I will not remain silent. I will say what is needed to be said. I put "white christian" in quotes because the definition of "white" is not constant, was created by humans, not pre-ordained by God, and has expanded over time. The big "E" "Evangelicals" are not true evangelicals, nor are they true Christians. This ethnonationalist group created their

Don't forget Putin was KGB. Once a Chekist, always a Chekist. Putin might not use direct military force to take over the Baltics and get direct access to Kaliningrad. There's been trouble in the past with the Russian minority and also mysterious cyberattacks of "unknown" (probably Russian) origin. But you are 100% right about denying Ukraine to Russia.

"Transnistria" is another faux Russian statelet along the western Ukraine / Moldovan border, currently occupied by a few thousand Russian troops. The Kaliningrad exclave (former German WWI era East Prussian Königsberg) is another region that Putin wants to "reconnect" with Mother Russia.

What started out as an early 19th Century sex cult became a 20th Century business empire and only needs to be a "religion" as a tax dodge. The only "mission" or "vision" (apart from reproducing more sheep to fleece) is to preserve the mores of post WW2 era America in the midst of sweeping demographic and social change — because that's when the ossified men who r

but it's worse when you see so many people who claim to be "good" people screaming the same things -- only they say they are just doing it because it's "god's will" as a psychological escape mechanism so they can tell themselves they aren't Nazis when they are doing the same things...
