Sadly but true. The separation of Ukraine and Russia has been the fault of the EU. Both Ukraine and Russia need each other. They have had a friendly treaty since 1997. And the majority living in Ukraine are Russians. The EU plan would never work. It’s a pipe dream.
I am very afraid of China's later actions if this conflict takes place, I think they would be strengthened amid the rubble of a war between Russia and NATO
That’s my fear. Trump understood that too. But Biden’s policies just push Russia closer to China. Insane.
And Fatima talked about “the errors of Russia” spreading throughout the world. Those “errors” are Communism and cultural Marxism. The error of Communism has overtaken China (and some other countries. But the errors of cultural Marxism are taking over the West. Russia still has many errors, like abortion, but cultural Marxism and outright Communism are truly a thing of the past in present day Russia. She is more Orthodox than the west is Christendom, by far. It’s not even worth arguing. Russia will save the west from the cultural Marxism rampant everywhere now where Christendom once held sway. From our prejudices and MSM propaganda “the west” might see the coming Russian aggressions as “Communist.” But that won’t be the case. The salvation of the west from its mire of cultural Marxism is going to come from the once origin of Cultural Marxism. And it will start in Ukraine. Russia isn’t dumb. They realize China poses a greater threat to them than NATO.
I think the key phrase is "when communism comes again". It certainly feels like atheistic and cultural Marxists have taken over Ireland with these lock downs and covid rules. I wouldn't mind Putin and Russia coming to rescue us.
Communism is just when the state owns all property. Universal Basic Income replacing self-sustenance is a way of getting to the goal where “you will own nothing and be happy”. Just propose to give everyone a universal basic income in exchange for the state canceling all debt. Don’t allow people who don’t get the mark to participate. And portray them as anti-vaxxers who are a threat to humanity.
In reading this Brian, I got the image of the serpent raised on the beam - the "serpent" in this image being Russia, the origin of Cultural Marxism. If salvation comes from Russia, it would truly be biblical and a total smack in the face to Satan whose diabolic actions in the Soviet Union served to create greater faith there.
It is a strange and confusing time. The governments of the West are behaving like enemies of the citizens they swore oaths to serve. Personally I think pretty much all of them should be hung from the neck but who would replace them? Foreign invasion or obliteration would at least be palatable. I cannot stand traitors and sychophants and Ireland is full of them.
Here's a tweet from Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of State under Trump and a very devout Protestant. He's sending a message regarding Taiwan with an icon of Our Lady of Vladimir is on the table in the background. Pineapples are a symbol of welcome (friendship??) in DC and the South. Also next to the family book on the left is an icon called 'The Hospitality of Abraham'. . I think Russia is our friend in this situation where Taiwan is being threatened by China. Mike Pompeo @mikepompeo · 18h As a proponent of freedom, enjoying some Taiwanese dried pineapple. Checkmate.
The Trinity (Russian: Троица, tr. Troitsa, also called The Hospitality of Abraham) is an icon created by Russian painter Andrei Rublev in the 15th century.[1] It is his most famous work[2] and the most famous of all Russian icons,[3] and it is regarded as one of the highest achievements of Russian art.[4][5] Scholars believe that it is one of only two works of art (the other being the Dormition Cathedral frescoes in Vladimir) that can be attributed to Rublev with any sort of certainty.[1]
The Virgin of Vladimir, also known as Vladimir Mother of God, Our Lady of Vladimir[1] (Russian: Влади́мирская ико́на Бо́жией Ма́тери, Ukrainian: Вишгородська ікона Божої Матері), and the Theotokos of Vladimir (Greek: Θεοτόκος του Βλαντίμιρ), is a 12th-century Byzantine icon depicting the Virgin and Child and an early example of the Eleusa iconographic type. It is one of the most culturally significant and celebrated pieces of art in Russian history. Many consider it a national palladium with several miracles of historical importance to Russia being attributed to the icon. Following its near destruction in the thirteenth century, the work has been restored at least five times.
The globalist west is the communism as far as I can see and Russia might be the hammer than smashes it, but the smash could be very painful initially.
My take on all this, until Russia is consecrated, she is Not our friend in any true sense. In the West, even our own politicians work against us So much corruption....
I have a real affinity towards this beautiful icon! It brings so much together. Reminds me of my childhood hearing the Bible story of Abram’s “visitors”. I seriously could never understand why that story spoke to me so much. Possibly it was its mystery? Not a bad thought since the Trinitarian aspect IS Mystery!
