Russian President Vladimir Putin said during a human rights council meeting on December 7 that the threat of nuclear war is rising. Yet he insisted that his nation has not “gone mad” and would not use its nuclear weapons first. He said:
“Such a threat is growing, it would be wrong to hide it. But we have not gone mad. We are aware of what nuclear weapons are. We aren’t about to run around the world brandishing this weapon like a razor.”

The president is increasingly treading the path of the most murderous and ruthless tyrant in Russian history.
When Soviet leader Joseph Stalin set his sights on Poland at the start of World War II, he could have followed the example of his Nazi allies and simply taken his half of the nation by unabashed force. But Stalin instead decided to go to a great deal of trouble so he could hang a grotesque mask of legitimacy on his annexation. After half a million of his troops had massacred tens of thousands of Poland’s soldiers and civilians, he staged a sham referendum in which eastern Poland’s people were made to vote on whether to join the Soviet Union. Then upon learning that more than 90 percent were in favor of joining, Stalin graciously accepted the “will of the people,” and the conquest was complete.

Russia revives the concept of holy war in Europe.
“Ukraine is not just a neighboring country for us. It is an inalienable part of our history, culture and spiritual space,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said on February 21. Patriarch Kirill of the Russian Orthodox Church also emphasized the spiritual aspect of the war over Ukraine. In a March 6 sermon, he described the invasion as a war “against evil” and a “religious cleansing operation.” Putin, Kirill and many Russians want to halt the eastern advance of the irreligious West and reunite the two countries and their churches. Subjecting a people under a religious authority through military means is conversion by the sword, or a “holy” war.

Has America more fault in the war than Vladimir Putin?
Pope Francis has refrained from naming the aggressor in the Ukraine war. He has referred to it as an internal conflict between brothers. He has prayed for peace. But he has been unable to condemn Russia for causing the bloodshed. After weeks of contemplation, he has finally identified the problem: the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. In a May 3 interview with Il Corriere della Sera, Francis said, “NATO barking at Russia’s doors” could have alarmed the Kremlin about the alliance’s intentions in Ukraine. He admitted that he “can’t say” if this “provoked” Russia’s anger, but that it might have “facilitated” it.

Joe Biden may be increasing American defense spending, but not enough to save the U.S. Navy.
As Russian President Vladimir Putin ratcheted up the battle for control of eastern Ukraine, Joe Biden asked America’s Congress for an $813 billion defense budget next year. This budget is 10 percent larger than the current defense budget. Yet this increase is barely enough to keep pace with inflation. So, the United States Navy will continue on its trajectory toward a smaller fleet. Biden wants to spend 22 percent of next year’s defense budget on the Navy, giving the Navy enough resources to build nine new battleships while retiring 24 old battleships.

The West wants to isolate the Russian dictator, but most of the Eastern Hemisphere is linked to him.
Russia’s war on Ukraine has exposed Russian President Vladimir Putin as the authoritarian dictator that he is. He has forced 3 million people to flee their country, made East Europeans quake with fear, put NATO countries on alert, and caused many people to openly discuss the possibility of World War III.

The eyes of the world are focused on the dictator’s savagery against Ukraine. But a brutal crackdown is underway on the home front.
Did you know that Ukrainians have been grossly overreacting? It turns out that, despite the rapidly rising body count and the rapidly growing piles of rubble in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, Russia has not gone to war against the country.
That, at least, is the situation according to the Russian government.

The world has been shocked by the actions of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Authorities are still uncovering bodies, many of them tortured, in the area around Kyiv. But if people really understood the background of this man, they would not be surprised.
Russia is a rival power to the United States. It fought America in the Cold War, and its socialist ideology has infiltrated American universities, news corporations, government and culture since the 1960s. It is also a major antagonist toward Eastern Europe and Europe as a whole, which America has treated as its allies. And it is not afraid to assault nations like Georgia, Ukraine or Syria. Its nuclear arsenal and delivery systems rival those of the United States.

What is the current administration’s endgame in Eastern Europe?
Barack Obama has condemned Vladimir Putin’s attack on Ukraine and called on all Americans to impose sanctions on Russia even if doing so hurts the United States economy. His statements make him sound like a strong ally of Ukraine, ready to do whatever it takes to protect innocents from harm. But there is more to this story than meets the eye. When you examine Obama’s career, you find that he has done everything in his power to encourage the current invasion.
