Your thinking is very clear. The realists in the first highlight claim that the bellicosity of the situation is offset by practical detente. But I wonder if the influence the devil and his cohorts (more intelligent than we) will tip the scales concerning this horrific possibility. Only the utilization of prayer and fasting is the bulwark holding back catastrophe at this point. We must do our part! Ephesians 6:12 For we are not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Yes, I believe that you're very close to the truth, Don. The only ones benefiting at this point in the USA are the arm manufacturers. Ukraine is suffering more and more from the prolonged conflict. Those who believe that Russia's call to negotiations is a ploy; well I say: let the West agree to sit down at the peace table to prove the deception of Putin. The time to do this is now before the Bear launches its winter offensive. Having Zelensky come, and then claim his speech hankers back to Winston Churchill is a literal farce, mere theatrics; propaganda to shore up a war that has killed thousands upon thousands of young Ukraine soldiers and destroyed their power grid! I'm fed up and grieving. I must write my congresswoman!
There are members of MOG who are on the other side of the fence than I. I hold no angst toward you. It appears the devil has gone overboard to create divisions in the world, between East and West, liberals and conservatives, modernists and Trads, the yeahs for gender fluidity and those who adhere to the male/female dichotomy...etc... Come to our rescue Lord and definitively restore the glory of Your Kingdom!
Everything about it is evil. I sometimes watch the Redacted news channel on YouTube although I'm not much of a fan of the presenters. In this video they talk about some more revelations concerning Hunter Biden and Ukraine. The FBI had the laptop in 2019. In 2020, George Soros funded a role play event with representatives of the major news media on how to handle leaks about Hunter's activities. One of the strategies was to report it as misinformation by an outside actor dubbed the "Bear": I also watched this Remnant video. Although I like Michael Matt and believe him to be a sincere, devout Catholic, I think that his criticisms of Pope Francis can be too extreme. In this video Harari from the WEF forum refers to Russia as "a gas station with nukes". What a way to describe the world's biggest country with an ancient and rich cultural heritage. I think that Harari also sees transhumanism as a great benefit to the world. (There are clips of him on a video "The men who own everything" on The Truth Factory channel. I won't link to that video because three is enough in one post). In Michael Matt's video, he showed clips of an expose Alex Jones had done on Bohemian Grove. Alex Jones can sometimes make 2+2 = 22, but I actually found his documentary on Bohemian Grove and it gave me the creeps: I know that all of the above are likely to be dismissed as the conspiracies of crazies, but if even a quarter of it is true, Europe and America's most dangerous enemies lie within. I went into our kitchen to make a cup of tea and someone had left the radio on. Someone from a "non profit agency" was being interviewed. He was explaining that he monitors Irish activity on social media for what he regards as unacceptable behaviour such as vaccine scepticism, climate change denial, anti-lgbtq and racism which he stretched to include anti-immigrant, mentioning Ukrainian refugees specifically. I'm not sure, but I think that he threw in the magic word "fascist" to justify his Ministry of Truth style activities. The interviewer didn't bother to ask him who funds his non-profit agency. I have a strong suspicion that it isn't Putin. Hard times ahead for believing Catholics no matter how it all plays out.
A little info to not forget when listening to the above person: https://twitter.com/TulsiGabbard/status/578185129471922177
Russia had slavery until 1723, serfdom until 1861, a Church that has been the willing servant of the State throughout its history, alcohol and tobacco consumption which has historically been prodigious in comparison with other nations and which is even now the major cause of death among middle aged men, abortion rates that are also prodigious, its people have hardly ever exercised a free and fair vote for its leadership and prefer to be safely 'apolitical' and left in some sort of amnesiac peace. The exercise of free speech is constrained by threats of prosecution to the extent that it is virtually non-existent and the perceived enemies of the current president and their families die at an alarming rate. Great music and literature (the best of the latter being anti their several and appalling governments from Tsar to Stalin to Putin).
We Irish were once a nation who kept one another honest. We called a spade a spade and as a part of our collective make-up, shunned B.S. These days however we have become a nation distracted and fooled. A nation of yes-men. We accepted everything "the man" thrust upon us. From unchecked immigration to property tax to restrictions on burning turf. We sold our souls for big houses and the illusion of an "easy life".
Yes, for Catholics especially but as well any who profess Christ and especially those who defend christian morality. Once Babylon was a city then it became empire and now it is aiming for the entire world.
I strongly urge everyone to listen to Frances Hogan as she goes through the book of Revelation. There are several videos but she unpacks chapter by chapter the layers of that mystical book. I think andree posted them on an earlier thread.
That is the story of the That was the whole West jack. All the western nations sold their birthright for a mess of pottage. Ireland held out longer than the others . That's how I know we are on the brink. IMO.
If reports are accurate (and at this point who knows what is true anymore) … this is a very serious …. At some point I do think Russia will respond beyond Ukraine https://www.zerohedge.com/military/...ars-leveled-russian-barracks-donetsk-possibly
This is so sad, death tolls continue to rise maybe the pope will go to Moscow soon.??? You are correct miker this very serious since they used US supplied Himars.
I think so too. From the point of view of Russian leaders, it would be unacceptable to lose this war. The political consequences for Russia would be very bad at various levels. In my opinion, the Catholic prophesies are becoming more and more likely. Russia will have to go all in to achieve an acceptable negotiating position. In the meantime, the Russians know that the confrontation has been planned for a long time. Former Ukrainian President Poroshenko openly said already in the summer that he never intended to implement the Minsk agreement, but that the agreement was only meant to give Ukraine time to rearm. And he added that the agreement had accomplished its task from this point of view. No one had intended to implement the agreement. Recently Merkel and the then French President Hollande confirmed this. So Putin and his backers know that it is not about Ukraine but about Russia.

I have been listening to a life of Pope Benedict, it is a great teacher His father as a police officer despised Hitler and was regarded as an enemy of the Nazis. The German Catholic Bishops opposed them too but when it got too hot for them caved in. It is said if Germany had been Catholic the Nazis would never have risen to power as Catholics generally did not like them. Protestants generally went along with them ,some of them enthusiastically. Hitler was a .inor anti Christ like Stalin or Napoleon It reminds me so much of today when we have so many minor anti Christ's like Biden, Soros and Bill Gates
