere between 630 and 700 million believers."[4]

Christian researcher Philip Jenkins has more, with a focus on Catholic Christendom's growth as well (he is himself non-Catholic Christian, Evangelical though, as far as I recall): "It is strange then to realise that this Church – which is already, by far, the largest religious institution on the planet – is in fact enjoying global growth on an unprecedented scale. In 1950, the world’s Catholic population was 437 million, a figure that grew to 650 million by 1970, and to around 1.2 billion today. Put another way, Catholic numbers have doubled since 1970, and that change has occurred during all the recent controversies and crises within the Church, all the debates following Vatican II and all the claims about the rise of secularism.

Nor does the rate of growth show any sign of diminishing. By 2050, a conservative estimate suggests there should be at least 1.6 billion Catholics.

I spoke about global growth, and that “global” element demands emphasis. The Church has an excellent claim to have invented globalisation, and that goes far towards explaining just why its numbers are actually booming. Throughout history there had been so many so-called “world empires” which in reality were mainly confined to Eurasia. Only in the 16th century did the Spanish and Portuguese empires truly span the globe. For me, true globalisation began in 1578, when the Catholic Church established its diocese at Manila, in the Philippines – as a suffragan see of Mexico City, on the other side of the immense Pacific Ocean.

Those once mighty empires are long departed, but their ghosts remain in the thriving Catholic populations of Brazil, Mexico and the Philippines, which today constitute the Church’s three largest population centres. Mexico’s overall population has swelled from 50 million in 1970 to 121 million today, so of course there are lots more Catholics in that country. The Philippines, meanwhile, today claims 80 million Catholics, a number that will likely increase to well over 100 million by 2050. Last year, there were more Catholic baptisms in that country than in France, Spain, Italy and Poland combined.

A cynical observer might object that Church growth is solely the result of surging populations in particular regions where Catholicism happens to be the default religion. Certainly, as always, demographics plays its part in religious change, but this is by no means the whole story, and the clearest proof of this is found in Africa. Back in 1900, Africa had perhaps 10 million Christians of all denominations, constituting some 10 per cent of the whole population. Today, there are half a billion African Christians, accounting for half the continental population, and that number should exceed a billion by the 2040s.

This phenomenal growth – which is, incidentally, by far the largest quantitative change that has ever occurred in any religion, anywhere – is in part the result of the continent’s overall population growth." https://catholicherald.co.uk/catholicisms-incredible-growth-story/ NishantXavierFor Christ the King 22:00, June 11, 2023 (EDT)

Dr. Robert Redfield, former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told CNN that he believes the virus escaped from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) lab in China. “I do not believe this somehow came from a bat to a human.”[7]"

Who is responsible for those 1 MN American deaths, plus millions of others around the world? The CCP. Own it.

That is why I introduced the resolution to force the communist China to accept responsibility for its gross deception and mishandling of the coronavirus outbreak. If the Administration won’t stand up for the American people, the People’s House must.

Moreover, the United States’ response to the pandemic has cost trillions of dollars. China shouldn’t just be made to take responsibility for the pandemic, the CCP should pay for it.

De Santis calls out the blasphemies and LGBT promotion of the Anti-Catholic hate group, the Dodgers

Trump nowhere to be found in combating LGBT. Surprise, surprise. Just complaining American establishments, including the American military, sadly, under both Biden and Trump, promoted and promotes the LGBT Agenda, solves nothing. De Santis can fight it and win. The solution is Good Conservatives like him, not WokeSymps like Trump.

"Good on the thousands who showed up at Dodger Stadium to protest this anti-Catholic hate group.

The virtually empty stadium for the game itself was a powerful image – Americans are fed up with the nonsense and are fighting back."

https://twitter.com/RonDeSantis/status/1670140388684840961

“We’re hoping that the Dodgers will see the amount of Catholics and Christians showing up here today peacefully,” protestor Anthony Rodriguez told KTLA outside of the stadium. “We’re showing that we’re not budging. We’ve drawn a line in the sand and we’re putting our faith first.” https://nypost.com/2023/06/16/dodgers-sisters-of-perpetual-indulgence-event-draws-thousands-of-protesters/ NishantXavierFor Christ the King 08:07, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

For the Dodger's game in question, the Dodgers recorded an attendance of 49,074, slightly higher than its league-leading average of 47,800.[13] But the attendance for the pre-game anti-Catholic group that was pro-LGBTQ was a pretty empty stadium.[14] Conservative (talk) 08:44, June 18, 2023 (EDT)

Ukraine gained its independence in 1991. I suspect its Western drift likely grew after the fall of the Soviet Union and further accelerated after its independence.

Ukraine's Western drift was well underway when Ukrainian nationalists (whom the record will show in MPR/talk Archives that you praised as heroes a year ago) when they allied with Hitler to slaughter Jews, Russians, and Poles. When Galicia was part of the Polish, Austrian, and German Empires long before is when "Ukraine" (a misnomer) drifted to the West began. It never gave up its language, alphabet, or allegiance to the Orthodox Church. It never bent the knee to the Pope, or became Romanized under Polish hegemony; it never embraced Northen German Protestantism under the Prussian state, and never embraced Austrian Catholicism, either.) Under Clinton and the neocons however, it did begin embracing gay rights and atheism, and under Obama, with the help of the CIA, it saw a resurgence of its Russophobic Nazi past.

De Santis channels Churchill: we will fight [the Woke] in education, in the halls of Congress

"DeSantis: As president, I'll recognize that the woke mind virus represents a war on the truth so we will wage a war on the woke. We will fight the woke in education, we will fight the woke in corporations, we will fight the woke in the halls of congress, we will never ever surrender to the woke mob ... we will leave Woke Ideology on the Dustbin of History" https://twitter.com/i/status/1665086349483835392

Churchill had said of the Nazis: "I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once more able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's Government – every man of them. That is the will of Parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French Republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength.

Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender." This is what Good Leaders do. Churchill did, De Santis is doing it in Florida, and will do it across America if he is elected. And not only in America, America has more influence on NATO than any other single country. The ideology that dominates America will dominate NATO too. That's why it's so deadly if Woke Ideology dominates America but so incredibly positive for us Conservative Christians if Conservative Christian ideology is dominant, as De Santis will do.

Some surprising stats in this poll. Gen Z is the most pro-life generation ever. 55% believe 6 week heartbeat bills are "just right" or "too lenient"! 45% that they are too restrictive

This is from some time ago, but quite amazing. It shows that Heartbeat Bills are still fairly popular and certainly not damaging or devastating to conservatives or anything like that. De Santis signed one in Florida. Christians and Conservatives should work together with non-Christians and liberals to form a Compassionate Conservative Consensus (ideally 6 weeks or better) on Abortion, focused on (1) saving as many Babies' Lives as possible (2) helping as many Women/Mothers as possible. I would love if they commit to 6 weeks.

The below shows that, contrary to political correctness and conventional wisdom, it need not even be politically damaging to do so.

"More than half of registered voters believe that laws banning abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy are not too restrictive, according to a new Hill-HarrisX survey.

The May 10-11 poll found that 21 percent of registered voters said that such abortion bans are “too lenient” while 34 percent said they believe they are “just right.”

Forty-five percent of respondents said they believe the laws are “too restrictive.”

Proponents of abortion rights have mounted legal challenges to new regulations passed by a number of states, but the Hill-Harris poll shows that in the court of public opinion, the laws do not currently appear to have sparked majority opposition."

Ukrainian Catholic Priest explains the situation on the ground

This is from some time ago, but illuminating as to what's going on:

"I do not deny that globalists try to influence Ukrainian politics in various ways. But Russia is doing the same. Russian expansion politics are not better then American globalism for us. Russian media spread disinformation about life in Ukraine, in their country, and all around the world.

This war really started in 2014 and it was started by Russia, which occupied Crimea, then provoked separatist actions in Donetsk and Luhansk regions and supported them by the Russian army. There is not any justification of Russian military intervention in our country. If they wanted to prevent any danger from U.S. or NATO, why did they attack Ukraine instead of Alaska, for example?

The Russian-Ukrainian confrontation did not start in 2014. We have a very long history of conflicts for centuries. Let us remember for example the act of genocide of our people in 1932-1933, when millions of Ukrainians died in the artificial famine.

The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church also underwent several stages of liquidation and bloody persecution by the Russian Empire and the communist regime. The last of them lasted in western Ukraine from 1946 to 1989, when our Church existed in deep underground conditions.

There are many more such manifestations of Russian chauvinism. Russia brutally declares that it has a historical right to Ukrainian lands; its propaganda often sound theses that Ukrainians and Russians are one people, that the Ukrainian language is a dialect of Russian, etc.

Why does Archbishop Vigano not mention about Putin’s declaration in Munich 2008, that he considers the collapse of the Soviet Union the greatest world’s catastrophe of the 20th century? That declaration means he wants to restore the Soviet Union, to take Ukraine again under control of Russia.

I just want to show here the deep reason of Russian aggression towards Ukraine. Nobody may say that it is only confrontation between Russia and the globalist West, and Ukraine is just a battlefield.

The greatest insult to our people is the accusation of spreading Nazism. I will not refute here the Russian accusations repeated by Archbishop Viganо because it is not possible to do so within the framework of this interview. But the facts of this war show that it was Russian troops who acted like Nazis.

After the liberation from Russian occupancy of such cities as Bucha, Irpin, and Gostomel, hundreds of corpses of civilians were found there with traces of torture, the bodies of raped and killed women who they tried to burn.

On several occasions, the Russians did not allow humanitarian missions to enter Mariupol or other occupied cities to deliver food or evacuate civilians. This army, which came "to save the Russian-speaking population," almost wiped out Mariupol, a city of more than four hundred thousand people, mostly Russian-speaking.

Trump whistleblower is back

As I've said many times, Trump-Russia and the Ukraine war are inextricably linked. Eric Ciaramella, the whistleblower in Trump's first impeachment, is back. He's also the same guy who told Ukrainian officials in January 2016 to lay off investigating Hunter Biden and instructed them to open an investigation on Paul Manafort. Ukraine passed bogus allegations of "Russia collusion" to Ali Chalupa of the DNC, who passed it to Comey's FBI, and later Robert Mueller (the allegations were baseless, and Mueller actually nailed Manafort on tax charges from 2006).

The neo-fascist rag The Economist reports: [17]

Democrat operative Alexandra Chalupa (left) Deep State informant Eric Ciaramella (right).[2]
"Eric Ciaramella of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a think-tank in Washington, argues that Western leaders should set out plans for Ukraine’s reconstruction and integration with the West, not least through security arrangements enshrined in law. Hitherto some Western leaders thought such matters would best be left until after a cessation of hostilities; but Mr Ciaramella argues they would help bring the fighting to an end by denying Mr Putin’s hope of winning a drawn-out conflict.

The security “assurances” given to Ukraine by America, Britain and Russia itself in the 1994 Budapest memorandum, in return for its agreeing to the removal of Soviet-era nuclear weapons from its soil, proved hollow. Ukraine and eastern European friends argue that only membership of the nato alliance—with Article 5 enshrining the mutual-defence commitment that an attack on one is an attack on all—can protect Ukraine from further attack. For all the devastation he has visited on Ukraine, Mr Putin has been careful not to strike at nato countries....

Mr Ciaramella sets out a five-point proposal to give Ukraine “less than Article 5 but more than the Budapest Memorandum”. This includes legally codified commitments to help-Ukraine defend itself, inspired in part by those that America gives to Israel and Taiwan, to ensure they endure regardless of who is in power in America and Europe. He also advocates multi-year commitments to arm Ukraine; support to rebuild Ukraine’s arms industry; mechanisms for political consultation like nato’s Article 4; and a clear path to eu membership. All this would not be an alternative to nato membership, but a bridge towards it. The goal, much like those hoped-for territorial gains in Ukraine’s counter-offensive, would be to demonstrate to Russia that there is nothing to be gained by prolonging the war.

So after these war criminals got 350,000 Ukrainians killed for nothing, they're looking for a face-saving way to bail. The problem is, Russia won't agree to any of it, and the US-backed Kyiv regime won't survive.

Understanding diplomatic protocol - Blinken does not represent the United States

In this photo, Blinken meets with MBS in Saudi Arabia. The absence of the American flag signifies that this meeting was held outside any official prearranged or scheduled meeting. It was held at the personal request of Blinken on short notice to Saudi Arabia, which the Saudis acquiesced to without any formal understanding or prearranged agenda about the purpose of the meeting.

The meeting was probably requested to ask for a favor or deliver a threat.

Additionally, for those who like to get into the weeds, the fact this message or threat was delivered by Blinken signifies a (potential) rift between the CIA and State Department on policy matters (which shows the smart thinking and justification of Saudi Arabia in not recognizing the meeting in an official capacity. Basically, Saudi Arabia is saying to the Biden White House and Blinken State Department, "Hey, you guys might not be around 2 years from now, so we'll listen to your BS and think about it.")

Additionally, the meeting may have been requested simply to request a series of future meetings between various contacts on both sides - outside regular US government and State Department channels.

Ukraine gains in its counter offensive

When celebrating a Prayer Breakfast around Feb 24, 2023, the 1 year Anniversary of the War, Prez. Zelensky said he hoped to celebrate one on Feb 24, 2024 again this time commemorating the Victory in the War. There is a significant possibility the War will end within a year.

See the Gains in the Counter-Offensive, 2 of which (Blahodatne and Neskuchne) are admitted by the Kremlin's supporters themselves:

"In the first reported gains of its much-anticipated counteroffensive, Kyiv says its forces have reclaimed territory from Russia.

Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Maliar on Monday posted a message on Telegram saying that Ukraine's flag was again flying over the village of Storozheve.

Unverified videos showed troops hoisting the Ukrainian flag in the village of Blahodatne in the Donetsk region and their unit's flag in the adjacent village of Neskuchne.

Ukraine also said its troops had made advances in Makarivka, but some prominent Russian military bloggers suggested that while Ukrainian forces took Blahodatne and Neskuchne, the fight for Makarivka was going on." https://www.dw.com/en/ukraine-updates-kyiv-claims-first-counteroffensive-gains/a-65886963 NishantXavierFor Christ the King 22:21, June 12, 2023 (EDT)

Kiev forces paid a heavy price to capture these small villages. According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, around 10,000 have been killed or wounded since the start of the counteroffensive. Many of the casualties were trained by NATO in bases outside Ukraine.

The above posting from Deutsche Welle is a case study in how Kyiv manipulates the time cycle in news reporting. 24-36 hours ago the Russians stepped back from forward positions in 3 villages with a population of about 175 people each. They still are about 30km north of the Surovikin Line, the first major defensive fortification (they basically are inviting NATO/Ukraine into the kill zone). The Ukies advanced. In that first 12 hour period, they took pictures of flag raising over these evacuated villages and released photos to international media like DW.
In the following 24 hours, fighting erupted in the kill zone where NATO/Ukraine was either annihilated, retreated, or taken prisoner. Meanwhile, Deutsche Welle goes to press declaring victory. The story is repeated worldwide by globalist media for the next 72 hours while the defeat is never reported. Wash. Rinse Repeat. Why I need to go into detail on this after the last 15 months is a mystery to me.
Now, Why does Ukraine need "published" victories? Cause at the upcoming July 11 NATO meeting, Zelensky and company have been strictly informed, they need captured territory for continued NATO aid. Additionally, the Russians aren't stupid - they read Western newspapers and media, as well. They understand the schedule and deadlines Zelensky faces if he wants to keep his job as NATO puppet dictator. So spare yourself the embarrassment before you get all excited about alleged Ukrainian victories. The fact the fake news media will report it as such come July 9, 10, 11, etc., is a foregone conclusion. But too many people now (including members of Congress and the press) see and understand the game being played. And come the first week of July, Russia will be ready to crush like a bug any effort to steal their headlines. RobSGive Peace a chance 01:31, June 13, 2023 (EDT)

New weapon introduced in Ukraine

Both sides have introduced, for the first time into combat, a new weapon. As of now it appears the Russian version is somewhat more advanced.

The new weapon is essentially a mine-laying rocket launcher that lays down mines behind an advancing force, so if or when they attempt to retreat, they enter a mine field that wasn't there when they advanced. In the Russian version, it's launched on a GRAD or Multiple Rocket Launching System (MLRS) with each rocket laying down 600 mines (the mines also have a self-destruct timer which then allows the defending force to advance later through the mine field.) As of this moment, the Russians being on the defensive, have the advantage in allowing the attacking force to enter into the kill zone, than locking them in so they can't retreat. NATO/Ukraine hasn't been able to get close enough to Russian lines to lay down their version, which wouldn't do much good anyway in a breakthrough cause they'd have to kill everyone, including reinforcements, at the breakthrough point rather than allow them to retreat. And then they'd have to wait (assuming NATO's version has a self-destruct timer) to advance. The Russian version also has an automated receptor that can be keyed to self destruct (in electronic warfare, you'd have to build a system that can hack into the radio frequency to get it to self-destruct so you can retreat; when that happens, all Russia needs to do is eliminate the radio receptor and go back soley to the timer). So the weapon really is more for a defensive posture than offensive. RobSGive Peace a chance 22:50, June 12, 2023 (EDT)

One more point: the purpose of probing attacks and an advance is to find a breakthrough point; when the breakthrough occurs on a line, the attacking force then funnels through hordes of reinforcements to reek havoc behind enemy lines. The new system lays down instantly a new minefield for reinforcements to traverse before reaching the breakthrough point, slowing the advance. RobSGive Peace a chance 23:11, June 12, 2023 (EDT)

Not going to debate with you on this subject any longer, as you don't have ears to hear. Will post facts and relevant stats and leave it at that. Let the reader judge. Time will tell which side was right. NishantXavierFor Christ the King 07:43, June 13, 2023 (EDT)
You got that one right. I don't have ears to hear propaganda. Well, yes I have ears to hear and recognized it, but not a brain to absorb it and make it part of my being. Many years ago I asked the Lord for the gift of discernment (per 1 Cor 12) and he was true to his word in granting the gift. RobSGive Peace a chance 14:04, June 13, 2023 (EDT)
The Politics of World War II in Contemporary Ukraine, IVAN KATCHANOVSKI, University of Ottawa
This study examines the role of political factors in attitudes toward World War II in contemporary Ukraine. The research question is which factors determine public views of the principal warring sides and their leaders in Ukraine. The analysis of the 2012 Kyiv International Institute of Sociology survey shows that regional values, political party preferences, ethnicity, language, and age have significant effects on views of the Red Army and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) during the war and attitudes toward the wartime activities of Joseph Stalin and Roman Shukhevych.

Updates

From a psyop perspective, it would have been easier to respect Russian armed forces from the beginning, rather than to force them to earn that respect again, and teach a lesson for the next 80 years.
From a political perspective, as you can read anywhere, NATO has clearly stated that their objective, whatever the outcome, is to have negotiations after the end of summer. But think again momentarily, what if Russia isn't in the mood to negotiate? Do you honestly believe NATO and the West can dictate where and when to have negotiations? That's simply more disrespect. Are Western populations ready to make the same kind of privations their grandparents and great-grandparents endured in WWII, or that the Russian population is enduring now and has endured since 2014?
At some point, surviving Western Nazis and globalists, and their subservient serf populations, will have to humbly face the victors. RobSGive Peace a chance 16:41, June 13, 2023 (EDT)
  • The Nazis vow to kill everyone means they will follow NATO's main attacking forces in Zaporozhe and send in an Einsatzgruppen of Azov types behind them to murder anyone who voted in the referendum to join Russia.
