REPLY. I’ve had employees on either side in Ukraine. I’ve been nicely conscious of the hatred and animosity that I don’t see will ever be resolved. That is just like the battle between the Shite v Sunni in Islam or the Catholic v Protestants in Christianity. Zelensky has shut down free speech and has seized control of the main cathedral and monastery in Kyiv which has all the time been Russian. It has all the time been affiliated with the Russian Orthodox patriarchate and allowed its Ukrainian rival group to make use of it for Orthodox Christmas providers. The cathedral is the oldest Orthodox church in Kharkiv. This was constructed within the Baroque fashion on the expense of the group in 1771-1777 lengthy earlier than Ukraine was even an thought. The previous church was destroyed and dated from the center of the seventeenth century.
That is no completely different from the French King seizing the Vatican and shifting it to France at Avignon. Zelensky outright hates Russians and has even known as on NATO to NUKE Moscow in a sneak assault. Zelensky mentioned a nuclear assault on Russia is “wanted in order that [the Russians] know what awaits them in the event that they use nuclear weapons” throughout an event with the Australian assume tank the Lowy Institute. “Not the opposite manner round, ready for Russia’s nuclear strikes after which saying, ‘Oh, you’ve finished that, then get this.’”
That is the man we’re to ship any missiles to? He’s consumed with hatred and is probably the most harmful head of state maybe surpassing even Stalin and Kruschev.
